If you do a new, clean install of Vista in 2018, one would be missing hundreds of updates from Microsoft that would be very hard if not impossible to get. Some of those updates might apply to software that you want to use in conjunction with Windows Vista. And if it is an older PC, you might not be able to find driver support for the particular make/model, and Vista might not have the drivers you need. How many times have you heard someone say, "I just reinstalled Vista, but now I am missing drivers?"
This could be part of your trouble, because even if your Vista updated all the way up to April 2017, you could still be missing Acer updates provided by Acer/Microsoft through Windows Update.
Since Microsoft has not supported Vista since April 2017, I would recommend not using it anymore in 2018.
Windows 10's native installation makes you sign in while the computer is booting up. This is a waste of time. In order to stop the requested sign in, press the and the key at the same time. You will see the run window pop up in the lower left corner of your screen. Type . Another little screen will appear. In the upper right half of the screen there is a check box that says "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer." Click on that box to remove the check mark. Click OK or Apply on the bottom, and reboot. It should not ask you for it again.

you will see a windows update line , click on that and a panel will open up
on the left panel you will see a change settings line click on that nad click start updates or put in the times that you want updates to happen--it is most probably turned off
The problem is not the fix, the problem is finding out which problem of many possibilities is causing the the black screen.
This requires some troubleshooting.
I assume you are using a PC.
The first step is to turn on the monitor first.
Make sure the power on indicator LED on the monitor comes on.
Then boot the PC. Make sure the CPU fan comes on inside the PC.
(If you are running a laptop and the screen is always black, it is usually the flexible cable joining the screen to the main body has broken. A hardware problem)
Does anything show up on the screen?
If no, check the CPU cooler inside the PC.
If it is plugged up with dust and lint, you may have a burned out CPU that will have to be replaced. (A lack of cooling air causes the CPU to overheat and fail when the safety does not work. A common problem.)
If yes, get a Linux boot CDROM/DVD, boot on the Linux CDROM/DVD, and follow the instructions to run CLAM antivirus under Linux.
When the screen goes black during boot, and stays black, the problem is usually a "Root Kit" virus.
You can not remove these viruses with a normal Windows antivirus program. They are too deeply embedded in the system.
This is the start of the troubleshooting procedure.
You really need somebody "on-site" to troubleshoot a problem that is this complex.
you can't the system resources on the xp pc required to run xp are a lot less than what is needed to run windows vista.
how much ram and how much disk space !
it says 512 Mb ram but it will run like a snail
15 Gig of free hard disk space and a 20 Gig hard drive

DO you have an upgrade copy of Vista ?
I'm only going to show those interested how to run chkdsk (check disk) and fix errors, there are other commands mostly you'll just want to run this command. Click the Start button in the Search box, type command prompt in the list of results, right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator.In the command prompt, type in the following command chkdsk C: /F . Only type what is in bold, what this is going to do is check the drive for error and fix those errors. If the drive isn't locked it will bring up a message asking to scan the drive on the next restart click yes, if the drive is locked it will start scanning automatically. This depending on how large your hard drive is can take some time or not, be patient because this usually always fixes issues people are having that call me, other times I have to look at their PCs. Hope this helps you out.
All drivers for Windows 8 are available on the Microsoft website. Since Windows 7 all drivers need certification, from Microsoft and then you can download them there. All other drivers offered via other sites, could still work fine on older operating systems, but not on Windows 7 or 8.x. So older hardware can't be installed, unless you get certified drivers form Microsoft.
No, you get your apps for a windows phone from windows store. I have a nokia 710 and am happier with android...but too late to exchange it.

Digital video input no signal,on a monitor usually indicates that the video cable is not supplying a signal.Could be a faulty cable, or a bad connection from computer or the monitor...or a bad display driver / faulty video card.check connections ,try with different cable and monitor.
