Recommended Posts

Can anyone recommend a good shop where I could bring my computer which need to be fixed. I think there might be problem with Windows 7 , I can turn on my PC but Windows doesn't open. I don't know much about computers so I really need someone who could explain what's wrong with it and how much would cost to fix it.

Thank u for any advice!

Call Pawel at UK Computers. He just fixed my laptop connection problems and was talking about Windows 7 for which Microsoft will stop supporting it next April. 020 3086 7882 www.UKComputers.eu


Edited to say, in all my happiness I wrote it wrong above: indeed, as below, it is Windows XP that's doooomed.

Thanks below for the updates!

After April 8, 2014, technical assistance for Windows XP will no longer be available, including automatic updates that help protect your PC. If you continue to use Windows XP, your computer might become more vulnerable to security risks and viruses.

Windows 7 should not be affected..

Hi maela..


As a start... Try This.


If you have the bottom bar showing..


Left Click the 'Start' Button.


In the SearchBox type explorer.exe


In the area above explorer.exe should appear


Right Click explorer.exe


Windows Should open and show your desktop.


After that close down your PC and check that Windows Opens when you switch back on.

I don't understand some solutions offered in all pc fix threads...


In this case there is only 3 options



1 recover crashed windows with recovery disc


2 backup hard drive content and reinstall windows


3 replace faulty drive and reinstall windows ( if its a hard drive fault)


And THERE IS NO OTHER OPTION



Thank you

Maela may of meant Windows Explorer which displays the desktop

It is a common result of virus attack where explorer.exe is substituted for another program in the registry.


HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / Software / Microsoft /WindowsNT / CurrentVersion / Winlogon / Shell / explorer.exe


If that KEY is missing or altered Windows will not open correctly.


You was criticising Netquest the other day.


Gino, you really are a buffoon. You have very little idea what you are talking about.


I see you ad was removed. You failed to follow the rules here. Trading address required.

She might have not mean that

Cos if she meant to say windows exlorer she would have said it

Would she



What I understand from it is that computer boots up

Yet windows as it operating system doesn't come on


Cos that's what normal human would hhave said it


Only people who knows some things about inside of the computers or operating systems would have said it as you did



So no disrespect for you


But as she explained the problem she looks like she use computers not learning about them


Have you thought about it


Maybe she have deleted by mistake some files from boot order menu or other windows component and it just need to be loaded back up and that's it


I can suggest you ask her if she meant what she wrote or she thought about more techie stuff as you did

Respect

Will it (ie Windows) start up in Safe Mode, or is that yet another "stupid" suggestion on which gino1 will rudely jump?


If so, could you then do a system restore from safe mode?


gino1, I certainly wouldn't want to take anything to you for repair judging by your attitude on this forum :(

    • That's a disgusting slur against an innocent driver who was probably just on their way to drop off freshly-baked muffins at an orphanage when they had to swerve out of the way of a so-called "cyclist", and anyway traffic lights are just a Marxist conspiracy by Southwark Council to slow traffic down and force people out of cars, so we're all better off without it.
    • Frothy coffee? Not really my bag. A double espresso and a Marlboro Red? It's the breakfast of champions. The only dark drink with a creamy head which should ever be drunk by a man of my age is Guinness. I've also become lactose intolerant recently, meaning I get very impatient around milk. You make a fair point, but those legal channels are available for them to recover their repair, and legal, costs and, as I said: "It's up to them if they [Southwark] want to do that, of course." There's three or four grands worth of Cat N write-off, wrapped round a post there (more, if it's broken down for parts) causing problems. If they can't be arsed sorting that, I'm not holding my breath. Even Southwark couldn't screw their numbers up enough to make shifting the post back through circa 15 degrees more than a couple of grand, so there's a drink in it for everyone. It's a bit 'leany' just now, yeah, but I haven't noticed anyone having to limbo under it to get to Superdrugs. Or, they could make a feature of it. Pisa has made a fortune out of not sorting the underpinnings of their tower. Let's say it's an installation by someone called, I don't know, Bangsy, and it's a physical reminder that SE22 cannot deny its proximity to Peckham, Camberwell & Brixton. It's about the only thing that would get me back into The Bishop since the many dark afternoons of the soul I spent with Clarence*, the world's most depressed Weimaraner. *RIP big fella.

You know exactly where the Green Cross Code Man was in 1973: less than a hundred yards away, on North Cross Road. https://youtu.be/C-XwVVMiCO4?si=rt8kQllev0t1Lgdi For some years, I found it quite difficult to go into The Forrester's after many long afternoons of the soul with Dave Prowse* (The Green Cross Code Man). *RIP big fella. You were always a great listener.  
    • Loving the arm chair speculation on here  Blimey how long before this gets spun out to be a drug dealer welding a sawn off whilst driving away from a smash and grab at the coop cash machine flipped his car and landed on a bollard type post  Where's the green cross code man when you need him ?
