• Cannot start windows Vista in safe mode.

  I followed these instructions to start Windows 7 in safe mode:

  I tried to start windows vista in safe mode by using the following:

  1. Click on the Windows icon in the left bottom of the screen while Windows is running in normal mode.
  2. Click on the arrow located to the right of the lock at the bottom of the popup menu symbol
  3. Choose "restart".
  4. I restart the computer, press the F8 key and hold.  I tried at the beginning of the sequence to reboot and after that the light appears on the mouse, but still before the windows logo appears.
  5. Restart the computer in normal mode.
  6. I tried the key down and also tried pressing the F8 key several times both giving the same results without success.
  7. To eliminate the possibility of a bad keyboard, I switched from keyboards with the same results.

  Can you tell me what I am doing wrong?

  You tap f8.

  You can have a F-Lock key in the upper right corner of your keyboard.

• I can't open Windows Update in safe mode with access to the internet by trying to resolve an update Error 80070020 on Windows Vista... Can anyone help?

  I followed the instructions for Error 80070020 to start Windows in safe mode with internet access, but Windows Update does not open when you click on it in the box start the search.  Internet access is available and I can connect with other sites.  However, it starts when Windows is in normal mode, but that does not help me solve my problem

  To decode 0 80070522 x. X 0 means that it is a hexadecimal number, 8 , error, the first 7 means it a windows error and the rest of the East of 20, the number, the Windows error.
   
  To search for the error message we need to decimal format. Start the Calculator (Start - All Programs - Accessories - calculator) and choose the menu display - scientific, then the menu display - Hex. Enter 20 Menu display - decimal. It will say 32.
   
  Start an command prompt (Start - All Programs - Accessories - command prompt) and type

• Blue Screen of death - now cannot load Windows (even in safe mode)

  Laptop last night (Satellite L500-19Z;) Win 7 64 bit) crashed while playing CIV4. Had a blue screen of death. before I had the chance to read one of the error messages about the computer restarted.

  It loaded windows in SafeMode very well then and informed me that he had loaded OK the problem safe mode will be linked to some recently installed software and I should uninstall programs I had installed until it loads normally. As it was late last night I closed and thought I would sort the morning (with the benefit of hindsight it may have been a mistake...).

  Today, when the computer tries to start, it tries a startup repair; Unfortunately it does not work every time and it says "Startup Repair tried several times but still cannot determine the cause of the problem"

  I looked at the paper it produces, but it passes all of the individual tests.

  I can't access also advanced recovery options system & support, that appears in the Startup Repair dialog box as it requires that I be connected, which apparently I am not (probably the machine never got to the windows screen connection before attempting repair system). The error message reads "you must be logged to access system recovery options. If you encounter problems to connect, please contact your computer administrator for help. Please click OK to restart the computer. »

  I had a go at the start in the advanced options (safe mode, safe mode with command etc., but the result is the same).

  I also tried the repair of your computer to the screen option options advanced boot, but after the screen where it asks you to choose the language and keyboard, I get the same error of connection mentioned above.

  Is it possible to repair or even run windows based hard drive recovery (do not have the DVD of recovery with me as I'm away from home for a few weeks) without connecting to windows? I expected here, but have not yet find a way to do it.

  (there is no disc in the disc drive, no other devices connected to the laptop - I tried with power outlet and the battery and have not noticed differences)

  Thank you
  James

  Hello

  Pitty, you cannot retrieve the HEXADECIMAL code
  On this side, I think that your HD or registry is damaged and you have to reinstall the entire system

  My laptop keeps hitting a blue screen at startup ('a forward driver a buffer based on the stack'), I can only start it in safe mode. I want to try windows updates to see if this will help, but whenever I click on the button to update windows on the start menu, nothing happens.

  Hey ElizabethSlater,

  Try to run a full scan with the Microsoft Safety Scanner to make sure that nothing is found.

  Try also to install the latest drivers from your computer manufacturer's website. If you have difficulty to locate the website of your computer manufacturer or the drivers on their page, please provide your computer brand and model in your next reply. If you have built your computer you need visit the site of the manufacturer of each piece of hardware to get the latest driver.

