Unless you are a student of history or are planning a Mediterranean vacation, you may never have given the island of Cyprus much thought. Then suddenly, it dominated the headlines for several days. What does a banking crisis in a small and far-off land mean to you?
Here are five reasons you should care about Cyprus:
- The unthinkable is no longer unthinkable. Deposits in savings accounts -- especially insured ones -- are supposed to be rock-solid safe. However, the original deal negotiated between Cypriot officials and the European Central Bank called for a 6.75 percent levy on deposits below 100,000 euros, and a 9.9 percent tax on larger deposits. That proposal was ultimately replaced by one that would just freeze deposits over 100,000 euros. Any penalty on depositors is disturbing, and the fact that the European Union even considered confiscating a portion of guaranteed deposits is especially troubling.
- Offshore accounts just got a little scarier. Cyprus had been a favorite haven for foreign depositors. Right about now, anyone who has been squirreling money away in an offshore account, whether it's Cyprus or the Cayman islands or elsewhere, must be having second thoughts.
- It almost brought the Russians to the grown-ups table. Because many of those foreign depositors are Russian, Cypriot officials at one point sought financial assistance from Russia. No deal was reached, but just the fact that the idea was discussed is an intriguing might-have-been. Large, developing economies such as Russia's, China's and Brazil's have a growing amount of economic muscle. It would be helpful if they started to share the burden of safeguarding global economic stability, instead of the task always falling to the United States and the European Union.
- It's a reminder to check your deposit insurance coverage. Could this type of an unexpected seizure of deposits happen here? One would like to think not, but the truth is that it really depends on how big the next banking crisis is. The FDIC insurance fund is one line of defense against that. That fund is not inexhaustible, but it certainly means there can be a distinction between insured and uninsured deposits. The insurance limit is currently $250,000 per depositor, per bank, meaning you can have more money than that insured if you spread it among different banks. Given how bad the 2008 crisis almost got, the Cyprus situation is just another reminder not to get complacent about uninsured deposits.
- It's the latest sign of how fragile an interconnected world is. Cyprus represents about 0.2 percent of the European Union's GDP, and yet its problems are seen as a threat to the euro. In turn, that threat sent shock waves through U.S. markets. The problems in Cyprus are already an example of the financial notion of contagion -- the way one country's problems can quickly infect financial systems in other countries. Cyprus has a large ethnic Greek population, and its financial troubles can be traced to losses in Greek bonds. In short, while the Greek crisis has been out of the headlines for a few weeks, that doesn't mean the infection isn't still spreading.
You may never visit Cyprus, and you might never even look at it on a map. Like it or not though, that little island is suddenly part of your financial life.

Jones pens terms with Dale
Rochdale have completed the signing of former Bradford midfielder Ritchie Jones.
Last Updated: 12/02/13 3:59pm
Rochdale have completed the signing of former Bradford midfielder Ritchie Jones.
The 26-year-old, who began his career as a trainee at Manchester United, was a free agent after leaving the Bantams in January.
Dale boss Keith Hill told the club's official website: "He's got an abundance of ability and he's a naturally gifted player who wanted to come here.
"He had opportunities to go to other League Two clubs but feels as though this is the best place to re-start his career.
"He can play a number of roles including centre midfield which is his preferred position but, when you've got the likes of Andy Haworth, then I feel as though we need to address the balance on the opposite of the pitch."
Jones made 10 appearances for City this season, with his only goal coming against Port Vale on December 4.

I really like visiting the Screenface shop whenever I'm in London – it's like a little treasure trove although I do feel like a pretendy make up artist! A faker.
Screenface have their own range of cosmetics, which I admit I wouldn't have picked up in store out of choice. I have a cream blusher and a eyeshadow primer to test:
First off, the packaging is plain – it's black and certainly passable but it's just not special or fancy. It is a make up artists store though so I guess this is not where you'd go for your gold-bling-crystal-topped cosmetics.
The blusher is called Crush and is a pretty rosy pink. The eyeshadow primer is called 'shadow magnet' and comes in light and natural.
The shadow primer, is a little light for me – I prefer something with more of a translucent finish or something closer to my skintone so it doesn't look too 'white'.
The blusher looks like quite a standard pink to me – nothing special in the pan.
Both of these products have a medium hard texture – they do spread quite well but they aren't creamy.
Ok – for a blusher that doesn't look very special, I think it's a gorgeous product to use and the result is just LOVELY. No frostiness to it, just the right hue for me and is effortless to use leaving a natural glow:
I REALLY liked this cremewear blush – even though I still think it doesn't look like anything in the pan, I can't deny that the natural glow finish was effortless. I will definitely check out more of these in person because it was so easy to use.
The Screenface Shadow Magnet I have in light – I'd prefer it in Natural. This has a slightly – not gritty – but firm texture – like you have to give it a good few swipes to get some product off.
Then it reminds me of Too Faced Shadow Insurance but in solid form. It's actually a decent primer that doesn't change the colour of your eyeshadow too much and stopped my shadow from creasing.
It's still not my favourite – I prefer a cream texture, but it does work. It evens out the tone of your eyelids a little bit only.
Blush ingredients:
Check out the blusher here (£7.60) and the Shadow Magnet here for £8.75.

