when opening my laptop it is always stuck on starting windows screem ( the screen with windows logo )
You need to reach the recovery environment.
What are the system recovery options in Windows 7?
When you get there, try a Startup Repair. Sometimes it takes several tries.
If that doesn't work, do a System Restore.
And there are other things to try as well.

(preparing to configure windows) Do not turn off your computer.
what should be done and what should i consider so i do not face such problem later
thank you

Hi fatem,
Before going further, would you please let me confirm something more?
Can you remember which operation had been done, then this issue occurred firstly? Installed some updates or any other operation?
When this issue occurred, please check if you can ping and RDP to this SBS 2011 standard.
On current situation, it’s hard to say the root cause of this issue. I suggest that you can restart the SBS
2011 standard in Safe Mode with Networking and check if this issue still persists.
If more details you can find, please feel free to let me know.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,

Preparing to configure Windows... for 13 hours now

I reinstalled Windows 7 for reasons that could be explained in an entirely separate thread.
Anyway, Windows 7 is stuck on the "stage 3 of 3 Preparing to configure Windows" screen and has been since late last afternoon. So for a good 13 hours.
I'm not supposed to turn the computer off...
So do I wait until the world comes to an end or do I have other options?
Yes, this is happening after running MS Update after the reinstall.
We really don't have this kind of time to waste.

This was a GREAT tip. I only waited about 15 minutes before using Google to find this answer. Once I pressed
Crtl+Alt+Del to log in, there was an additional update to be done. It proceeded as it should have, and all is well. Thank you for saving me alot of time and frustration.

Preparing to configure windows message

Hi. My Toshiba Satellite laptop is stuck with the message "Praparing to configure Windows - Don't turn off your computer". How do I fix it??

Sounds like you were either in the shutdown or powering up phase after a Windows update that required a restart. I would do a hard reset by holding down the power button for 8 seconds or so or until the computer shuts completely down. Wait a few seconds and turn the Power back on.
Just go with the flow when it powers back up. It may do so normally or it may immediately try to install the updates again and if it does, let it try and see what happens.
If you ever come back here again for any help, please include your complete model and OS info as in my examples below and explain your situation thoroughly.
Good Luck!

Window stuck maximised; "restore down" minimizes window.

There are a few posts already about this problem, where FF windows will not resize from maximum via the restore down button, but instead minimize to the toolbar...and vice versa, you can only maximize the window from the minimized position.
After searching for solutions to this problem, I saw one post that suggested closing Firefox (I have 13.0.1), then opening it in Safe Mode. I'm running Windows Vista and couldn't find how to open FF that way, but instead I ran FF as administrator and the problem was solved!
I wanted to share this solution to help others in previous posts, but the threads have been locked and marked as Solved, which is why I am posting this 'question'. Just In Case there is anyone out there who also is seeking solutions to the problem! (And also to perhaps encourage administrators to keep threads open a Little bit longer...it would seem that several so-called 'solved' problems actually are not.
Thanks!

TokyoBill, thanks for sharing your solution for your problem with us.
by the way see in the next links what is and how to open firefox in '''safe mode ''':

G580 failure configuring Windows updates

I'm helping a friend to sort out his G580 laptop which he has been unable to use because of the Windows 8 interface. I've been trying to install the Windows 8.1 update but it tells me I need to run Windows update first. When I do this and it restarts, after about 15 to 16% of configuring Windows updates, it says failure configuring Windows updates, reboots several times, and after a while it's back where it started. I've seen the article saying that this is caused by Nitro PDF, so I removed that, but the problem still occurs. I've also tried all the suggestions that Microsoft makes, ie run Windows update troubleshooter, do a clean boot, do a system restore, but it makes no difference. Can anyone suggest anything else? Is it possible to get a Windows 7 recovery disk and use that, or is there no license to use it with this laptop? I'm seriously considering installing Linux as this laptop is more or less useless as it stands.

hi beachmat,
Can you try the following:
1. Download and run the Windows 8.1 Upgrade Assistant
- this will check compatilibty with apps that are installed on the PC.
2. Take a look at this Windows 8.1 Upgrade Guide by Lenovo
- check if you have the apps that are listed on the "Applications that are recommended to be uninstalled before upgrading"
- uninstall the apps if necessary
If you still get errors after installing Windows Update prior to installing Win8.1, try to install the Windows Update one by one (oldest ones first) and observe.

