Cannot get safe mode

I am wanting to do work under the hood of my new T410s works in "Safe Mode", but now the F8 key during reboot gives me an error message "Stuck Key", and then I headed directly into the BIOS/Start Up editing area.

One advises on how to bypass this weird detour?

go to control panel - system configuration - startup tab - then check the startup and restart

    Hello

    Thank you for visiting Microsoft Community.

    According to the description, I understand that your PC starts with a black screen. I will certainly help you to question.

    I suggest you follow the steps mentioned below:

    Method 1:

    First try the Startup Repair option in the System Recovery Options dialog box. If this does not resolve the problem, or if you have additional problems manually, use the Bootrec.exe tool.

    Startup Repair is a Windows Recovery tool that can fix certain system problems that might be preventing Windows to start. It scans your computer for the problem and attempt to fix it so that your computer can start correctly.

    Startup Repair is a recovery tools in the System Recovery Options menu. This set of tools is on your computer's hard disk and on the Windows installation disc.

    1. remove all floppy disks, CDs and DVDs from your computer and restart your computer by using the power button on the computer.

    2. do one of the following:

    o If your computer has a single operating system installed, press and hold the F8 key as your computer restarts. You need to press F8 before the Windows logo appears. If the Windows logo appears, you must try again by waiting until the Windows logon prompt appears, and then stop and restart your computer.

    o If your computer has multiple operating systems, use the arrow keys to select the operating system you want to repair, and then press and hold F8.

    3. in the Advanced Boot Options screen, use the arrow keys to select repair your computer and press ENTER. (If your computer is not listed as an option, then your computer doesn't understand no repair preinstalled recovery options, or your network administrator has disabled the.)

    4. Select a keyboard layout, and then click Next.

    5. in the System Recovery Options menu, click a tool to open it.

    Because you cannot start the computer, you may need to create a bootable Windows installation media, and then do an auto repair, and if this does not help then you try to restore your computer to the previous date.

    Note: When you use system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, the programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

    The link provided below might help you to download and create installation media.

    Method 2:

    Try to rebuild the BCD by using the Bootrec.exe tool.

    To run the Bootrec.exe tool, you must start Windows RE. To do this, follow these steps:

    1. place the Windows 7 installation discin the disc drive, and then start the computer.

    2. press a key when you are prompted. Select a language, a time, a currency, a keyboard or an input method, and then click Next.

    3. click on repair your computer.

    4. click on the operating system that you want to repair, and then click Next.

    5. in the System Recovery Optionsdialog box, click command prompt.

    6. type Bootrec.exe, and then press ENTER.

  • Windows Mobile 8 slow and freezes and cannot enter safe mode

    Hi guys, I hope you can help me with a Windows laptop, 8 that gives me problems. I'm trying to help out a friend, and honestly I feel like I'm out of my depth. The initial problem was that the laptop has been slow to respond, very slow, I suspected a virus, ran a Norton scan, it turned up nothing, I ran out of time so I put in safe mode and it gives back, with a significant improvement of the laptop in safe mode. I got the laptop back today and it is always very slow to respond despite having 6 GB of RAM and specifications that must run Windows 8 very well. Is no longer possible in safe mode, and every time I try to put it in safe mode I see Start followed a white/black screen samsung, i.e. when the process ends. However when I try a normal start it starts, but at a snails pace and goes to the login screen, where it is only partially acceptable (it meets more frequently). Any help you guys can provide would be great, thanks in advance, do not hesitate to ask any questions and I'll try to get back to you as soon as POSSIBLE.

    Hello

    You might want to look in the Startup tab of the the Task Manager for any substance uneeded...

    In particular, all that has changed recently...

    You could also look into the Services of MSCONFIG tab, hide all Microsoft and see what remains...

    Someone not know I had a similar problem, and their main problem is that something called LogMeIn.

    It is in the Startup tab...

    What processes Taskmanager shows running?

    Go to the Boot.ini tab, and then make sure that Safe Mode is disabled (Off).

    Then click on apply and reboot the system.

  • Cannot boot safe mode.

    Hello

    I am running Windows 7 Service Pack 1 with Suse Linux 12.2, using dual-boot.

    For some reason, I can't start mode - pressing F8 leads to a normal start with no error message.