Hi all,
I have a Dell latitude D830, windows xp. I'm guessing I accidentally downloaded a virus onto my laptop because now, when I turn it on, after the Dell logo it goes to black and stays there. My knowledge of computers is minimal and if anyone could help me out, I'd appreciate it.
I recommend downloading and running Reimage. It's a computer repair tool that has been proven to identify and fix many Windows problems with a high level of success.
I've used it in the past to identify and fix everything from blue screens (BSOD's), ActiveX errors, corrupt files and processes, dll/exe/sys errors, recover lost memory, Windows update problems, defragging, malware removal etc.
You can download it direct from this link http://downloadreimage.com/download.php. (This link will automatically start a download of Reimage that you can save to your computer.)

Can someone please help me? I'm a first-time forum user
I've got an Acer Aspire laptop here that has decided to stop loading/starting up.
When I turn the power button on:
- I can see the Acer logo screen (and also get into setup if I press F2)
- The cursor (_) blinks once or twice
- Then the screen just goes black/blank and stays that way
Twice (when I have left power on at the black screen), I have eventually seen this Windows Boot Manager message (maybe after 5 minutes each time):
Windows failed to start. A recent hardware of software change might be the cause. To fix the problem:
1.Insert your Windows installation disc and restart the computer.
2.Choose your language settings, and then click "Next".
3.Click "Repair your computer."
If you do not have this disc, contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer for assistance.
Status: 0xc000000f
Info: The boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible.
Unfortunately, I do not have the Windows installation disk.
I have tried using a System Repair Disk (on DVD, burnt from another laptop with same OS)....but got stuck when the broken laptop didn't detect or couldn't read the disk.
I also tried the Alt+F10 system recovery, but after 20 minutes on the "Please wait a moment..." screen, I gave up and turned the power off.
Please help. Thanks.
Hello noob and welcome to Seven Forums.
Can you get into Safe Mode via the Advanced Boot Options menu? If yes, you can check for damaged or corrupt system files by running a system file checker scan from an elevated command prompt (option two in the SFC tutorial.) If problems are found, run the scan 3 times and reboot the computer after each scan.
Safe Mode
SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker
Another possibility from Safe Mode is to try rolling back your computer to a date/time prior to this problem occuring using a system restore point.

Troubleshooting Windows 7 Failure to Boot
_sometimes_ my sattelite A660-10x (PSAW3E) wont start.
I turn it on, you hear the fan coming up, on screen you see blinking cursor on left top screen, than it sort of jumps more to left and top more into corner and stops. Nothing happens, after a while i turn off the laptop.
If i do this 3-5 times eventually it starts. Sometimes it starts on first attempt.
What i tried:
Reinstalling the PC from disc partition with Win7
Taking out HDD into my desktop PC and running CHKDSC with scanning and repairing errors.
Cleaning up the whole PC from dust, fans etc.
Pulling out/in battery/AC
Memory check (RAM)
Processor power management change the minimum processor state from 5% to 100%
I understand PC well but so far have no idea what can cause this. The only thing what comes to mind is that the partition at start of the disc has errors which i cant reach since there is boot partition, original-installation partition, and the rest which is the only one i cant reach with CHKDSC.
What i heard that someone tried is changing the Motherboard battery (the small round one), can it be it?
It doesnt seem to be disc or LCD problem, nor RAM memory.
> I turn it on, you hear the fan coming up, on screen you see blinking cursor on left top screen, than it sort of jumps more to left and top more into corner and stops. Nothing happens, after a while i turn off the laptop.
Flashing cursor in the left upper corner is a known sign and could be related to faulty HDD or RAM memory problems.
Memory check could be performed and from my experience such memory checks provide approximately correct results. But even if the memory check would not find any RAM problems, it could be still an RAM related issue.
Of course, I cannot say for sure, if its RAM related issue or maybe its related to another faulty part.
Fact is that such issue is caused by hardware problems and in worst case the motherboard would need to be replaced.

