Windows 7 won't boot, start up repair doesn't work. Xzero1134 Sep 21, 2012, 12:04 AM. Hello, I've had an ongoing war with my PC for four days now. I have Windows 7 and it refuses to start up. If it doesn’t, you can start the installer directly from your Downloads folder. After downloading Flash Player, close all browsers. Locate the Flash Player install file. Unless you have specified otherwise, the file is saved in your Downloads folder. Double-click the installer file to begin the Flash Player installation.

The Startup Repair tool repairs Windows 7 by replacing important operating system files that might be damaged or missing. Startup Repair is an easy diagnostic and repair tool to use when Windows 7 fails to start properly.
The Windows 7 repair tool is available from the Windows 7 DVD, so you must have a physical copy of the operating system in order for this to work. If you don't, you can always create a Windows 7 System Repair Disc.
Not using Windows 7? Every modern Windows operating system has a similar operating system file repair process.
To begin the Windows 7 Startup Repair process, you'll need to boot from the Windows 7 DVD.
If you want the Startup Repair to work properly, you must remove any flash drives or other USB storage devices, like external hard drives, from your computer before continuing. Due to the way some computers report the storage space on USB connected drives, the Windows 7 Startup Repair may incorrectly report that it found no problems when in fact there may actually be an issue.
No user intervention is required here. Just wait for the Windows 7 setup process to load files in preparation for whatever task you might want to complete.
In our case, it's a Startup Repair, but there are lots of tasks that could be completed with the Windows 7 DVD.
No changes are being made to your computer during this step. Windows 7 is only temporarily 'loading files.'
Choose the Language to install, Time and currency format, and Keyboard or input method that you'd like to use in Windows 7.
Click Repair your computer on the bottom-left of the Install Windows window.
This will begin the Windows 7 System Recovery Options which contains several useful diagnostic and repair tools, one of which is Startup Repair.
Do not click Install now. If you already have Windows 7 installed, this option is used to perform a Clean Install of Windows 7 or a Parallel Install of Windows 7.
System Recovery Options, the set of tools that contains Startup Repair, will now search your hard drive(s) for any Windows 7 installations.
You don't need to do anything here but wait. This Windows installation search shouldn't take more than a few minutes at most.
Choose the Windows 7 installation that you'd like to perform the Startup Repair on.
Don't worry if the drive letter in the Location column does not match the drive letter that you know Windows 7 is installed on in your PC. Drive letters are somewhat dynamic, especially when using diagnostic tools like System Recovery Options.
For example, as you can see above, this Windows 7 installation is listed as being on drive D: when it's actually the C: drive when Windows 7 is running.
Click Startup Repair from the list of recovery tools in System Recovery Options.
As you can see, several other diagnostic and recovery tools are available in the Windows 7 System Recovery Options including System Restore, System Image Recovery, Windows Memory Diagnostic, and Command Prompt.
In this guide, however, we're only repairing operating system files using the Startup Repair tool.
The Startup Repair tool will now search for problems with files that are important to the proper functioning of Windows 7.
If the Windows 7 repair tool finds a problem with an important operating system file, the tool might suggest a solution of some kind that you have to confirm, or it might solve the problem automatically.
Whatever happens, follow the prompts as necessary and accept any changes suggested by Startup Repair.
Startup Repair will now attempt to repair whatever problems it found with Windows 7 files. No user intervention is required during this step.
Your computer may or may not restart several times during this repair process. Do not boot from the Windows 7 DVD on any restart. If you do, you'll need to restart the computer immediately so the Startup Repair process can continue normally.
You won't see this step if Startup Repair didn't find any problems with Windows 7.
Click Finish once you see the Restart your computer to complete the repairs window to restart your PC and start Windows 7 normally.
It's possible that Startup Repair didn't fix whatever problem you were having. If the Startup Repair tool determines this itself, it might automatically run again after your computer restarts. If it doesn't automatically run but you're still seeing problems with Windows 7, repeat these steps to run Startup Repair again manually.
Also, be sure to read the Important note on Step 1.
If it becomes apparent that Startup Repair is not going to solve your Windows 7 problem, you do have some additional recovery options including a System Restore or a System Image Recovery, assuming you have previously backed up your entire computer.
You could also try a Parallel Install of Windows 7 or a Clean Install of Windows 7.
However, if you've tried a Startup Repair of Windows 7 as part of another troubleshooting guide, you're probably best served by continuing with whatever specific advice that guide is giving as your next step.
Is your Windows 10/8/7 computer displaying the wrong Time in the Taskbar? If it is this, then this post gives you some tips on how to fix the problem and make Windows 10 display the correct system time in the Taskbar.
Sometimes Windows Time can act strangely! The Windows Time Service may just stop working or Time Synchronization may fail. There have also been cases when the Windows System Time may jump backward!
If your Windows 10 Time is wrong, to fix the issue you will have to see which of the following helps you:
Before we start troubleshooting this issue, it would be a good idea to run the System File Checker. To do so, you have to type sfc /scannow in an elevated CMD and hit Enter. Wait for a while and when the job is completed, restart your Windows computer. Once you have done this, we can move forward to try to troubleshoot the issue.
From the WinX Menu, open Settings > Time & Language > Date & Time.
Here you have to ensure that Set time automatically and Set time zone automatically are ‘On’. See if this works for you.
If it does no help, change Set time automatically to ‘Off’ and then click on the Change button to set the time manually. The following panel will open where you can make the necessary changes.
If this does not help, change Set time zone automatically to ‘Off’ and then from the drop-down menu, set your time zone manually.
So you will have to see if playing around with any of these changes is able to help you.
If this does not help, read on.
To do so, type services.msc in Start Search and hit Enter. In Services Manager, navigate to Windows Time service and double-click on it.
Check and see if the Service Status is Started and Startup type set on Automatic. You may click on the Start button to start the service.Do the needful, click on Apply/OK and exit.
To manually sync and update your system time with an Internet Time server like time.windows,com, you have to right-click on the Time in the taskbar > Adjust Time & date > Internet Time tab > Change Settings > Update now.
If you wish, you may change the Time Server from time.windows.com from any other time server of your choice.
You can also configure the Windows Time service to use an internal hardware clock or an external time source. Microsoft Support offers Fix It downloads that let you do this automatically with a click.
You may want to re-register a dll file. The concerned dll file here is w3time.dll. To do so, open a command prompt as an Administrator, type the following and hit Enter:
If this does not help, you should try and re-register the Windows Time exe process.
The Windows Time Service or W32Time.exe maintains date and time synchronization on all clients and servers in the network. If this service is stopped, date and time synchronization will be unavailable. If this service is disabled, any services that explicitly depend on it will fail to start.
The Windows Time file or W32tm.exe, located in the System32 folder, is used to configure Windows Time service settings. It can also be used to diagnose problems with the time service. W32tm.exe is the preferred command line tool for configuring, monitoring, or troubleshooting the Windows Time service.
You will have to use the /register parameter. This parameter, when run for W32tm.exe, registers the time service to run as a service and adds the default configuration to the registry.

To do so, in an elevated command prompt, type these commands one after the other and hit Enter:
You can also force Windows to sync Time using W32tm.exe. W32tm.exe is a command prompt line used to configure, monitor or troubleshoot the Windows Time Service in Windows 10 PC.
To do this, open an elevated command prompt and type the following commands one after the other:
Reboot your computer and see if it has helped.
If nothing helps, check and replace your CMOS battery if it has been drained.
I am sure that something here will help you. If nothing works, make use of some free Time synchronization software.
Once the time is being displayed correctly, you may want to check the accuracy of your System Clock.
