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.

Java has been updated as well as firefox but java refuses to run - drop down menus won't work (ebay) and pogo game windows won't load.....HELP

Ever since I updated firefox to 3.5.16 java ahs stopped working. Drop down menu's in ebay don't, windows from links (such as tracking in ebay) don't work, pogo game windows won't load or will load the widow frame but not the game itself. I work online and run and online business and this wastes a lot of my time. Idon't want to use IE but might have to - I have looked in the forums and online and can't find a solution. Your help would be greatly appreciate it.

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.

Windows won't load

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.

ThinkPad T410i Windows 7 not loading - help!

I have had the machine with pre loaded windows 7 since 2010. Today I tried to recover the factory settings as it had become real slow to boot etc. Neither the thinkVantage button nor F11 while booting took me to the desired place though. Instead, the screen "Windows error recovery" came up. Now every time I click "Start windows normally" windows fail to load, I see briefly a blue screen, then back to the initial welcome screen, to the "Windows error recovery" screen and so on, vicious circle.
Any ideas please? I don't have a recovery cd.
Thanks in advance!

when you hit the "ThinkVantage" button does it display the menu to choose from BIOS, Boot device, and esc?
And do you have access to another computer and a flash drive?

I have had the same problem and found that if I opend up iPhoto where the videos were placed from, it cleared up the problem. Crazy, huh? Plus, you have to make sure that the iPhoto account is opened to the correct one...this is done by Option Clicking on iPhoto and choosing which account you have the active videos in.

System won't load (help needed)

Hello!
I have a PIII 600 computer which I don't really need, but I decided to make any use of it with Archlinux. The problem is that even before I cleared my hard drive, the only thing I had been able to load on it was Windows ME in a safe mode (I don't know if that's the correct name for this mode, as I was using Polish language version).
But I managed to run the Arch installer using acpi=off option. Now, when I turn the computer on, I can see the Grub menu, but no matter what I choose, the system stops loading and just does nothing. I had the same sympthom when I used the installer without acpi=off option (or with any other).
Can anybody tell me, what kind of problem (I guess it's my hardware) do I have? Is there a way to run the system I have installed right now, maybe using command line in Grub?
Some additional info: I have 128MB SDRAM DIMM (Windows was saying it was 126, but my bios finds more than 131 000 bytes), SoundBlaster 128, nVidia Riva TNT2, 17-inch LCD working at 1280x1024, a PCI wifi card, a radio ISA card. I can't run Archie nor memtest.
Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Wiki is your friend - http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Main_Page
I do not mean to be mean, it's simply inefficient to try and answer all the questions you _will_ have while trying to configure Arch to your liking, especially since Wiki covers most of them, and covers them well. If you come across a problem that's not covered in the wiki post here and we will definitely try and help you

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?

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.
I'm running an AMD A10 7850K black box version processor, 2 4G Corsair DDR3 2133 memory. Thermalake 750w PSU.
I've tried 2 HDD with win 7, and both HDD work fine on another machine.
Edit: It was an open box purchase.

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?

Any suggestions .... ?

Iphoto opens but won't load help please

i have 13" inch macbok pro mac osx lion. my iphoto will open but when it does not load it just keeps spinning please help

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

TD