Hello seven11 and welcome to SevenForums!
I think this article will be fairly interesting to read.
Why is my screen black when I start Windows 7?
Carry on.
I received the following error message when I attempted to restart my computer:
C0000218 Unknown Hard Error
When I restarted after the blue screen it went into a check disk but would not finish the scan.
I have tried to start the computer in safe mode with internet connection and after a few minutes the screen goes black. I've tried to start it using last known configuration and the screen goes black. Everything I try ~ the screen goes black.
I'm writing from my husband's laptop because my desktop is completely dead.
We were out of town for several days and when we returned my desktop was running very slow so I attempted to restart it. It locked up, I pressed/held the power button and when it restarted it attempted to run a disk check. The disk check locked up and I had to press/hold the power button again. When it restarted I got a blue screen ~ stop: C0000218 unknown hard error.
Sometimes when I attempt to restart it I get: checking file system on C:
file system = NTFS
When I attempt to restart it in safe mode, safe mode with networking or starting in last known good configuration I get . . .
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\windows\system32\drivers\ . . . (various items)
Now it won't start, not even in safe mode. Everything I try ~ I just get a black screen.
** I just tried to restart AGAIN and it ran disk scan, said it had completed disk scan and would restart, the screen went black when it attempted to restart and the screen is still black and it won't restart.
What can I do to get my computer back?
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Background: A week ago on vacation, I opened my HP Pavilion dv7-2173cl (a laptop running Vista Home Premium SP2) and suddenly, green and black lines began forming across its screen. I was later told this was a pressure crack, although that is not what I'm posting about. Freaked out, that day I turned the computer off and on several times using only the power button, once foolishly interrupting a "Startup Repair" process.
Problem: When I got home I hooked up the laptop to my TV so I could see what was going on. After attempting to turn it on many times, I eventually got the BSOD with a STOP:0x0000c1f5 error. I couldn't access the Recovery Module (even to backup) or Safe Mode. Going into personally uncharted territory, I booted from a Linux System Rescue CD to delete the $TxfLog file that was apparently the cause of the problem. I no longer get the BSOD, I get a black screen (KSOD?) (sometimes w/mouse, sometimes w/o) after the "yellow bar" loading screen. I still can't get into Safe Mode but I was able to use a Vista repair CD I downloaded to (finally) backup onto an external hard drive.
What I've Done So Far: I've run chkdsk, checked the memory and hard disk from BIOS options, and run Startup repair. I did the kind of Windows backup where everything goes to one file.
I'd prefer not to start from scratch if I can avoid it. Thanks so much for any and all help guys, I appreciate it a lot.
I couldn't access the Recovery Module...Do you have a Recovery CD, Windows Vista CD, or Recovery Drive (partition)?What happened when you tried to access it?------------------------------------------------------------You said that you were able to backup onto an external harddrive, so important data is safe.The best option right now would probably be to re-format.7 more replies
A friend of mine asked me to look at his old XP machine because it simply will not fully startup. It does make it through the initial boot routine and the "Windows XP" splash screen appears but, shortly after that, the screen goes black. All you can see is a black screen with a white cursor in the middle of it. The system does not respond to mouse or keyboard input.
I used a Hiren's Boot CD boot disk to look around his system. He has about 40% free space left on the hard drive which seems to function correctly. I am presently running a virus scan (via the Hiren's Boot CD).
I've never seen an XP machine do this so I'm not sure what is going on. I believe he is running SP3 but I'm not certain of this because I can get it fully loaded to check.
Any help would be appreciated.
Can you boot into SAFE mode? If you can, try updating the video driver for starters.
My computer stopped connecting to wifi. I decided to do a system reset. Now the screen is black at start up and the hp logo just flashes on and off the screen.

Hi,After start up my computer reaches the Windows XP log-in screen and within a few seconds the screen goes completely black but the screen is not in stand-by mode. The computer is still whirring away as normal. The time from start up to black out has reduced, we were able to get logged in and use it for about 10 mins, but that time has got shorter and shorter until just getting to the log-in page.Any ideas? The computer is about 5 to 6 years old.thanks in anticipation
Maybe check the air vents are not clogged up with dust and fluff if so inside will also need cleaning.When inside check that all the fans are working properly.8 more replies
Sorry I don't have the specs for this computer as I am offsite but, when we start the computer it won't get to the Windows screen. After the normal initial screen it just goes black with the blinking cursor and never advances further. Weirdly if I opt to boot via the CD drive (even if there is nothing in the CD drive), it will advance and load Windows and function completely normally. The glitch is only apparent when booting up.
Go into the BIOS setup screen and then set the CD drive first in the boot order and then save the change and exit.
See if that helps.
What's the brand name and model name and complete model number of that computer?
I now have a black screen at startup. Before I had a blue screen at startup and it would say things like "Panic Stack Switch" or "No More IRP Stack Locations" or "Bad Pool Header". This would happen when I would start up the computer or when I had some down time and instead of going into my screen saver the blue screen would come up.
I ran Combofix and now I don't get the blue screen at all. I get a black screen at startup. If I turn off my moniter and then turn it back on I get my regular screen for a second and then it goes black. This is my system information.

This morning my comp downloaded a security update for IE;
Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 8 for Windows XP (KB978207)
Security issues have been identified that could allow an attacker to compromise a system that is running Microsoft Internet Explorer and gain control over it. You can help protect your system by installing this update from Microsoft. After you install this item, you may have to restart your computer.
Since it was installed whenever I turn my PC on it sticks at a black screen for a few mins before re-booting and loading properly.
It says I can remove this update if I want, but I'm not sure I should.
Help please?
mmm, after downloading this update my "each day" account reported that it was corrupt. I went in to my admin account, decided to do an Acronis disk image first and then tried my other account again - this time it worked. Have you tried your admin account, or even safe mode? If so do they load properly. Personally I'm not sure removing the update would be a good idea as it apparently plugs a vast hole in IE.1 more replies

When I try to boot in safe mode I get the exact same problem - it won't get passed a black screen with a mouse pointer. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.

I have a Gateway laptop with Vista. Before today it never really caused me any problems and there was no critical warning signs.
My problem is upon starting my computer the screen is black and nothing happens. I can hear the fan running but at a lower volume then usual. The keyboard does not respond at all so pressing F8 or any other commands is useless. The CDrom does respond if I press eject on the side.
There are two things that I did today that I normally never do. First, I ran a disk clean up and I also had a USB "F Drive" SanDisk inserted into my computer because ironically I was seeing if I could use it to back up all my work and notes but I had no success.
After turning off my computer, this problem occurred maybe 20 mins later after I turned it back on. Also, there is no cursor on the screen it just a blacks screen with nothing else on it so it doesnt even look like that my monitor is on. I tried plugging my laptop into another monitor to see if that was the issue but it wasn't.
If I find a recovery disk to use will I be able to recover my work? Any ideas?
Go with starting up with the recovery disk.