  Once the drivers have been installed, try to restart your computer, and then test to see if the same problem occurs.

  Hope that helps.

• Login - continuous scrolling - Windows, even in safe mode screen

  I have a Sony Vaio with Win XP SP2 laptop. There was a virus attack, the virus simply scroll whole screen you, as if you press the arrow key down. I stop, then open a session in safe mode, ran Malwarebytes, found and removed 2 utilities passwordStealer and KeyLogger. The problem seemed to have disappeared. But now he is back on the screen Windows safemode login options. I can't select SafeMode / SafeMode with network / anything since the virus is the key of Basel permanently.

  Help, please!

  I tried to boot with the rescue AVG disk / UBUNTU as well, but to no avail. The problem is, once AVG CD load and asks me to choose 1 of 7 options, when I try to press the arrow up / down to go to the option 'Scan', the virus is using the arrow key down.

  Are you sure? Viruses are rare under Linux... It is even more unlikely that the same virus that has been written for Win XP to run in a Linux environment. I'm starting to think that you have some sort of hardware problem.

  !!! WARNING! Be careful here!
  Have you tried to Disconnect completely all your hard disks via anti-static bracelet and boot from your CD Win XP Pro (do not REFORMAT). I think that you should be able to boot from your CD of Win XP to the point just before you have to select the media target. If booting from your CD of Win XP still causes your screen cursor keys act weird, you probably have a hardware problem.

  !!! WARNING!
  When you disconnect a hard drive with an anti static band, you have TO put it and antistatic location on an antistatic surface.

  I think the only option is to go to a technician to remove the HARD drive and sorting. Coz' with this kind of problem, I can not select anything on the screen.

  Remove the hard drive and scanning with another computer are the best way to kill the virus, but you will need to get a proper equipment (band of anitstatic and bags) and find a friend or technician who is willing to risk infection.

• The purpose of doing a virus scan after Windows starts in safe mode?

  I've heard some suggestions that, in certain circumstances, it is best to do a virus scan after Windows starts in safe mode. So I have two questions:

  (1) would what type of circumstances you perform a scan antivirus in safe mode?

  (2) what are the advantages or disadvantages?

  I have found no reliable info that answers to these questions and would be grateful for any info, or even just a point in the right direction.

  Thank you!

  Hello

  The advantage is that some process and services are not loaded in Mode without failure there is less chance
  This malware can load and interfere with the process. The downside is the same if its best
  to run the malware checks mode safe and then in Windows. Or run in Windows and as appropriate
  difficult to remove malware is detected then run in Mode safe, then in Windows.

  If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to
  scrutiny and the withdrawal without ending up with a load of spyware programs running
  resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be more difficult to detect as the
  cause.

  No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
  to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
  its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
  extreme overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.

  It can be made repeatedly in Mode safe - F8 tap that you start, however, you must also run
  the regular windows when you can.

• Windows automatically restarts constantly, cannot access the system restore point, cannot access the computer in safe mode

  Hi all

  For the not 24 hours I tried to access my computer in normal mode. When I turn on the pc, it says "configuration data 1 of 3 steps...". 0% complete"he never spent 0% and within seconds, it automatically restarts and starts again. It's so frustrating! I have a windows vista pc (purchased in ' 06). I can only access my desktop in SafeMode.

  I tried to perform a system restore, but not like he says "recovery disk is not the restore point selected. What should I do? I tried to manually create a restore point, but cannot access the system and Maintenance, while in safe mode. I can't do anything but literally access the internet. How can I get Windows back to factory settings it is with these limited resources? I have a Dell reinstallation DVD.

  I searched my programs and found that recently Windows automatically updated and downloaded "Microsoft Powerpoint Viewer" and "for 2007 Office system Compatibility Pack '. Now, I think it has something to do with it, because they were the most recent updates, before the pc crashed. But I also fear that it may be a virus, which has completely hijacked this PC. How am I supposed to get rid of a bug, if I can't even get the necessary antivirus?

  Sorry for the ranting, but it's so stressful when my pc is completely down. Please, please please help me. Thank you in advance for reading this same!
