We apologize for the inconvenience, but Windows did not start successfully?

We apologize for the inconvenience, but Windows did not start successfully. A recent hardware or software change might have caused this.

If your computer stopped responding, restarted unexpectedly, or was automatically shut down to protect your files and folders, choose Last Known Good Configuration to revert to the most recent settings that worked.

If a previous startup attempt was interrupted due to a power failure or because the Power or Reset button was pressed, or if you aren’t sure what caused the problem, choose Start Windows Normally.

Safe Mode
Safe Mode with Networking
Safe Mode with Command Prompt
Last Known Good Configuration (your most recent settings that worked)
Start Windows Normally

Is Anyone Experiencing the Internet Explorer “about blank” page?

January 7, 2010

I am using Firefox as my browser. Yet, every time I try to log on to it, Internet Explorer comes up with this "about blank" page. I try to close it and it simply multiplies itself. I eventually have to manually turn off my computer.

How can I keep this from popping up and how can I get rid of it without manually turning off my computer?

How can I repair WINDOWS Xp without reinstalling the entire operating system?????!!!!
Okay, i was doing some computer cleaning, deleting junk files, uninstalling, etc… then when i restarted my computer, my operating system, windows xp media center, the whole interface was lost. in other words, i cant see my desktop start menu, everything was reseted as if it was in safe mode and the whole GUI, graphical user interface stopped working. SO i cant copy my files or other things that i want to save before i would install the whole operating system all over again. SO BASICALLY I THINK THAT THERE IS A REGISTRY ERROR OF SOME KIND AND I CANT CLICK, COPY, CUT, ERASE, OR ANYTHING, NOT EVEN START ETC. How can i repair the system, i already tried system restore but it gives me an error that it is corrupted. I think of either using recovey console in windows when ou boot it up, BUT I DONT KNOW HOW TO USE THAT!!! PLEASE HELP !!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause?

I was just using my computer(Windows Vista) listening to music (on it) while drawing something up for my class until my mouse and keyboard died luckily my BAMBOO pad was working so I "X" out the open windows and restarted my computer. As I was waiting the screen was black and the Windows Failed to start
showed up…and again my keyboard wasn’t working so the timer was over and it automatically went to repair, when that was done it showed again so I turned off my computer and turned it back on suddenly my keyboard worked and I just hit enter on "start windows automatically" then it just started working.

I looked up how to repair this problem but they all say I need the disc to Windows Vista which I don’t have so my question is How do I repair it now?

what is a good site i can go to to learn to manually clean windows registry?