Well, my main computer, upon bootup will sit with a black screen on the monitor. Now, the monitor doesnt even detect that the computer is sendign it a signal as it says "no signal input" when i turn the screen on and then remains black.
Normally when i turn my computer on there is a loud whirring noise that thend ies down to a softer noise and then boosts back up to a louder whirring noise again and remains that way through use untill shutdown. Now it doesnt even go past the first stage (it remains with the softer noise). Whats more, the flashing light on the PC case that normally goes crazy upon bott up and game use etc, to indicate hard drive access, doesn't flash once.
All this came after earlier that day i kept recieveing a blue screen of death after the vista loading screen. As a result i pulled out and plugged back in both my graphics cards (leaving them out for about 10 seconds) before reatching the 'crossfire' slide and tryign again, only to find the previously described black screen problem.
I then tried plugging my screen into a different socket (on the graphics card that previously had nothing plugged into it) and i still recieved the same problem with no variation. Upon trying to plug in my old screen (recieved my new one 2 days ago) there again, was no variation.

Every time i turn off this new computer and then try to turn it back on, i get a blank screen. So i need to open the case, clear the cosmos thing by holding something metal to the two little sticks and then i can turn it back on. So i just decided to clear the cosmos and then install my Windows Vista OEM 64-bit. after i did that i installed my motherboard disk. Then it told me to restart my computer, so i did. and I'm at the blank screen. I'm not sure whats wrong but i don't want to have to clear the cosmos every time i turn my computer on, so what do i need to do to fix this?

Hi, I recently rebuilt my new pc putting in new psu (old one died) and watercooling, I temporarily put the hdd in a pentium 4 whilst the new pc was out of use.
When I put the hdd back into new pc and started up, the screen was black, and remained black until I was in xp and my desktop was visible.
I tried resetting bios, and this appeared to work at first as I saw the logo on boot up, and the windows screen with moving bar came on as well as the blue welcome screen. But now I don't see anything at all until I see the desktop.
The monitor light also flashes on and off a few times during start up.
My pc specs are:
Biostar TPower I45 motherboard
Intel E8600 core 2 duo (2 x 3.33GHz) o.c'd to 3.6GHz
Radeon HD 4870 1GB Sonic Dual Edition graphics card

Also, I tried uninstalling then installing my graphics card drivers and associated software (like ATI catalyst control centre) as well as the monitor software.

Hi, I hope some of you can be of assistance to me.
This morning when I started my laptop I got the always pleasant black screen treatment...
It is an Asus F7SE, about two years old.
The computer starts, fans are running, lights for power and "on" working, the initial sound/beeps and the "ASUS" letters at the very beginning. Then black screen. I get no BIOS Post (info at the start) and Vista is not starting.
Have anyone experienced something similar or have any idea what I can do?
I have looked around on the net but not found anything helpful so far. I am not what you would call a computer expert but have some knowledge at a beginner/intermediate level.
Any helpful answers are much appreciated.
Hmm probably some virus or malware? Have you installed any software recently??Have you tried safemode? Is it working or the same blank screen their? If not try a virus scan or system restore.

This is my dad's computer, and he said that while he was watching "videos", the desktop PC popped up a BSOD of the Page_Fault_in_non_paged_area error type. After waiting several minutes to re-power the PC, the computer does not load anything, and the desktop emits out a loud and non-stop "whirring" noise. I decided to check the Ram one by one, and they all (individually and collectively) load up past the screen with F11,etc command options, but go no further when the screen becomes black (with a blinking underscore in the top left and an off-centered orange block). I've attached a picture of this.

One of my computers crashed yesterday when the circuits blew. It needs to be fixed.
So, I hooked up my other computer, Windows XP Media Center 2005, and upon starting the computer, I see the typical loading screen, but then when my desktop is due to show up, all I see is a tiny strip of my desktop at the top of the screen (or what I assume is such, because the strip is purple like my desktop). The cursor doesn't show up, and pressing Escape, Windows (by the Ctrl button) and the like, doesn't do anything. I even hooked up my other monitor, and the same thing happens.
The Windows XP was working fine in my old residence, if it is of importance. There have been no issues with either computer until the circuits blew yesterday. Everything is tightly connected, and I just can't figure this out with my manuals.
I am using my sister's computer to ask this, so thank you for being patient with my reply. I will be checking in periodically to see if anyone has a good answer. Thank you very much to anyone that can help.
Also, the Windows Xp 2005 was NOT hooked up at the time of circuit blow

I'm working on a computer that seems to boot up normally, but after the windows XP splash screen, it loads a black screen.

I tried booting into safe with command, but still black. the task manage will not come up, the windows key will not bring up the start menu. I've tried a different monitor and it comes up the same. any thoughts before I ghost the drive and attempt a windows repair?

The black screen is your start up screen. If you look through the tutorials you will find a few on the start up screen and how to change/ customize it.
Let us know,
Please can someone help me? I am NOT technically minded and so find it hard to sort out problems or even understand the answers (not a good start).
My PC has been running well - until today! I switched on, the PC worked, it booted up normally and got to the 'windows loading' green bar at the bottom. The screen went blank - the monitor did not go 'off' and neither did the PC.
If I turn the monitor off and on, the screen display is all there - windows has started and there's my desktop. Before I can do much with it though everything goes black again. I tried this a few times and the same thing happened. I booted up with my finger on F8 - booting in safe mode is no different - the PC responds as it should but the screen still goes black. By switching the monitor on and off repeatedly I limp forward to the point where I can do a 'windows repair'. This appears to work and I am now using my PC (obviously).
I have no idea if this will happen again - I wondered if some automatic update has clashed with graphics drivers but I don't know what I'm talking about nor what to do with the thought :-)
Please could someone give me a best guess solution in easy speak - I stress - I'm not in the least bit techie - any help most gratefully received - I'm scared to switch off now in case I can't get back here! Thank you.

