You need to use Windows disc to fix the boot up problem. Later, before you download any update, please test and fix the operating system using this Norton Utility:

I have a dell precision m4400 and the mouse has a mind of its own where I have no control over it through the touchpad or using an external mouse,

Boot it to safe mode and see if the problem goes away. If it does then it may be a driver issue, if it does not then take a q-tip and wipe all the way around the edge of the screen. Then reboot and try again.

Password dell precision m90

I understand that you have lost your user password.

If this is windows 8, I cannot help.

If this is any other version of windows, boot using safe mode with gui by pressing f8 at boot. create a new user account and work with it. move data (whatever you want to backup) from your user directories to another drive while you are in safe mode. Use the new account and this time write down the password somewhere.

I install windows 8 in Dell Inspiron 1525.it was going fine but after 2 days now when i turn it on it goes in welcome window but after that nothing.everything blank.my mouse curser work and move all...

Hello,

There are a lot of reasons why it's doing like that.

Here's my suggestion, you boot to safe mode and fix from there.

You can try updating the drivers in your computer if you can boot to safe mode. You can use RadarSync to automatically scan and update the drivers.

If you can't boot to safe mode, then you might want to reinstall the operating system then you have to manually install the drivers into it.

Is there another way to have my T3500 run in safe mode other than F8...When I press F8 while my computer is booting up it gives me a blank screen.

If you stop windows from booting up all the way by holding down the power button during the "loading windows" screen, until it turns off. Start it back up and before windows loads it will give you a menu, with options like "start windows in safe mode with networking" or "safe mode with command prompt"

Error code 53000:031e stop:0x0000007E COMPUTER WIIL NOT BOOT UP

hi there !

-boot to SAFE MODE
-restart the computer and press F8 and choose SAFE MODE then do the steps below

Windows Update Causing STOP Error 0x0000007E

-For now simple system restore should fix the issue, else uninstall this update by booting to safe mode.

-Uninstalling windows update KB973879 and hiding this update from available update is currently seem to be fixing the issue.
In case if removing update KB973879 doesn’t fix the issue, we need to remove remaining two updates KB970653 and KB972036.

cheers!
