Windows 7 won't load

I tried all the recovery tools given to me, even backed up my files, but I did not want to restore my laptop to the out of box condition unless I have to. The disk check is fine, no errors, the memory check also, no problems found. It will restore to a previous date no sweat, but it always comes down to fix your computer window. When I use the restore it starts doing stuff and then I get a window that says Unable to fix computer automatically, do you want to send this message, which I did at least 15 times to no avail. Windows is unable to fix the problem. So I also tried to go to program that allows a command prompt as I read on a previous fix by someone, so I entered and tried to run sfc/scannow but it wants me to boot windows first and that's the very thing I cannot do. Can you help please. Not a computer whiz but I can follow directions. thanks.

Hi @rhhox ,

Windows won't load! Help!

I have a Toshiba C655-S5132. In the middle of doing a Windows upgrade, we lost power and now Windows won't load. I have removed power cord, taken out the battery and turned back on (several times).
I get
"Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause."
I have tried "Launch Startup Repair" and "Start Windows Normally" both several times. Each time it says "Windows is loading files" and then goes to a black screen with only an arrow.
I don't know what to do next.
Please help.

What are the system recovery options in Windows 7?
-Jerry

What can I do If Windows won't load??

What is the system repair disc??
If Windows 7 won't start or starts with significant problems, you may need to use the System Repair Disc to fix problems with Windows 7. The System Repair Disc is designed to let you boot up Windows — even if nothing else works — and provides you with several options for repairing your failing system.
You need to create the system repair disc. If you don’t create one, you limit your recovery options. The system repair disc is not the same thing as the recovery disc that came with your computer. It won’t reinstall Windows 7 and it won’t reformat your computer. It's simply a gateway to Windows' built-in recovery tools.
So I wake up today and my OS won't load. What can I do?? Well , what I'm going to do is find the system repair disc that I made and see if I can boot with it. If it boots, it will give me several options to try and fix my problem. If I was smart enough to have created a back up image of my OS on a external USB, then I will be able to select that option and hopefully if the other options didn't help, I will be able to restore my PC back like it was the day I made that back up. If it will not boot with the system repair disc, then I probably have some major hardware problem. This is not rocket science and it totally amazes me that smart people ignore this tool. If this theory is wrong or needs to be amended, please feel free to do so. I have never tried this way, but I don't see any reason it won't work as stated in this message
Dokie!!
Ps if this doesn't work then go here. This is a excellent tutorial written by Peter. Step number 9 will tell you how to make a linux CD that you can boot to if your hardware is good and you have data on your HD that you can't live without. Step number 10 after that.

i have a year old e-machines computer and it won't load windows. sometimes you can unplug it for awhile and it will work,sometimes it won't. sometimes you can relaunch windows and it will work,sometimes not. have tiied windows restore with no luck. any suggestions?

Very true indeed. Limewire is the source of about 30% of our "virus removal" business. Honestly it is.
For hardened computer geeks, it's less potentially harmful, but for the average user, it's pretty much an open door for all sorts of nasty things.
To "recover" your computer, you will need "recovery discs" that you hopefully made, or came with the computer.

A78M-E35 board Windows won't load

Trying to upgrade, system loads bios screen no problem, starts to load windows, then goes to the "Windows did not shut down properly" screen with 2 options, repair windows, or load windows normally. Neither work. The quick start brochure says to insert OS disc, all I have is a recovery disc. The manual is pretty sparse.

IWeb window won't load - and all menu options are greyed-out

I've used iWeb before (with a web site set-up), but I tried to open it today and the iweb screen would not open. The program menubar loads, but almost everything,including New Page and New Site are greyed out.
I checked my ME account and it is active and working.
Not sure what the problem is here - any ideas?

Hi, I had the same problem!
After one evening of pulling my hair out, I tried the following:
1. Located the 'domain' file (or package). In my case at /*user/Library/Application Support/iWeb.
2. moved the domain file to the desktop (or somewhere else)
3. Started iWeb. I got the warning that iWeb needed a domain file in order to operate, and I confirmed that I wanted the program to create a new one for me.
4. iWeb started as normal, but with no contents. I closed iWeb.
5. I ctrl-clicked the original domain file on my desktop, and selected 'show package contents'.
6. I ctrl-clicked the new, empty domain file in the Application Support/iWeb directory, and selected 'show package contents'.
7. I deleted everything in the new, empty domain package file.
8. And finally copied the contents from the old (seemingly corrupt) package file into the new one.
9. Hooooray! iWeb started with the old contents intact!