Hello, I have a frustrating problem ever since I did windows critical update and changed anti virus and this problem occurred yesterday. Every time I reboot my PC, a black screen appears with a cursor shows up for a few minutes before going onto login screen/welcome screen. I did system restore back to a month and it still doesn't work. I uninstalled anti virus to see if that might be the case and the black screen is still there. I then reformatted my pc by reinstalling windows 7 again using the disc and the problem is still there. My pc is only one year old as well and it's quite fast and quiet. Normally when I startup my PC it goes straight onto the welcome screen/desktop without this black screen. What can I do in this case? Much help will be appreciated.
Black screen after login, cruiser still works,
When my computer starts up, there is nothing but a black screen for approx. two minutes until the Welcome screen appears. Hence, I cannot get into Safe Mode. Also, the computer in general is very slow.
At start up I get the message "CNYHKey.exe - Component not found. The application couldn't be started, because HKCYDLL.dll couldn't be found."
I've followed Broni's instructions to start the "Preparation Guide For Use Before Using Malware Removal Tools and Requesting Help", but dds.scr freezes the computer and gmer crashes. So, unfortunately, I cannot post any of the requested logs here.

Black screen with curser in center. Without clicking the mouse, dragging the mouse draws a blue box. Acts like the left click button is stuck. Control/alt/delete-task manager has Skype program running and some times another program. If I end all tasks, computer begins operating normally. Tried system restore to an ealier date would not complete. That was probably from not disableing virus protection. Any suggestion of cause?
Did you make any changes before the weird behavior? I'd undo them or try System REstore from System Recovery Options.
I would also establish a Clean Boot from Troubleshooting Steps for Windows 7.
If those fail then work through the other steps, report back results.

Started up the PCand it booted to a black screen. I didn't change the configuration in any way, it just happened suddenly.
What it does:
The PC turns on like normal. I get the bios screen. I get the Windows logo screen. Then I get a black screen with a mouse cursor in the middle.
I can move the mouse, but the buttons don't do anything--left or right click. No keys on the keyboard change the screen. Ctrl+Alt+Del does nothing. Windows key does nothing. Esc does nothing, etc. At this point the only option is to hold down the power button and turn it off.
I heard its the driver problem but i couldn't find a proper update link to solve this problem.
Does anyone here has any good solution ?

I can't put in any commands and I haven't tried safe mode yet because when I restarted the computer, it didn't even bother to load up the Windows logo screen like the last time I booted it up.

Hey all, I've been having a rather unusual start up problem, which I can't find relevant information on, through google:
When I try to turn my laptop on, it only gets so far:
vaio logo
logo.jpg 144.51KB
1 downloads
then black screen with tiny flashing dash
dash.jpg 149.81KB
5 downloads
and that's where it stubbornly stops. Every time.
I can't even get to the boot menu. No amount of hitting F8 takes me to the boot menu, or produces ANY response (yes, it's definitely F8 on this computer). The only thing the computer responds to in this state is ALT+CTRL+DEL, which restarts it.
A bit of context:
Last night my computer had a small "blue screen" crash -- nothing unusual, this has happened to me before on this and other computers, without any serious damage. But this time, I'm having the problems described above.

If everything is clear, reseat it properly with some or most laptops have screws to keep them firmly in place. Remove the laptop battery and press the power button for half a second. Now try booting it up again. If nothing happens go here and use the bootable disc to try and salvage your data. Let us know how it work out.1 more replies

Please help
In "Safe Mode" click on "Last Known Good Configuration" or try system restore by typing msconfig in "Run" box and go back to last date computer was working. Welcome to Major Geeks sorry about the delay in response, Hope that helps

Windows 7 used to work just fine on my HP Pavilion zd8000 laptop, until a few weeks ago suddenly it decided to go into black screen mode whenever I start up. The "windows is starting" icon shows, then it goes black... i hear the little jingle, but the screen is still dead. I have tried all the fixes, including setting it back to a previous date, etc. Finally I gave up on all that and reinstalled everything. It worked okay until it finished all the updates, and then the same thing happened again. This sucks. Now its back to Ubuntu for me on my trustee little Toshiba. Windows, I give up!
Did you do a clean install, incuding a format, if not go that route
If yes,
It may be hardware related.