Stuck in "Failure configuring Windows Updates: reverting changes" loading loop

I just bought a new Asus notebook with Windows 8 today. I wanted to upgrade to Windows 8.1, so I had to first go through with all other updates. When the minor updates got to 98% the computer changed to the "Failure Configuring Windows Updates Reverting
Changes" screen. It has been on this same loading screen for several hours now. I have tried restarting the computer multiple times. I have looked up several troubleshooting videos and guides, but everyone else seems to have been able to leave the loading
screen and fix the problem in the actual working computer. I am still stuck in the loading... loading... loading screen. What do I do to get back to the home page? Or anything just to fix the problem.

Kayla,
Thank you a 100 times! Being hooked through a modem to my network, as opposed to a direct link, was EXACTLY the problem.
After wasting 2 hours in the other sections of this forum through numerous threads of the same issues (with the same cut and paste answers by support engineers) it was just that simple. Bam! 5 minutes all better.
What alarms me is that not one of the dozens of posts i read through did an Engineer ever ask if they were hooked through wifi or a router. Even Dell's hideous support center will go through the basics first before launching into the hoop jumping.
Again bless you. If I could I'd buy you a drink, or cookies, whichever you prefer :)

Virtual PC / XP Mode Error outs with Required configuration: - Windows must be configured in mode 800x600 minimum - Windows must be configured in mode 'true colors'.

Hello,
I am running Application using XP mode and Virtual PC on Windows 7. I have 8 GB RAM and more than 300 GB free disk space. When I launch application in XP, I receive following error
Required configuration:
- Windows must be configured in mode 800x600 minimum
- Windows must be configured in mode 'true colors'.
My screen resolution is 1024

and I do not see any other options to resolve this problem.
Any guidance is greatly appreciated.

This is a thread that discusses your problem.
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/12a17fa5-ddab-4480-8973-1a13bfb2e8fd/need-more-than-16bit-color-depth-on-windows-xp-mode?forum=w7itprovirt
Your app is probably calling for 32-bit color, and XP Mode with
integration features doesn't support that. There's 3 ways around it.
one, is to enable remote desktop in XP Mode and connect to the VM with
remote desktop.
2nd is to turn off the integration features and then you can set the XP
Mode desktop to 1024x7687 and 32-bit color
and 3rd, if you app supports 24-bit color, there's a registry hack to do
it. It's in the thread I posted above.

Configuring Windows with Afaria

Hi,
we would like to configure Windows (not Windows Phone!) devices with Afaria channel scripts. Configuring the WiFi connection interests us in particular. Has anyone done this or know any helpful documents?
Thanks!

Hi Vivek,
I have done this once in my project. Ensure you have the correct authorizations and while installing/connecting to AD, you get the following screen. Enter your LDAP Server details like LDAP://0.0.0.0:389 and enter the UN and Password ( preferred to have a service account to validate the user login / admin authorizations as per your requirements)
Click on Yes and continue. See if this works.

How to configure Windows server 2003 with WebDav

Can anyone advise on the best way to configure Windows server 2003 with WebDav so I can get the likes of some of those Apps such as PDF Expert and GoodReader to see the folders.
I have installed the necessary services and on a Windows PC and can browse to the URL OK which lists the files (setup using a Virtual Directory).
When I tried using this with GoodReader/PDF Expert, it could not find the server in question.
Can anyone help me?

Hello，
Please make sure you have checked "anonymous users" on receive connector.
Do you mean you can't send an email to external email address? If so, please post the detailed NDR information.
Please use get-receiveconnector | fl cmdlet to check your receive conenctor configuration.

Macbook air with thunderbolt display - windows stuck on air's display

I have a Macbook Air and a Thunderbolt display. When I use the Air without the Display attached, the windows gather on the Air's display. When I return to the setup with the Display included, some of the windows remain on the Air's screen making it impossible to get to them without opening the Air and manually moving the windows around. The Air is tucked under the display, and opening it to move the windows back to the Thunderbolt Display is a PITA.
Despite the lid being closed (and never having been opened after waking from sleep/connecting the Thunderbolt Display) the Displays control panel still sees that display as active.
I cannot find a way of moving the windows back to the main screen unless I'm lucky enough to grab the right spot to move the windows to the larger display.
1. How do I get the Mac to recognize the Air's lid is closed, and to disable the built in display?
2. If that's not possible, how do I use Mission Control (where I can see the windows) to get the windows moved to the right screen?

