Applications does not work - diagnose in safe mode?

Something has caused several requests to stop running on my system (Vista SP2). I tried several things that didn't work and I was wondering if and how I can use the safe mode to diagnose what is wrong.

Context: I still have my antivirus McAfee and Windows Update to update. The system has been analyzed the day before the problem occurred. I had not loaded any software before the problems or done anything I can think it was unusual.

First noticed that IE8 would not charge after normal start, although the Task Manager shows as a work process. Include other programs that also would not go: Google Earth, Windows Mail, Windows Defender & Spotify. (Even once, they appeared as "process" in the Task Manager).

Firefox showed plugins updated, including Adobe Flash. Tried to date, but all downloads now cause Firefox to crash. Uninstalled Flash and I tried to reinstall manually but the downloaded file application wouldn't start.

McAfee - who don't answer not normally - would also not re - install when I removed and tried to re-setup.

I tried other things:

  • msconig to disable startup items
  • used menu "Add/Remove Programs" to ensure that no unwanted programs have been installed.
  • restored the system to a previous point
  • reluctantly, "improved" to IE9
  • downloaded and run Malwarebytes (which took a few pieces of waste)
  • downloaded and running Microsoft Security Essentials, and so I have a protection running.

None of this had no effect at all on the ability to run programs running normally.
I would be grateful for suggestions.

David F answered now effectively the problem (via the other thread) by suggesting that I created a new user account. It works without a hitch.
I feel a bit stupid that I had not done before.
Thanks again.

  • internet connection wifi does not work after entering safe mode

    It works when I connect it to the router with cable, I had this problem before & there was a command typed in cmd that solved but I can't remember it, any help?

    Interesting... If you have booted without failure then you restarted in normal mode and your wireless settings no longer work?

    UH... Well the first thing I would do is to disable and reactivate my wireless card.  The second thing I would do is check I get an IP address on my wireless network, this is done in the command line (cmd) by typing "ipconfig".  If you get an IP address then you know that your router works on the dhcp protocol, but to confirm I would ping the router, which will be your entry door, which is usually something like "ping 192.168.1.1".  If you do not have an IP address, you should try to renew and see if you can buy a... "ipconfig / renew".

    In addition, you will need to check that you are actually connected to a wireless network, it should appear in your software wireless windows, or you proprietary wireless NETWORK card software.

  • ATL-TAB within the APPLICATION does not work

    I'm a convert from windows and love the mac but Alt - Tab within the application does not work - very annoying. I often have multiple windows in the same application, and if the only way to go is to use 4 fingers Mission control, it's terrible because Mission control lists all windows in a small size and pain to know that you want to go. While with alt - tab, I can quickly cycle or just go to the last which is often I want to go to.

    It is one of the major issues Mac usability for me.

    Any tips? or addons?

    Thank you.

  • MediaTek MT7630E 802.11bgn adapter Wi - Fi does not work in 802.11n mode (mode-N), only G-mode

    A few days ago, I got a new notebook HP ProBook 430 G1. OS: Windows 8.1

    They have Mediatek MT7630E 802.11bgn Wi - Fi adapter inside.

    Problem: I found this wireless adapter does not work in 802.11n mode (mode-N), but works well as in G-mode.

    Some modifications in the parameters of the driver on the Advanced tab are problem solved.

    I think it's a bug of material, or (less maybe) a bug in the driver.

    In other forums, I heard that HP can replace the card wireless, which works well. Is it not?

    You misunderstood me. I meant, of course, all channels from 1 to 13.

    I solved the problem by unistalling completely all the WiFi and software of the device with its drivers from Control Panel.

    Then downloaded latest drivers from site oficial Mediatek.

    In the Advanced tab of the new driver settings option appeared - "802.11n direct mode.

    After you enable this mode WiFi started working in mode N well.

  • Auto focus does not work in the creative modes

    I use EOS 600 d for the past three years. I was and I am not able to auto focus in creative modes. I actually thought that there is no installation of the auto focus in creative modes. Only when I attended a workshop in Chennai yesterday, I got to know the automatic update facility is available in creative modes too.  I tried with three lenses and in all cases autofocus does not work in the creative modes only. In basic mode, it works well. I browsed the forum and found to RESET. How a reset should be done? Someone please explain. I can't find any updated firmware for 600 d.

    Thank you, Mr.Waddizzle. I did a reset according to your advice and now AF works in the creative modes also. Thank you.

  • Get error "this application does not work without Google play services"...!

    Hello

    I use google maps in my application and be able to install the apk from file in the BB device. But after installation when launching the application, I get an error "this application does not work without Google play services.

    How can I get google game services to the BlackBerry device.

    Kind regards

    NGO.

    The BlackBerry Runtime for Android applications does not support Google Maps (or Google Services play). If your application uses Google Maps, there are two ways that you can support mapping in your application. One option is to replace the library card theGoogle with a WebView that integrates the web version of Google Maps.

    For more information on this process, see using a WebView to view Google Maps.

    Another option is to replace Google Maps with OpenStreetMap, which is a free card all over the world.

    For more information on this process, see Replace Google Maps with OpenStreetMap.

  • Application does not work correctly when I press a CommanButton

    Hi all, I'm having a problem with weblogic 10.3.5.

    It turns out that an application created with JDeveloper 11.1.5, I have test and all is well in that the JDeveloper integrated Weblogic.

    But when to deploy on a stand-alone 10.3.5 weblogic server, the application does not work correctly when I press a CommanButton to go to another search page (the 'action' property is properly set), but nothing happens, remains in the same home page. Similarly when a link of commanButton to run a workflow, it does not work, however in the integrated JDeveloper to Weblogic it works correctly.

    How can I solve these problems?
    Thank you.

    One thing you shouldn't do is add '.jspx' to your URL. This shows the page, but does not start the life cycle of faces that show not work button not working navigation.
    Use

    And it should work.

  • Satellite 2450 does not start - only in safe mode

    Hello

    I'm having a problem with my Satellite 2450 where it is not initialize properly - is stuck in the screen of Windows XP (just continues to scroll through and hangs there).
    I can boot into safe mode.
    Have not had any other problems with it - no errors, do not have installed/uninstalled anything recently.

    Any ideas what could cause this problem?
    Do you think I should use the recovery disk to reinstall the OS? Anything less drastic I can try?

    any advice appreciated,
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    Usually, if the laptop does not start correctly in normal mode, but only in SafeMode because some drivers or / and software applications are false or defective.
    In this case, the recovery procedure should solve this problem.
    If you n t have the Toshiba Recovery CD, you can install from the original CD of Microsoft's operating system, and then you can try to install stuff together from Toshiba (driver, tools)
    These software, you will find on the page of the Toshiba driver.