I'm trying to get my old pc to work, but my computer starts up with the fans and everything, but then the screen just stays black and says "Power Save." The tower has 2 lights on it, one green and one an organish color that stay there. I assumed I needed a new hard drive, but that did not work. Maybe a new motherboard??...any help would be appreciated.
Make sure the video card is properly seated... you may also want to try a new monitor cord before going out and buying a new motherboard.
When i turn on my Dell Inspiron Desktop, i get a black screen and a flashing white underscore at the top left, please help, i have tried ctrl-alt-delete, esc. and turning it on and off, but to no prevail. please help me.
Do you hear anything on startup? Any beeps? Does the hard drive spin?
It sounds like it can't find the boot loader for Vista. Do you have the installation CD? If so, you might be able to boot to it. Put it in your CD drive, and open your BIOS (press F2 at startup). Find the option that says something about boot sequence. Set your CD/DVD drive to be the first boot device. Save the settings and restart the computer. It should boot into the installation cd.
Look for an option that says "Repair an installation". You'll want to select that, and open a command prompt. Once in the command prompt, type fixmbr. Let it do it's thing, and restart the system. You'll have to re-enter BIOS and change the boot order again, this time set the first boot device to be the hard drive.
It should boot after that. If it doesn't, do all of the above again, except when in the command prompt, type fixboot and proceed as before.
Hi there,
I am running windows 7 on a Toshiba Equium P300, and am experiencing problems on start up. What I am getting is a black screen without a cursor, just after the Toshiba screen disappears, which then allows me to do nothing. I am able to get to the F2 & F12 screens but struggling from there. I have tried changing the boot priority, but nothing works, just the black screen. F8 does not work, it just bleeps at me when I press it.
Help me please, because I am starting to believe there is nothing I can do.

Hp ProBook 4510s is giving me a black screen on trying to boot up.In safe mode it is booting up prorperly. I am not sure what this has been caused by
When Windows Safe Mode starts okay but Normal Mode does not, it's typically caused by installing a bad/incompatible device driver, or by installing software which includes a driver such as:1) CD/DVD burning software.2) Antivirus software3) Firewall softwareSo if you can remember recently installing a driver or any of the type of software listed above just before the problem started, uninstall it in Safe Mode then restart.3 more replies
Hello, I seem to have a problem with windows as it starts up it will get to the desktop, load the icons, and start bar, and then suddenly go black for a few seconds and then proceed as normal. I'm not sure I've noticed it before, and it get's to be quite annoying, as I've never seen it do it before. I have no unusual programs booting up at start up. I think it may be the ATI drivers, but I'm not sure.
Also, sometimes after I let my computer sit after a while, and wake it up, it will just shut itself down, and that REALLY pisses me off. I checked to see if i had it setup to turn my harddrive off after idle, but no, nothing is set to turn off after idle.
Hopefully someone can help me with this, and if anything sounds too vague, please ask me for more information, thanks guys.
It is the Ati drivers.. They blanc the screen for a second right after boot.. I think it started with the .net catalyst control center versions of the drivers...
Your second problem, I am not sure about.. I don't think it is the Ati drivers doing that..

Make sure you buy an extended warranty
By Pilot_Reviewer on Tuesday, July 16, 2019The 5th Honda in our family and 3rd Pilot, and unfortunately our last. Despite great styling, lots of good features (which requires the 'Elite' model), very comfortable ride, and surprisingly good fuel economy, that legendary Japanese reliability has clearly faded. At just over 50K miles the fuel injectors needed replacing - a $1500 repair if we hadn't bought the $1700 extended warranty, and at just over 60K miles the A/C compressor failed (on a boiling hot day while we were out of state of course) which was a $2000 repair without the warranty.

This is a great SUV.
By N H on Sunday, May 06, 2018I purchased a new Pilot EX-L for my wife in Feb. It has 2400 miles on it now. I was a bit reluctant to purchase a Pilot after reading the negative comments - poor engine power, bad handling, bad infotainment system, etc. , from some owners on this site. We also looked at the Edge and Highlander; however my wife wanted the Pilot because it drove and handled more like a car than a truck. And Im really glad she did. At 280 HP, the engine smooth, quiet, and has plenty of power. I also think the handling is quite exceptional for a large SUV. My wife claims the voice command and music off her i phone works great. The Pilot is one of the most comfortable vehicles Ive ridden in and it has loads of room. The only negativeI can find is the power tailgate doesnt fit perfectly. The seam on the left side is almost a 1/16th of an inch wider than the seam on the right side. This is an anomaly because the fit and finish inside and out on the rest of the Pilot is perfect. I highly recommend the Pilot if you are looking for an SUV this size.

Good car, with one exception
By S sq on Saturday, July 06, 2019We have had a couple Hondas over the years and have had nothing but good things to say about them. We bought our 2019 Pilot in the middle of an AZ winter with no need for air conditioning. For the first four months, we enjoyed everything about the car. When things started to heat up, we turned on the a/c and then the random squeaking noises began. We were told that it was an expansion valve issue. We have had the a/c evacuated—that didn't solve it. We then had the valve replaced—I don't know if it is because of the climbing temps, but the noise is more frequent and louder. We are told that we are not the only ones experiencing this annoyance and that Honda has been notified. We have yet to hear of a resolution. Here's to hoping they find a permanent fix soon.

