Hi
This seems to be serious problem. Please share the exact error message. If there are any external devices connected to the system please remove and then try to boot the system again.
Also post the brand and model of your laptop so that we can be more specific in terms of the steps.

Thank you

How do I restore my computer using the eRecovery Management program outside of Windows? How do I restore my computer using the eRecovery Management program outside of Windows?
Select models, with Microsoft Windows, have the ability to have the Operating System reinstalled from a hidden partition built into the computer.
Note: During the process, all data stored on your computer will be overwritten. This means all your files, such as email and photos, will be erased. Therefore, we recommend making a backup of all personal data before starting the recovery process.

Error 0xc00000e9, and vista no genuine?

That has happened because the files that have been used for the Themes are NOT Microsoft files. Also they are not Digitally Signed as "good" by MS either. This is not really a fault just an indication. What I would do is do a system restore back to a time when PC was A OK.
Startup PC, press F8 at instant of turn on... choose Safe Mode. when you are asked if you want safe desktop or system restore choose restore, when you get to the restore menu, choose a date BEFORE you had problems, in any event, there may only be one or two to choose from. Just follow the instructions and you should be back to working with all that behind you.

When i try to boot my toshiba it goes to a windows error recovery screen.. it has two options fixed problems and start windows normally... neither ones work... and i can't even boot from the windows disc....

Hello and thank you for using Fixya's services.

The only option here is to restore your computer to factory settings. You will lose all of your information including pictures, music, etc.

Are you running Windows Vista? If so, turn the computer on, press F4, choose advanced and you will see the option to do a factory restore. You can aslo try the other options first such as windows restore and it may fix the file.

Last resort is the factory restore but you are at that point.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Error: 0xC004D401 an unauthorized change was made to windows The security processor reported a system file mismatch error.

I suspect a program or driver for a hardware device was just installed prior to this error. Best thing to do is to use Windows Restore and use a restore point dated before the first occurance of the error. You may need to repeat this process choosing previous restore points until system is back to normal or you have run out of restore points.
Here's how:
Startup computer and go into safe mode (Press F5 key as computer is starting up but before you see the Windows logo screen).
Open your Windows Vista Start menu, select All Programs, select System Tools, and then choose System Restore.
Use the System Restore Wizard to choose a restore point/date that was created before the error started occurring on your Windows Vista computer.
Revert your system configuration to this same restore point.

If error still occurs and you had other restore points, you can repeat process with older restore points.

If you have gone back several points and still cannot, you may have not choice but to do a full Windows restore. This can result in a loss of data.

If you get to this point, re-post here for instructs on how to possibly save data before doing a full restore.

Pc restarts automatically and unexpectedly

Good Evening Sunnyseber :


Hope that you are wellJ
You did not indicate the type of Operating System.
This document pertains to HP and Compaq computers with Windows Vista. If Windows Vista suddenly starts without warning, or restarts when you try to shut it down, it may be because your operating system is set to automatically restart when certain system errors occur. This feature of the Windows Vista operating system can be disabled. Use the information below to disable the Automatically Restart option. NOTE: In addition to the steps in this article, updating video card drivers is known to resolve many of the problems that can cause the computer to restart. Step 1: Disabling Automatically restart option to view error messages You can prevent the computer from restarting by turning off the Automatically Restart option:
  1. Click Start c00971562.gif .
  2. Right-click Computer , and click Properties
  3. Click Advanced system settings .
  4. Click the Advanced tab and select Settings in the Startup and Recovery section.
  5. Remove the check mark next to Automatically restart under System Failure .
  6. Click OK to close the Startup and Recovery window and click OK , again, and then close the System Properties window.
  7. Restart the computer. NOTE: The computer will no longer restart automatically when a problem occurs. Instead a blue screen appears with more useful information. You can now search for a resolution using the text from the error.


If I can be of further assistance, please let me know.

And, remember, always include the type of Operating System and the type of computer you own, when you submit your questions. It simply makes for much faster solutions.

Have a wonderful evening.
