Windows won't show up on start up

Hi,
I finally managed to get boot camp working and save an Windows .ios file to my samsung 3.0 Hardrive however when I press alt on the start up only the macintosh HD and the recovery disk shows up. I dont think it's a problem with the ios file itself because when i plugged it into a friends pc it comes up and i can click on it to install windows.
do you have any ideas?

Hi @seriousdream ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read about your HP Notebook and getting a blank or black screen on startup. Try performing a hard reset.
When performing a hard reset please note remove any and all USB devices. Disconnect all non-essential devices.
You can do a system restore. System restore will help if something automatically updated and did not go well on the Notebook.
Thanks.

  • Itunes browser window won't show on mac

    Since yesterday the jukebox browser window in itunes for mac won't open or show. I had version 8.01 installed. The mini browser window does show. I've tried deleting and reinstalling itunes but it still won't show. I've also tried altering preferences. this is in the administrator account, and I can still get itunes to work OK in other accounts. It seems that itunes is working otherwise, but as a result I can't access the itunes store or choose music. I'm concerned that I can't synch my ipod and iphone properly as I can't see what might be happening.

    I'm an Apple Authorized Service Provider and just had a customer with the same issue (which is how I found this post). After much troubleshooting including deleting preferences and creating test user accounts, the problem was as simple as can be. The iTunes window was open the whole time, but was dragged all the way to the lower right hand corner of the display and out of sight. Select Window->Minimize and you should see the Browser window move from whereever it's hiding into the dock. Then click on the window in the dock and you'll see it move back to it's hiding spot. Just drag it to the center of the screen and you're done!

  • Reminders window won't show up after clicking in notifications center

    After clicking a notificytion in notifications center on Mavericks the APP Reminders opens but the application window is not showing up. Allways worked like a charme but not any longer for me.
    I tried to:
    1) uncheck the iClound sync for Reminders while Reminders.app ist closed which deletes all local data!
    2) logout my user
    3) login again
    4) open Reminders
    5) check the iCloud sync for Reminders again
    After this procedure, Reminder is working again for a day, then again the Reminders window is not showing up, after clicking a notification or open the Reminders.app manualy.
    Why is this, any hints?
    Cheers

    In addition: after I went thru the steps above the applications runs without problems until I close the app again. When now reopening the app will show no windows.

  • Console window doesn't show on second start of java.exe

    I am building restart capability into my product.
    When the product is started for the first time, it is started through a Windows EXE using a ShellExecuteEx method. I simply launch "java.exe" with my classpath, etc. My Windows console window shows up and I am happy.
    When a do a restart of the app, I am inside of the original JVM. I have access to the exact same commandline that I used in the EXE to launch "java.exe" originally.
    With the restart, I simply call Runtime.getRuntime().exec(commandline) and pass in the exact same commandline that I passed in when I did this in the EXE. However, when I do this from within the JVM, I do not get my Windows console window. This is not good.
    Does anybody understandn what is going on here and how I can remedy this?
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    I'm not sure what is happening in your case.
    Do the images initially show in "Tools > Page Info > Media" or is that always with size 0px?
    Quote: ''but if i click on same link second time than size gets right and image is shown under preview box.''
    Is that with clicking on the web page?
    Can you load the images via the links that you see in "Tools > Page Info > Media" without any problems?
    Do you see the request for those images in the Network tab in the Web Console (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer) and what is the server response in that case?
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
    *Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

  • ITunes window won't show up?

    I've tried repeatedly reinstalling, updating, etc...
    It started on iTunes 11.0.2
    Is still a problem on 11.0.3
    I've scanned for viruses, I've checked everything
    The window opens for a split second when I start iTunes and then disappears
    Everything is greyed out in the top bar menus
    I can open the equalizer and get pop-up messages from iTunes but no window.
    I've checked the expose and everything the window isn't hiding, it just won't open. It's simply not there.

  • Skype window won't show/becomes invisible after lo...

    When I launch Skype, the login screen shows and it automatically signs me into Skype.  However, once the login screen is gone, there is no Skype window.  The application is still running, but all I can see is my desktop.  Skype is basically invisible--I cannot call or even view my contacts.  How can I solve this problem?

  • VPN Client and Windows 7 - Window won't show

    Bizarre issue I've now experienced on two separate PC's with VPN Client 5.00.07.0410 on 32-bit Windows 7:
    Out of the blue, when the user double-clicks the Cisco VPN Client icon, the lock shows up in the system tray, and the application shows in the taskbar. You may get a glimpse of the window when you double-click the taskbar icon, or single click it and choose the application from the list. However, you are not able to actually get the window to be visible. This of course makes it impossible for the user to click the "connect" button.
    I've discovered that when the icon is in the taskbar, and you hit "Enter" on the keyboard, it will connect. However I wouldn't expect a user to be able to figure this out, and so it was quite frustrating for them when this happened.
    I've noticed there is a new version of the software for 64-bit users, but not for 32.
    Anybody else experience this? Find a solution?
    I tried uninstalling/re-installing and it made no difference.

    Try this so you don't have to do it each time... it worked for XP Pro 32-bit (Dell E6410). Haven't yet encountered on W7 Pro:
    Bring up Task Manager (Ctrl+Alt_Delete). Open the Applications tab. Highlight VPN Client, right-click and select Maximize. (Sometimes if the system dies (power-loss) when connected to VPN the registry remembers the minimized setting and will not un-minimize it except with this process (and maybe one yet to be determined).)
    I'm currently working (20140617) on a similar issue for W7 Pro for the User Authentication window where the RSA passcode needs to be entered. Alt-Tab works but I'm trying to make it permanent. (One problem is the user has a difficult time following instructions.)