It's time for the Indian Land Fall Festival, celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, and the fifth annual S.C. Championship Chili Cook-off.
Saturday's festival promises to be a lot of fun for everyone from toddlers to teens and older folks, all for a good cause – helping support the Indian Land Rotary Club's local youth projects, including the annual third-grade dictionary project, scholarships, school needs, literacy projects, sports teams and more.
For Lancaster County's 762 graduating seniors, today, May 29, is the day.
Graduates from all four county high schools – Andrew Jackson, Buford, Indian Land and Lancaster, as well as Carolina Christian Academy – will cross stages to receive their diplomas today.
After their respective ceremonies, they'll toss their mortar boards high into the air as they celebrate their graduation with the friends, family, teachers and administrators who helped them along the way.
Everything's set in downtown Lancaster for the kickoff of the city's sixth annual Red Rose Festival tonight. There's just one thing missing – you.
So gather up your family and head down to Lancaster's historic downtown for two days of outdoor concerts, dancing in the streets, arts and crafts, kids activities, a car show, dog show, photo contest, roaming entertainment and more.
A No. 1 ranking is a challenge to attain, and even tougher to keep.
As it turned out, the Lancaster High School Lady Bruins earned their top ranking in early January and kept it the rest of the way for a state crown.
The final record was a brilliant 27-0 mark, capped by the LHS girls' exciting 44-42 win over Lakewood High School of Sumter County.
Lancaster, in its first year of competition in Class AAA, made it most memorable with the school's first state championship in girls basketball since the 1958-59 season.
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, when we should all be grateful for all of life's gifts, big and small.
The annual American holiday, held the fourth Thursday of November, commemorates the Pilgrims' celebration of the good harvest of 1621.
Thanksgiving celebrates the simple treasures of good food and fellowship – conjuring up popular images of family seated around a table, complete with a steaming big bird, mounds of dressing and pumpkin pie.
Registered voters will be able to exercise one of the most precious privileges our democracy grants us – the opportunity to determine who will represent us in our government – on Election Day, Tuesday, Nov. 4.
Voters will help choose our next U.S. senators, U.S. House representatives, S.C. governor and other statewide seats.
Locally, they will help choose school board members, a probate judge, the 6th Circuit solicitor and County Council members. See today's news pages for a list of the races on ballots in Lancaster County.
It's hard to believe summer is nearly over for local schoolchildren. While autumn doesn't officially arrive until next month, on Monday morning, about 12,000 Lancaster County students will say goodbye to the carefree days of summer and return to their classrooms.
This week, school administrators and teachers are making last-minute preparations for the 2014-15 school year. Their planning and preparation welcomed the students back at recent drop-ins and open houses.
Today we don our red, white and blue. We'll wave our flags, fire up the grills, parade down Main streets and country roads to cheering crowds.
We'll shoot fireworks, rally with family and friends and picnic anywhere we can place a blanket. And why not. We're celebrating our 238th birthday.
The United States of America is considered a teenager compared to other countries on Earth.
On Tuesday, June 10, registered voters across the state will be able to exercise one of the most precious privileges democracy grants us – the opportunity to determine who will represent them in their government.
Locally, we'll select a Republican candidate to face the lone Democrat in the 6th Circuit solicitor's race.
The list of hopefuls for the U.S. Senate race will be narrowed. So will the lieutenant governor, adjutant general, agriculture commissioner and state treasurer races.
The June 10 primary is just a few weeks away. Locally, we'll select a Republican candidate to face the lone Democrat in the Sixth Circuit solicitor's race.
The list of hopefuls for the U.S. Senate race will be narrowed. So will the lieutenant governor, adjutant general, agriculture commissioner, state treasurer and S.C. House District 53 races.

What's more, sportier offerings, like metallic polka-dot drawstring shorts and printed bomber jackets, are perfect pieces for the season ahead. See our top three looks below, then click the slideshow to see the complete lookbook.
- From the soft off-white hue to the gold trim embellishment, we can't think of a reason why we shouldn't swap out our regular gray hoodie for this much cooler, dressier option.
- We can't resist this fun red tasseled miniskirt, perfect for Summer cocktails, parties, and so much more.
- We love the idea of pairing this billowy white top with skinny black trousers and point-toe pumps for a breezy work look.

Salesforce and Facebook: Connecting
- Another cloud to connect: There are 110 million active users of Facebook... many of these people also find time to work in between their wall postings. Facebook is an open, on-demand application platform, much like Force.com.
- Further consumerization of enterprise IT: Consumers have become accustomed to using the incredible power of social networks to connect with old friends and family in their personal life. Now, with Salesforce and Facebook together, these same people can use the power of this same social network to get their job done.
- Not just demos: People have talked about bringing the social network to the enterprise every day since "Enterprise 2.0" hit the radar. But today's announcement went further-- we saw real business scenarios with the potential to create enormous value for the enterprise. We are thrilled to be part of all this-- we built the recruiting scenario shown by Marc and Sheryl on stage. This is a preview of an application we think every HR head needs to consider.

Homeschoolers in Uproar About New Restrictive Education Act
The new Education Act in Victoria, if passed, will require parents who educate their children at home to register with state authorities. The Home Education Network is attacking this new act, and has won the support of Liberty Victoria.
The act, which will not be introduced in Parliament for another year, will impose strict regulations on homeschooling. The new act would require the creating of a new body called the Victorian Registration and Qualifications Authority. The body's sole existence will be to grant school registration, set minimum standards for schools, and have the power to cancel registration for homeschooling if parents refuse to allow it to inspect the education program being used.
Liberty Victoria is urging the Government to maintain the current laws, and has expressed specific concern that the proposed changes authorize administrative interference without specifying the nature of it.

