Always start with FAILURE in Windows safe MODE

Hi guys,.

My computer still starts in safe mode. I tried pressing F8 before the logo appears and select START WINDOWS NORMALLY, but he's still in safe MODE. I can not use certain features and can not install updates. Help, please.

Hi sgs1973,

Check the System Configuration to make sure that your computer is not configured so that it starts in Mode without failure.  To do this, try the following steps:

1. click on Start.

2. type msconfig. (This will bring up the System Configuration window.)

3. go to the Startup tab.

4. If selected, remove the ICT start-up secure.

5. click apply and then OK.

6. restart your computer.

    attrib - shr boot.ini (remove the system, hidden, and only the read attributes)
    Boot.ini.bak ren boot.ini (rename the boot.ini afflicted)

    Remove the CD and restart your drive HARD and XP will complain about the missing boot.ini, but have yet to start.

    In Explorer, navigate to your C:\ folder and rename the file boot.ini.bak boot.ini (this is so msconfig will be able to find it).

    Run the msconfig and remove the afflictions like / SafeBoot and save changes, etc.  (you don't have to restart if you do not want).

    If you wish, you can change the boot.ini to hand, but not everyone is comfortable to do this.

    How to create a bootable CD from the Console of the Recovery XP (no XP media required):

    If you have no XP bootable media (or aren't sure you have) create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console and don't forget (no support for XP not necessary).

    This is not the same as recovery disks that might have come with the acquisition of the system store.

    You can make a bootable Recovery Console CD by downloading an ISO file and burn it to a CD.

    The ISO bootable image file you need to download is called:

    xp_rec_con. ISO

    Download the ISO from here:

    Use a new CD and this simple and free program to burn your ISO file and create your bootable CD (do not install UniBlue or the Ask Toolbar - never!):

    It would be a good idea to test your bootable CD on a computer running.

    You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD-ROM drive as the first device to boot instead of the hard drive.  These adjustments are made before Windows tries to load.  If you miss it, you will need to restart the system again.

    When you start on the CD, follow the instructions:

    Press any key to boot from CD...

    Installing Windows... going to pronounce.

    Press 'R' to enter the Recovery Console.

    Select the installation that you want to access (usually 1: C:\WINDOWS)

    You may be asked to enter the password (usually empty).

    You should be in the folder C:\WINDOWS.  It's the same as the

    C:\Windows folder that you see in Solution Explorer.

    The Recovery Console allows base as file commands: copy, rename, replace, delete, chkdsk, fixboot, fixmbr, cd, etc.

  • How to start thunderbird in windows safe mode

    I'm having a little trouble with Windows and until I can solve the problem, I'm running without FAILURE of WINDOWS mode. Not to be confused with the mode of Thunderbird safe. Of the "mozilla thunderbird program," I clicked on Thunderbird. exe. It opened very well but it did not open my accounts as it normally does. He wanted to create a new account instead. That won't help me because I want to retrieve my emails on the server. I looked into the Application data, but I don't see anything I thought would help. I jumped to new account and went to "use my existing email. I wasn't sure of my settings, but I guessed correctly. TB found the account on the server, but it does not fill the account with the mails, I already have. Anxious to retrieve my mail before the server has started to remove them, I clicked on make messages. It's only then that I wondered what happened to the old post office that was already in my Inbox. I hope that TB does not erase it without telling me.

    You can just copy the old profile back on the news; If it is appropriate depends on if you have new things in the profile later that you cannot afford to lose.

    If you need old fusion in again, I would use the ImportExportTools add-on to selectively import box files useful to the old profile mailbox in local folders in the new.

  • Satellite A45-S150 starts windows - safe mode is not possible

    My machine locked upward and when restarted, that asked me to make a selection among several options. Safe mode, safe mode network, prompt mode without failure, recent well known parameters and then just windows. It starts windows in these modes. Any help would be appreciated.

    Brad

    What to say Brad. It seems the full Windows XP operating system has crashed!
    Believe me, something like what is happening simply and I think that it s nothing unusual to anyone who use and works with Windows OS for a long time.

    You should definitely try to reinstall the OS from the Toshiba restore CD.
    But this procedure will format your HARD drive and you will lose all files stored on the HARD drive.

    But this is only one possibility to get Windows running on this laptop.

    Check it out buddy!

  • Satellite A660 will not start again until I turn safe mode

    Just buy the toshiba Satellite A660: I tell the story to compensate closely in my answer, I hope...

    I just buy new, run the Setup for first use. When its up and running only in that day, that I noticed it start to hang up when I plugged the drive external hard for some Installer (adobe lightroom).

    Its still very well, but when I disable it, it does not start again until I have run in safe mode so I can save some files and rerun recovery.

