Re: Boot Up

Hi Brink,
I try to find out my problem in your tutorial but found nothing likely to my problem. My problem is during boot up after the microsoft green bar disappear monitor going to energy saver mode instead to show the desktop/user account and everything is hang up there then I have to press the restart button to reboot again but this problem are rarely happen. However it keep me wondering on what is not right .
Please help and hopefully you can solve my problem. Thx.

Re: Boot Up

Hi Shafiez, and welcome to Vista Forums.

You might try running these to see if they can help first:

Startup Repair:
Startup Repair

sfc/scannow:
System Files - SFC Command

chkdsk:
Check Disk - chkdsk

Video Drivers:
Reinstall the latest video driver version for your device.


If they do not help, then check your startup programs to see if anything in there may look like it could be causing the hang up sometimes. You can temporarily disable the startup program as a test, and enable it again if it is not the cause.

Startup Programs - Enable or Disable

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Re: Boot Up

Hi Brink,
Almost one week after I follow some of the instructions my pc looks good no more hang up problem during boot up but still I cannot understand what is the real problem. FYI, I just tried your second step-sfc/scannow, what was weird no error found. Then start from that time everythings running find. Anyway, thank you very very much.
If you know why pleaseee do explain to me.. bye

Re: Boot Up

Shafiez,

I'm happy to hear that your computer is running fine now. The sfc /scannow command will only search for and fix bad system files if any are found. If it finds not errors, then it just means that you did not have and bad system files. Your problem may have been anything from bad drivers, corrupted boot file, wrong setting changed, to etc...

Re: Boot Up

Hi Brink,
Sad to say, I'm still having the problem, do you have any other way to solve this problem. I have tried all the steps you show after it happen again (before I only done the sfc command) but today the same problem repeated and as usual I have to reboot then go to the safe mode and restart again. Hopefully you have a solution to my problem. thank you.

Re: Boot Up

Hi GUImonster,

Where is the .VBS script for what??

If you mean to do all of the options above, then I'm afraid I do not know how to create one for all that.