Darice unveiled their newest jewelry line at CHA, four collections designed by celebrity Tori Spelling. The Boho and Glam collections are gold based, while the Glitz and Noir collections are silver based. From metallics to southwest flair, animals to rhinestones, there is a lot of detail and variety in this line.
At the Darice booth the display of the four lines was packed with buyers each time I came by, and I heard a lot of talk and excitement about the look of the line as well.
I did have the opportunity at the show to attend the press event for Tori's line and meet her (she was very kind), where she was very enthusiastic about this new venture.
What I like is that this line could simply be pieced together to create custom jewelry, the chains could be worn alone, or you could take some of the smaller pieces and utilize in your own way with other jewelry elements entirely. To share more images of the jewelry collections, I have compiled my photos into a video:
{Styled} is expected to begin shipping to stores this July.

There are a lot of Getting Things Done (GTD) tools out there I can use to manage my tasks. Additionally, most of them include synchronisation capabilities I can use to synchronize my iPad, MacBook etc. There is only one problem: they all use the Amazon Cloud/a Cloud located not in Europe... But I'm only allowed to use a Cloud that is located in Europe (data privacy aspects etc... this is a constraint of my employer). Does anybody know a GTD tool that is hosted on an "European Cloud" or that can be installed on my private cloud?
OmniFocus is able to sync between instances (OS X and iOS)
- locally via Bonjour
- via a shared directory
- via any WebDAV server
I use Things by Cultured Code. It has been fantastic. It syncs with all my iOS devices. I believe they are based Germany, so you may be in luck with your cloud requirements.
I asked, they use globally distributed servers – strauberry Jan 15 '13 at 9:10
Things Cloud Sync runs on Google App Engine, if that helps anybody. – Kevin Chen Jan 17 '13 at 9:43
Appigo's ToDo and ToodleDo both have the GTD structure built into the core. the UX for ToDo is much better than ToodleDo. Price is competitive as well.
6wunderkinder's Wunderlist is a great GTD tool with synchronization across all major platforms (web, ios, android, mac, pc). The team itself is based in Berlin, though I'm not sure if that meets your cloud requirement.
I would recommend checking out http://www.Gtdagenda.com for an online GTD manager.
You can use it to manage your goals, projects and tasks, set next actions and contexts, use checklists, and a calendar. Syncs with Evernote, and also comes with mobile-web version, and Android and iPhone apps.
2Given that the asker was looking for a Europe-based cloud solution it would be good to know where you store the data. – nohillside♦ Feb 4 '13 at 10:09
If you're using Lion or later, the Reminders app that comes with the OS is pretty good and it auto syncs with your iOS devices.

The 44th president will assume office with powers greatly enlarged by his or her predecessor. Drawing on recent precedents, the next president could launch preemptive wars with only minor interference from Congress, ignore the ancient right of habeas corpus and imprison political enemies, spy on American citizens without serious legal restraint, use practically any federal agency for political purposes, manipulate the press in ways inconceivable prior to 2000, corrupt the federal justice system for political gain, destroy evidence in criminal cases, use the Justice Department to prosecute members of the opposing party, offer lucrative no-bid government contracts to friends, expand the creation of private security armies, use torture, create secret prisons, assassinate inconvenient foreign leaders, circumvent laws with signing statements, and a great deal more. Such things are now possible because the system of checks and balances carefully written into the Constitution and explained in great detail in the Federalist Papers were weakened as a result of historical circumstances of the 20th century, but systematically and with great forethought by the administration of George W. Bush.
Said to be necessary in order to protect the country from terrorism, the expansion of presidential authority in truth was carried out by neo-conservatives who in the smoke and ashes of 9-11 smelled opportunity. The result is James Madison's worst nightmare: the unification of once carefully separated powers of governance -- executive, judicial, legislative -- in the hands of a single faction along with substantial control over the press, radio, and television and an extensive police and surveillance apparatus he would have loathed.
The surreptitious and perhaps fraudulent manner by which presidential powers were recently expanded has greatly diminished trust and respect for the office at home and abroad. But unless explicitly repudiated by the next president and prohibited by law, the precedents of the Bush presidency will stand. The expanded powers of one president typically are carefully guarded by their successors. Republican or Democrat the next president will be advised to distance the office from the more controversial actions of George W. Bush, but only as a matter of expediency, not for reasons inherent in the Constitution or the law. If so, we will have crossed the line into executive tyranny.
Acquiescence in the unlawful enlargement of presidential power is neither right nor necessary. The next president would be well advised to support the appointment of a special prosecutor to thoroughly investigate the possible illegalities involved in the recent expansion of presidential power not to exact political revenge, but as the first step toward recalibrating the presidency to the Constitution. Second, he or she should appoint a Blue Ribbon panel of experts in Constitutional Law and the presidency to make recommendations to Congress about the restoration of the office.

Independent News and Views Putting People Over Profit
Many will disagree, saying that learning the truth would be unnecessarily divisive and a waste of time in the face of more pressing business. To the contrary, we the people, Republicans, Democrats, and independents alike, will need to know the truth in order to reestablish the rule of law in the highest levels of government and restore trust, credibility, and respect for the office of the president now tarnished by the systematic abuse of power and excessive secrecy. Otherwise, we invite worse abuses of power in difficult times ahead.
A restored presidency is a prerequisite to successfully meet the challenges of the emergencies posed by climate change, the end of cheap oil, and the effort to build a sustainable global civilization. In coming decades a great deal will be required of the American people. If we are to respond with renewed patriotism and vigor we will need to know that we are being told the truth and that we are being led by a president who is both enabled and constrained by the law.