    This time on 64-bit. With its completion of its process, this works well for a few hours.
    He fell faster now, maybe because its on 64-bit? (any recommendation if its 32 or 64 bit) specifications: i5, 4ram, 1 g ddcatd graphics, family win7 premium,...

    Now when I turn it off it never early return time windows say... Startup Repair. ..
    I have let it run from this morning till now they can't always find what's the problem (I'm refernce the loptop).

    So no idea about whats goin?

    > He fell faster now, maybe because its on 64-bit? (any recommendation if its 32 or 64 bit) specifications: i5, 4ram, 1 g ddcatd graphics, family win7 premium,...

    64-bit operating system is better if your computer supports 4 GB or more of RAM.
    Why? Because 32-bit Win recognizes max 3.2 GB, even if more RAM is available.
    It's limitation of 32-bit; regardless of what OS it is; Linux, Win XP, Vista, Win7, etc.
    This is the reason why the 64 bit OS are so popular in the last time

He likes to lose power. It only works in safe mode. Installation of Windows 7, 8 CD cannot start (stop as above).

    All ideal for my problem?

    P/S: sorry for my English

    At this point no matter what the problem he is going to need repair. If it happens with more of an OS which pretty much eliminates the possibility of a software problem. I would still say that it is probably overheating, or there is a problem with your graphics card. However, you will need to speak with Acer on this one.

  • Starts with 'my computer' window of my office and no taskbar

    I bought my laptop (hp g60-235dx) a few months ago and it came with vista family premium and a trial of norton antivirus.  Norton kept asking me to install an update and restart my computer and I kept asking him to remind me later.  I finally agreed to install the update and after restarting my computer and logging into my account, I have no taskbar and instead of the regular office with all my icons, I had the version of "my computer" open as a window office.  I tried to restart immediately after and got the same result.  I rebooted in safe mode, tried to restore windows to a checkpoint before the update was installed and ran the Norton uninstall tool.  I can always change my background via the control panel but cannot access options in the bar of tasks or desktop at all.

  • I've updated to Firefox 36 automatically, however, it does not start. I tried firefox safe mode, reinstall, uninstall avg antivirus, eks.

    The computer restarts during the night to install updates. Everything was fine, but now Firefox, which has been updated to version 36, will not launch. Basically, I double click on it, I get a little access to the disk and nothing. I tried to start firefox safe mode. Same thing is happening. I uninstalled by deleting any Mozilla Firefox files, programs and relocation. Still will not start. I uninstalled the old version of AVG. Still will not start. I have Microsoft Security Essentials running and have updated. Still will not start. I need new ideas.

    I just want to confirm a step that you took. When you say you deleted the program files Firefox content, this may have taken all the Firefox of the components off of your computer.

    The steps that you must follow to remove a potentially corrupted installation of firefox are:

    Open your Start menu, select "program files." In program files, select "Programs and features", this should open your window "uninstall or change a program". In this window, locate your program "Mozilla Firefox". Select the program with a left click then "Uninstall", which will appear once the program is highlighted.

    This process will remove the registry changes that can ask questions. After you completely uninstall firefox from your programs, perform a new installation of the latest version of the browser.

    If you have already completed this process without success, so there may be other problems with your windows updates, it's not uncommon. If you have problems after a new installation of Firefox, after following the instructions above, please check if your browser "Internet Explorer" is to have the same questions, if yes, then you may have problems more serious that will require new measures.

    If you don't have a user.js file, as I did not, then you can find this information in your profile folder prefs.js. To find this folder, click menu triple horizontal slash on Firefox button, then click the question mark at the bottom, then click "Troubleshooting information" and then click on "View file" next to the profile folder. At this point, you need to open the js file (prefs.js to me, maybe user.js for others) with Notepad.

    The entry "accessibility.typeaheadfind.casesensitive" cor - el mentioned above must be just off the top, and if "Match case" is highlighted then it should have a '1' beside him. You will need to close Firefox, then change 1 to 0 and save. When you restart Firefox "Case-sensitive" must return to being disabled.

  • I can only connect to Windows safe mode. I get a blank screen otherwise

    Original title: I can only connect to my computer in safe mode. Start windows normally my screen begins to blink on the logon to the black screen. What should I do?

    I was told it had something to do with internet explorer and that I need to update my windows, but my computer won't let me.

    Safe mode is a number of things.  First, he starts using the clean boot programs needed to operate.  Second, he began to use a screen resolution 'safe' which is supported by all monitors (usually 640 x 480).  Your problem may be due to your video card being assigned to a resolution that your monitor does not support or does not reach.  If it is a recent development, the fastest solution may be to perform a system restore to a time before you had this problem.  You can do safe mode.

    Another suggestion is that, after the safe boot mode, change the display resolution (right click Desktop-> properties-> settings tab).