  • Media and Effects manager and video windows won't show up when STP launches

    Today I launched Soundtrack Pro (from FCP Studio 5 Academic) and neither the Media and Effects Manager window (with Browser, Search, Favorites, Bin & Effects tabs) or the Video would show up. All I get is the project window.
    When I tried importing an audio file or opening a multi track file, I still don't get these two windows, and under the window menu, all of these options are GREYED OUT.
    Is there a certain setting I need to bring up the other two windows this program needs? Shouldn't they just be there when the program launches? HELP!

    Update:
    So, I just tried re-installing the software and I still only get the multi-track window when the program launches. I can not see any way to get the video viewer or Media and Effects manager windows to show up.
    Please, what am I doing wrong?

  • Login screen won't show up after "Starting Mac OS X..."

    Hi all,
    I have a little bit of a problem with an iBook that I was using a couple of months ago. (I haven't had time to use it since then...)
    What happens is that I'll turn it on, and it'll start and everything, but a few seconds after "Starting Mac OS X..." disappears, the screen turns black and turns into a command prompt and asks me to log in through the prompt. After I log in, the screen just turns blue, basically like the "Starting Mac OS X..." screen, but without the window. Nothing happens after that.
    Can anyone please tell me what's wrong? Can someone help me solve it?
    Thanks in advance for any answers.

    Try starting in safe mode and doing a Pram reset.

  • Can't accept EULA because itunes window won't show me "OK" button

    My ipod mini died so I bought an ipod nano. itunes recognizes the new ipod and wants me to accept a EULA, but the text window in which it displays the EULA is too narrow (and can't be widened) and as a result I can't even see the OK or Accept button (or whatever it is) because it's off to the right of the visible space in the window (and of course there's no horizontal scroll bar). Any suggestions?

    So, no? Nobody but me with this problem?
    I have been able to open my projects on a different computer so I figure my GarageBand is funked. I want to reinstall but am having trouble doing this now. I have an iMac, so I insert my Install Disc and choose "Install Bundled Software Only", then try to select just GarageBand. GarageBand is greyed out, I can't install it. Everything is greyed out except for "CPU Help Files".
    So...any ideas?

  • My iPod Classic is seen by Windows but not by iTunes.  I have reset it, gone to disk mode and it won't show up in iTunes.  There appears to be music on it in a file called MUSICSAVE.  How can I get this to work with iTunes again?

    My iPod Classic is seen by Windows but not by iTunes.  I have reset it, gone to disk mode and it won't show up in iTunes.  There appears to be music on it in a file called MUSICSAVE.  How can I get this to work with iTunes again?

    1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
    2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
    3. Check the USB cable
    4 Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
    5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
    6. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job
    7. Check for third-party software conflicts.

  • IPhoto suddenly won't show windows anymore, help, anyone?

    Since I've been using Lion I expierence all kinds of problems. I regret updating ever since.
    For example, my internet connection keep turning of every couple of minutes (while all other divices at home stay connected). My solution is to turn my wifi off, wait a while and than turn it on again. It's really poor when one uses the best iMac there is. But I guess that's Lion. I got used to it.
    But my question:
    iPhoto suddenly stopped working (at first it did work!). It does start, but it won't show any windows.
    I've deleted the cache, restarted my iMac, no result.
    It all began when I plugged in my iPhone.
    Now I'm no longer able to backup my photo's anymore.
    Can anyone help?
    I've also tried cicking the icon while pressing alt and cmd, for more options, but it doesn't work...
    Hopefully one of you know the solution!
    Thx!
    A.

    Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.
    (On 10.7: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)
    (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    What's the plist file?
    For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

  • Windows won't start after downloading driver.

    I recently installed an audio driver for my Lenovo Ideatab Lynx but after restarting the device, windows won't start up. It shows the lock screen but after unlocking, the screen stays blank and wont show the start menu. I think i accidentally installed the driver from the windows 8 page when i do have windows 8.1 on my device. Is this why this is happening and how can I fix it?

    Satellite P205-S6307 
    The only way it will start is in safe mode.
    So you know how to get to the Advanced Boot Options menu using F8. Go there and choose Repair Your Computer.
    When you reach the System Recovery Options menu, choose Startup Repair.
    I've tried several things..
    If that doesn't fix the normal boot, tell us what you've already tried. There's no point in our repeating all those.

  • Mission control won't show windows properly.

    Mission control (expose) won't show windows properly. It's really annoying when I'm working and need to see what I've got opened or switch between apps. Sometimes it'll display them correctly, other times it won't. See the 2 screenshots open 3 windows:
    1st screenshot: http://cl.ly/image/0U0q1N3J0Z2f
    - chrome browser
    - finder
    - messages
    2nd screenshot:http://cl.ly/image/2F0T3o1z0e3Z
    only icons of chrome and finder are shown, but no windows. No messages not even the icon.
    I'd really love all the help you can provide.

    My problem started when the update to 10.7.5 ran. Mission Control in the Dock continued to work as before the update.
    In System Settings>Mouse, the side buttons on my Might Mouse had been changed to 'Expose - App Windows.' I  had to change the setting back to Mission Control.
    Perhaps MtnLion suffered a similar glitch.