    By pressing F12 when the Dell icon correctly, throw myself into the boot options.

    I wonder if my problem with F8 is due to dual boot or the fact that my drive is partitioned.

    Thanks in advance,

    The Dell logo is too early.  You get a GRUB prompt to select the operating system to start?  AFTER THAT is when you start, but once you see the Windows logo, it's too late.

  • Satellite A300-215 - cannot get the mode full screen

    Hi people!

    Yesterday bought a beautiful 215 Satellite A300 - Intel Core 2 Duo / P8700 / 2.53 Ghz / 15. 4 WXGA / * Radeon HD 3650 * / 400GO
    "Works like a Ferrari, but has a problem of querky get a full screen whenever I try to play any media, for example watching footy, movies, the screen will just go *" FULL SCREEN "*: (: (, tried my best change the display resolutions in the control panel in all possible ways, but can't it upwards with a full screen full.))"

    Downloaded yet another driver nvidia video driver that corresponds with the books of Toshiba, but it does not work. The current driver I have to view it of ATI Mobility Radeon 3650, also of no assistance?

    When I try to set the resolution fpr the wmp player or player spvod to fit the entire screen, the page turns just huge, unmanageable, it's fine with laptop functions, no problem. at all, but not possible to take advantage of any media-magnified.

    Strongly, I'd appreciate it if someone could help me please solve this, thanks in advance! Soon :)

    Hi Amor,

    > Downloaded yet another driver nvidia video driver
    Are you kidding me? : D
    Why you are downloading a nVidia display driver if you have a Radeon HD 3650 graphics card?
    I put t understand this

    Anyway, you have full screen in Windows, or this only happens if you play any media?

    In addition, it would be interesting to know if you have installed XP yourself or was it is preinstalled on your laptop? You should test it with OS preinstalled Toshiba, maybe that s a software problem.

    Also make sure that this latest version of the BIOS is installed and verify in the display settings, the image format Options. It must be set to full screen.

  • Cannot boot safe mode or any mode - hangs on the mup.sys driver

    Can someone help me. I did some research on the internet and see that it is a familiar problem. I have been using a usb and someone removed without doing safely - storage key my laptop then froze and the only thing I could do was turn it off at the power button.

    Now I can't do anything - it just goes to several times on the same page saying that there was a problem to choose a way to start - I chose alone and nothing - it loads until the mup.sys driver and then just goes to the same page again. I'm out of ideas.

    Can anyone help?
    I'm trying to avoid the recovery disk that I really want to lose my job yet, but realize that might have to happen, you mind I read reports that it even still hangs when you try this option.

    Thanks Rachel

    Hello

    AFAIK the mup.sys is placed in the folder C:\Windows\System32\drivers and it s responsible for the control and the start-up of the operation of the system at the lower level (control of the printer or the graphics card, etc.).

    If your computer loads all the way up to mup.sys then your HARD drive should work. If he died it would not even charge anything at all. It would not even try to load this file.
    It is likely that this file is corrupted just.

    If you re not able to run the Win operating system and use the System Restore tool, so I put t see any other possibility to use the Toshiba Recovery CD.
    To save important files, you can remove the laptop HARD drive and connect the HARD drive to another computer via the USB interface.

  • Blue Blue screen (BSOD) / cannot run safe mode / last known configuration / normal mode

    Hello

    Depending on the subject, I tried to put it on my laptop relatively old (I use it for work only) after the shooting he goes out and were suddenly brought to the page. Now I'm stuck with BSOD and tried to fix it for the last 2 hours.

    I don't know what happened and I'm not good in it issues so I read a few posts on the BSOD issues to try to help out me, but nothing helped. By far, I tried to run the start-up test (running / hard disc as well) under the system of diagnosis and he returned with Start-up Test  Passed. I tried to run several times as suggested by some other forumers here but still does not work.

    Here are the specs / error prompts:

    Error message - BAD_POOL_CALLER

    Product number - NS136UC #ABA

    OS - WINDOWS XP

    I'd be grateful if someone would be able to help solve the problems. I have attached the BSOD page if it helps.