Tried system recovery and it failed now windows won't load windows

My computer (HP G71) was giving me some problems, so I saved my files to an external drive and tried to do a system recovery. When I ran the system recovery, I got an error message that said it could not do this and to reboot. I clicked the "OK" button. When it rebooted, it just sat at a black screen, Windows never came up.
This question was solved.

Hi,
No, the method I suggested will not work if you can't read the entire 25 character activation code.
How have you tried running a system recovery - was it from the partition on the Hard Drive or from a set of Recovery DVDs?

Installed new HD, but Windows won't load

Hello,
My uncle has a HP Pavilion G7-1329WM. The hard drive crashed, so I installed a new one. When I try to install Windows with the the Windows 7 dvd, I get the following message "No device drivers were found. Make sure that the installation media contains the correct drivers, and then click ok." There is a box that pops up on the screen before this message, that the hard drive should appear on. However, the list is empty. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

I understand that you are trying to replace a defective hard drive. When you try to install Windows you are getting a message to install drivers and the hard drive is not listed on the pop up window.
Are you doing the Windows install from a retail disk or are you using recovery disks?
What type of hard drive are you trying to install?
Is it recognized in the bios when you have it connected?

Satelite Pro A300 - Windows XP won't load

I fear that this may be due to a virus.
I was using the computer and a blue screen flashed up with white writing on it, it then switched intself of and now Windows won't load, not even in safe mode, or any of the other options. When I try to load in safe mode etc... it just comes up to the same page.
I can get in to the Boot section by pressing F12, but although I am computer literate, this is all absolutely new to me and I have no idea what to do next.
Has anyone got any ideas? Unfortunately I am outside of my warenty and would prefer to get the laptop up and running without spending a fortune at a repair shop.
Thank you!

Windows will not load up

I installed the latest firefox update, was working for a few minutes, and then the computer froze up. I restarted my computer but windows won't load up, either in safe mode or normal mode. Startup repair won't load either, it just cycles back to the error recovery page. My laptop is in a coma because of the firefox update. What is the fix?

I recently bought a new tower with windows 8.1 everything was fine until yesterday when I went to watch a video that someone had posted, the sound was there but the screen was all green everything I try to watch has a green screen, I have gotten rid of the green screen but now the video won't load to watch. it tells me I have to upgrade flash player but my computer tells me its already embedded or something like that in windows 8.1. can you help.@marks93255255 or [email protected]!

If other devices can connect to the network without problems, it means that the router can provide wireless internet. For this situation, an isolation process is needed to be able to find a fix.
Was the computer tested to connect through Wi-Fi before you bought it?
Did you do Mac address filter on your router?
Make sure that the router is using WPA/WPA2 or WPA2 encryption type just like what Chester has recommended. If your router is already set to that security type, you may test by disabling the wireless security of the WI-Fi router. Check if it will connect or not.
Another thing to check is the properties of your wireless connection. To do that, Go to Network and Sharing center > Click change adapter settings > right click “Wireless” > go to Properties> click Internet protocol IPV4> check the Properties button below > make sure that it’s set to both Obtain IP automatically and Obtain DNS server automatically.

Windows 7 won't load properly / possible HDD failure?

