Your implication is that I haven't tried some of these "fixes" but I have and my problems remain. I will keep at it...just aggravated that this problem "suddenly" started up. I do appreciate all your help, trust me. I will keep you posted.
Still working on this... Right now I am showing that a USB device is not working properly but everything item I use (printer, scanner, mouse, keyboard, etc.) is okay? Would this too have something to do with Win 7 not starting? I have looked at the USB port with the mark and there's no indication of what that the item might be?
i was having this issue with my pc.. sounds like a virus to me. took several anti virus to be ran before it was cleared out, and took 3 weeks to finally get enough help with the problem. if you can get into safe mode with networking.. get avast and do a boot scan.. this will find all the viruses before windows loads and gives them a chance to start messing with your system..
Can you post a screen print of Device Manager showing the device with an error?
Screenshots and Files - Upload and Post in Seven Forums
In Device Manager
- Expand the group where you see an error
- Right click on the error device and click Properties
- On the Detail tab select Hardware Ids
Here is an example screen print showing this:
You aren't going to believe this, but I fixed the USB problem, and now have a different one. Each morning I wait to see what will happen when my PC starts up....not a fun time....
This morning it looked like it was going to start okay and I even got to the sign in screen. But when I typed in my password I received the following message:
C:\windows\sys32\config\system profile\refers to a location that is unavailable. It could be on a hard drive on this computer or on a network. Check to make sure that the disk is properly inserted or that you are connected to the internet or your network and then try again. If it still cannot be located the information might have been moved to a different location
I shut down my PC, and started again. This time it opened but ever so slowly.... Needless to say I am so tired of having to deal with these startup problems. Seems the error messages keep changing too. I seem to fix one and another pops up...all startup related. FYI I have run Malwarebytes, Spybot, and I have Norton 360 installed. When I run the malware programs they always find "small" things (cookies, pups, etc) that are repairable.
I am sorry to be such a pain posting here, but I have nowhere to go to find a fix and you folks have been generous in your recommendations and suggestions. I appreciate it. If you have any idea of how to fix this current problem or just what might be causing the entire startup dilemma I would appreciate hearing from you. I am not a PC guru, but willing to give anything a try.
if you have a restore point dated before your problems began you may get this fixed via a System Restore.
I tried two apparent restore points but it didn't help. Thanks...
have you ran avast boot scan yet?