    TIA

    Bredd

    Hello

    Most of the time the appellant Bad Pool is the result of a damaged or defective hard drive, or it may be also that the RAM is having issues, you say you ran a test drive and it passes, so for me, it could be a case that the RAM (memory) is damaged and or has failed.  All I can say is that if you open the lower compartment of your laptop and you will find the stick/sticks of RAM (memory), if you have 2 sticks of memory remove one of your machine and see if the machine starts correctly, if not then remove the other module and re - install the module that you deleted at the beginning and see if the machine starts correctly. To remove the RAM of your machine, you will see two small metal clips on part and the other part of memory them (pushing left and right left on the right side) memory will raise slightly gently pull toward you and remove the crack, NB Please be aware that when you re-install the memory, you will notice a small notch in the RAM slot and a small cut on the cylinder itself make sure that they match before installing.  Let me know how you go...

  • Cannot get standby mode, it is grayed out

    I have the model Dell Dimensions 4700, Windows XP.  When I want to sleep, I can't because this option is grayed out and I can't activate it?  Help, please.

    If you recently updated the drivers to go back to see if it corrects the problem.

    If you recently attached all new devices disconnect.

    If you recently changed devices such as keyboard, mouse, etc., and the 'old' work always put the old ones back in.

  • Safe mode - NB200 Windows 7

    I have tried to get Safe Mode to resolve certain problems and were experiencing great difficulty in getting. Most of the forums and messages say press 'f8' at startup (i.e. the Windows normal option). It did not work.
    I discovered that by pressing "f2" IMMEDIATELY (literally a fraction of a second) after Windows begins to start - for me it was after my startup security key has been registered as I have a HARD drive encryption system, but would otherwise be just after the closure of the Toshiba page which offers the possibility of f2 or f12 that you get to the page that offers you the possibility of pressing "f8" to access the startup options page.

    I hope this helps someone and prevents frustration I've had!

    Thanks for sharing this info.

    Hi Willie,

    ·         What happens when you try to install Windows?

    ·         You have made any changes recently?

    Method 1: Disconnect non-essential external devices and see if you can start very well.

    Method 2: If you are unable to boot in any mode follow the steps in this article and see if it helps.

    How do I recover from a corrupted registry that prevents Windows XP startup

    Check the boot priority in the BIOS (Basic Input\Output System) and make sure that the CD/DVD drive is the first boot device.

    Note: Be careful when you change the BIOS settings. The BIOS interface is designed for advanced users, and it is possible to change a setting that can prevent your computer from starting properly.

  • regcure running in safe mode

    Okay... my father has a laptop and he has accidentally deleted a DLL... now when it goes to start the computer nothing shows but an error screen and when you click on one of the two options on the error report it shuts down the computer... so we try to run regcure in safemode, but screen is medium to large... no idea how to adjust the size of the screen of regcure or run the scan regcure in the command prompt? Thank you for taking the time to read this =)... it's a windows xp

    You have posted in forum for Windows Vista, but since you are here we will address the issue.

    1. never, never use a type program "cleaner" registry such as RegCure. Get rid of it as soon as POSSIBLE. More information on why not to use the 'fixers' register here:
    http://aumha.NET/viewtopic.php?t=28099

    2. what .dll your father has deleted? It is important to know if it deleted what is malicious software or it has deleted a Windows system file.

    3. If it was a file system, since you can get safe mode, you can try:

    running system restore. Start > all programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore. "Restore my computer to an earlier time."
    b. or if the system restore does not work, start > run > sfc/scannow [OK]

    Please post back with the file name of your deleted and this dad you know the State of virus/malware from the laptop so that we can move forward with troubleshooting. Don't use RegCure or there may be no hope of getting the system of your dad back intact.

    Its data is backed up? If this isn't the case, it should do before anything else. Since it can get Safe Mode, it can copy data on an external hard drive or USB key to fix it before the additional work is done. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • Computer does not start properly, but it doesn't work in safe mode?

    When the computer is turned on, it begins with pink vertical lines in the splash screen and then primer not correctly. I am able to get safe mode and operated from there. I did system restore, memory, virus scan without result. Any ideas?

    You may have problems with your graphics card.

    If under warranty, contact the manufacturer of your computer.

    If this is not the case, try a local computer repair shop.

    See you soon.