Well I will start off by saying I've been having problems with this since I've bought it. It used to be under warranty and I had to ship it back twice, and I've had to do countless system recoveries but this time I'm at a loss. My current problem started about 4 days ago. I had skype downloaded, and my skype started freezing randomly, but only for 30 seconds to a minute, and then come right back to working. Then this started happening more frequently, and then it got to the point to where it wasn't just skype that would freeze, it was my computer. It must have only been explorer.exe that was freezing or something because my mouse still moved, and if I was in a skype call the skype call would work but I couldnt type or click on skype without it saying that it wasn't responding. Then yesterday that problem upgraded again to nothing working very well. My computer (again I can only assume it was explorer or something) would start up normally, and then once I got to my desktop the load light would come on my tower and freeze / slow down anything and everything. Example was I had VLC media player open watching a show and the video would freeze for 2 to 5 minutes, play for 10 seconds, then freeze again. Beforehand it was only slight lock ups, but then it became full blown lockups. Once that load light came on it stayed on and never wavered and I would be forced to restart my computer to even give it a chance to run properly for a few minutes before this same problem would occur. Yesterday however the problem upgraded once again, and my computer wouldn't even let me get to my desktop normally. I was able to load into safemode with networking to try some solutions but nothing worked. Then the hangup issue started occuring in safe mode as well, forcing me to restart again. This is where it just keeps getting worse sadly. My computer would get to the "Starting Windows" screen, sit there for a couple minutes, then maybe 1 out of 10 attempts it would get to the "Welcome" screen as if it was trying to load my desktop but never would load it, and on the other 9 attempts I didn't make it to the "Welcome" screen it just sat a black screen with the load light going and it would never do anything. My mouse has never been frozen at any point so it's not a full on freeze situation, but something isn't right. I did a sytem recovery last night, put it back once again to factory settings and it still locked up a little but nothing compared to how it had been. I turned my pc off and went to sleep, and then this morning it did the usual not getting past the "starting windows" screen. Sometimes it wouldn't even recognize my hard drive, giving me the old "insert media and boot from disc" or "No media found", I also got two errors, PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable, and the other message was PXE-MOF: Exiting PXE ROM. Then after receiving those messages my computer would restart and give me the choice to hit a button to load from disk. Throught the course of this problem I tried startup repairs, smart tests, anti viruses, nothing did anything to help. So I decided once again it was going to be time for a system recovery, but now when I hit f11 to go into the system recovery options, all of it is blacked out. I can't even click on system recovery anymore. So at this point Windows 7 won't load at all, not even in safe mode, and I'm lucky to even be given the OPTION to start it in safe mode. Half of the time it seems my computer doesnt even recognize my harddrive, and I can't even do a system recovery or repair tools, but the repair tools didn't really do anything anyway. So I have no way to use that computer, and Im thinking it might be HDD failure but I'm not hearing any noises coming from it and my computer has always been a little slow so it's not like things have slowed down by a lot so I'm not so sure its my HDD but I have no idea what to do or where to start since I've exhausted all my of resources on trying to fix this issue myself. I know this problem is probably way too vague to try to get an accurate idea of what is wrong, but I will check back now and then and answer any questions to the best of my ability (I'm not tech savy so if you need really fancy PC information you wil most likely need to tell me how to acquire said information). I mean I guess if I have to I will get a new HDD, but that means I will most likely need to get a new OS, and I love windows 7 with all my heart and I don't want to upgrade at windows 8. I feel like it's my OS but it could very well be anything at this point.

ITunes Won't Load on Windows 7

ITunes won't load since the last update. I tried updating to the new beta version, and it still won't load. I have lost my contacts on my iPhone and now I can't load iTunes. I do have another computer running an older version of iTunes and would like to transfer my contacts file to the older computer and then sync my iPhone to that computer. Can someone please help me with transfering my contacts file to the other computer? It would be nice if iTunes would load on this computer, the one I use all the time but it seems this problem is not being addressed. Do Apple personnel only address these problems if you pay them for support, or do they fix their software and help their customers? Here is the error message I get, and as you can see, iTunes is not loading, just giving the error message:
The following program has performed an action that requires Windows to temporarily change the color scheme to Windows 7 basic.
Program: iTunes
Publisher: Apple Inc.
Process Identifier (PID): 4652
Windows will automatically change the color scheme back to Windows Aero when this program or other programs performing similar actions are no longer running.
iTunes never starts after this message. I've checked Windows Task Manager to see what programs are running. I've tried using the iTune comaptibility option but that didn't change anything. iTunes has always worked, now nothing. Nothing happens when I plug in my iPhone, or when I start iTunes. I just want my contacts, that's all!!! I had always thought I was safe because I always backed up my phone -- boy was i wrong.

It doesn't do anything, and QuickTime doesn't do anything either.
many thanks. In recent times, the error-message-free launch failures of both iTunes and QuickTime have often been indicating that some application (other than QuickTime itself) has dropped old QuickTime componentry in your system files.
So just in case we'll go looking for older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
First we'll need to change some view settings.
In your Start menu, open Computer.
In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, and Hide extensions for known file types is unchecked.
Click OK.
Now in Computer, open your C:\ drive (or whichever drive you have your operating system installed on).
Open the "Windows" folder.
Open the "System32" folder.
What files and folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the title? (In a standard installation of Quicktime you should be seeing precisely two files... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)
