As described above, I have the following problem. My relatively old laptop (Toshiba from 2005) does not boot up anymore, whenever I want to start it comes the Windows menu where I can choose either 'Start Normal' or 'Start with Startup Repair' (both will not work). When I click on the first one, it restarts to a certain point, then everything stays black and hangs completely. Second, the system startup repair (now 3 hours!) Looks for errors and never finds anything and restarts. Meanwhile, we have several times through (which was also in the window displayed) and he hangs up completely with black screen again. My biggest problem is that I have a specific tax declaration program on my laptop that only works on this device.
Is there a way to let the laptop reperieren, or any tricks? Or would it be better to buy a new one?
The computer had never been a big problem in his life and viruses or the like. I'm not aware of that, since it was recently cleaned.
Since your laptop is already quite old, I suspect the following:
The battery (not the battery!) Of your board (motherboard), which is responsible for "remembering" bios settings and system date, is empty.
If the system now notices that the date does not match when it boots up, it blocks.
Windows 7 and Windows 10 are very sensitive.
Next time you are in the menu, select the advanced boot options and select "Safe Mode".
Then you should first enter the system.
Have the button cell (battery) changed at a PC specialist. After that should remember the settings work.
As a second step you have to set the bios and once the date correctly.
The whole thing is but consuming. Put someone who knows PCs well.
I would rebuild the laptop.
For making an installation DVD from here: https://winfuture.de/...,2662.html download the Win7 Home with Sp1 ISO file * and burn it with a suitable program, such as CDBurnerXP, as ISO on a DVD.
*) better because of the age of the laptop the 32 bit edition.