I have no idea where that dirt came from. I really have no clue what it is, and it won't go away by blowing in it. I will contact local authorized store (there is no Apple stores in Croatia) but I highly doubt they'll be able to do anything without taking the laptop apart. Although I highly doubt it could it be rust from cleaning my MBP? I always put a couple drops of water on cloth I clean my macbook casing with. I have no idea if I am going to be able to do anything at all because the gap is really small, pin couldn't get to that dirt. I don't know what that could be, I never eat or drink close to my mac. Just my luck. What's Q Tip? Never heard of it since I live in Croatia

Mavericks: Backup: Stuck at "prepare" after a few successful backups

Hi,
after a few backups (two or three) the backup is stuck at the preparation phase. In the console logs I found these lines:

I assume that the servermgr lines are not really relevant.
What do the lines with "mds[76]: (Warning) QueryTask..." mean?
Can I find more details about that?
Can this be the reason for the backup problem?
I was trying to do backup with a Time Capsule before, but after some time it won't even do a single backup (stuck at prepare). Now I did a fresh install with Mavericks and attached a fresh 1TB HD (SATA) with a USB HD dock. Interestingly the same happens: Some backups work, but then it is stuck at "prepare".
I have a macmini4.1 server. I installed OS X Server (3.1.2) and macports with samba3. Also the second disk in the mac mini server contains a lot of files which are shared by SMB to Windows clients.
Thanks in advance and best wishes,
Rainer

Hi, thanks for the updates.
Use Disk Utility to " Verify Disk" of HD2 to check whether it needs to be repaired.
If the verify is ok, perform a " Verify Disk Permissions " to determine if permissions are ok.
The Verifications will not make any changes to HD2
The lockup may be due to a corruption of HD2.   Is HD2 the only copy of the files?
Verify Disk:
It says "The Volume ... is apparently ok" (original German message: "Das Volume „Macintosh HD2“ ist anscheinend in Ordnung.")
The button "Zugriffsrechte des Volumes überprüfen" is grayed out. (I assume this is the one which would be "Verify Disk Permissions")
The files from HD2 are still available in my FreeBSD server. The files there are not updated currently, we were working on the new HD2 disk so far. Also I assume that from the previously working Time Capsule backup they should still be on the Time Capsule. So currently I have two backups and an older "mirror".
I was hoping at first that I simply do some clickety-click in OS X Server's file sharing to turn the mac mini into our new server. However, Apple's samba leads to broken files, disconnects and lots of other issues. So I installed samba3 from macports and disabled SMB on the max mini. I wonder whether macports or Apple's samba messed with some files.
The access rights on the file server disk are not relevant. This server is only used by me and my wife in our little IT business, so I can set each and every file and directory to a new owner etc. I assume that there are more things than only chmod and chown on Mavericks. How would I recursively set owner and rights including access control and maybe other things I do not yet know? (certainly more than "chown -R ..." :-) )
The remaining text deals with spotlight related log entries:

From here on the log messages are after the spotlight has been enabled on HD2:
This is from a backup directory of a Nintendo 3DS. The "content" directory contains files with an .app extension which are certainly not Mac compatible app packages. What does the log message actually tell me? (one of the mdutil commands displays the full path to the file "00000003.app" in the contents directory)

I would assume that spotlight shouldn't stumble over incorrectly understood files (bad images and the like...)...

My apple TV 3 is stuck in recovery. When connected to iTunes through microUSB, it gets stuck in "Preparing Apple TV for restore", then after what seems forever, it gives me an error 2003. What can be done?

I tried to update my Apple TV today through iTunes using a microUSB. It gave me an error, I tried again and now it is stuck in recovery mode. If I plug it into the TV, it just shows that I have to connect it to iTunes (just the picture). I unplug everything, plug the microUSB and USB, plug the power, open iTunes, it shows, asks me to restore, I click Restore. It starts extracting the file, finishes, then gets stuck in "Preparing Apple TV for restore..." for what seems forever, when it finally times out, I get an error number 2003. I have tried different USB ports, no other USB device is connecte, I have tried restarting the PC (running windows 7, up to date, iTunes up to date as well), I have tried redownloading the IPSW and even using the shift+restore and manually selecting the .IPSW file, and to be honest, I give up! If anyone can help, I'd truly appreciate it. Thanks!
PS: I also tried pressing menu+down for 6 seconds to restart, I tried pressing menu+play to restart, I tried pressing menu+down 6 secs and then menu+play 6 seconds for the so called DFU mode, nothing works, the Apple TV just restarts back to the "connect to itunes picture" along with the fast continuous white light flashing.
