Cannot start windows in safe mode, the work of restoration but still cannot start unless in safe mode

After a microsoft update beginning 04/04/11 awoke to noisy computer which was start and restart in safe mode.  Pbly. most of the night it was start and restart.  System Restore tried to 3 or 4 different dates, said has been restored, but this does not solve the problem.  Have you tried troubleshooting, nothing helps.  Worked on it for several days without any positive result.  Any advice will be appreciated.

Hi Grandma fla,.

1. you remember what update was installed before that the problem occurred?

2. do you have security software installed on the computer?

Method 1

It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.

How to configure Windows XP to start in a "clean boot" State

http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310353

Reset the computer to start as usual

When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

(a) click Start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

(b) If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

(c) under the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.

(d) when you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

Method 2

If the previous step fails, then you perform the clean boot in order to verify if any device on the computer is the origin of the hardware problem.

a. click "Start", type "DEVMGMT. MSC"in the search text box and press ENTER.

b. expand ' audio, video and game controllers ".

c. right click on your sound card, select "Properties".

d. click on the "Driver" tab, click Disable the selected device. Click OK

e. Please use the same method to disable other devices such as: Modem, network card, CD - R drive. Please note that some devices such as the video card are not available should be disabled.

f. restart the computer and check if it works.

    Hello...

    I have a problem with windows 2003 to windows 2008 migration. I have try several round of flyway of google and youtube, but he is still fail.

    I have HP Proliant server with windows server 2003. So I restore the backup to a different server HP Proliant wih same hardware specification. I've been back up the System State and the drive C with NTBackup. After I restored on HP Proliant, that I want to migrate, the DNS server is timeout request and the client cannot join domain. I was surprised, because the backup and the material is the same, but it can work as well as the original server.
    in the second case,
    I have windows server 2003 in HP Proliant server and it works well. I'm doing a replication on this server to another windows 2003 server in an another HP Proliant and works of good replication (another user can join the domain). After, I have installed windows server 2008 to another PC and make the replication of the duplication of windows 2003. And this success to replicate, but not on the DNS (DNS query time-out).

    It is somewhere between quite unlikely and very little probable that you will find anywhere.  When you open a document from the email that you open a temporary copy of the file, and unless you use "Save as" to save to a network drive or a location on your hard drive, this temporary copy is the one that is being updated.  In general, as soon as you close the e-mail message or e-mail program, the temporary copy went forever.

    You could try a search on your hard drive, including indexed and hidden locations and the files system and records, but it is not likely that you will find.

  • HP Officejet 4620: Office Windows 10 connects to the wireless network printer but do not print

    I have a HP Officejet 4620 all-in-one that I try to use with my desktop computer. The printer has been added to my home network, and I added the printer to my computer via the tab "Devices" Control Panel settings, but when I try to print, nothing happens. The printer icon appears in the bottom right of the task bar that says the printer has "0 documents pending. Strangely, another computer in the office at home, also running Windows 10, can connect and no problem printing to the printer. I tried to install/reinstall the drivers, reset my computer, reconnect with and without a cord USB, and none of this helps. Any ideas on how to solve the problem? My computer was running on Windows 7 until this month when I updated for Windows 10, so I don't know if it's part of the problem or not.

  • My sound keeps inhibition by itself! Have you tried System Restore, but still was no use, guard passing! I have Windows XP.

    For no reason I known, my speaker in the toolbar at the bottom right keeps silent! I tried the system restore, but it happens again... more frequently! Help!

    Hello

    Check if you have a sticky on the keypad mute button.

    The sound will actually mode 'secret' or is it just cut out. You can tell if you have the sound icon in your system tray, you can see the red circle with a line through when her mute.

    If it's cut: the function of it cutting may be a physical problem. The system may not have enough juice to power the sound. Try playing the sound on a low volume. My other guess would be to update drivers and test.

    If the problem persists, reinstall the sound card drivers and check if that helps.

  • Instances the fault and recover, but still registered as running

    I have a composite that contains two bpel process. The first calls, the second with 'fire and forget '. Tens of thousands of cases, we run every day, but from time to time, a small cluster (running at roughly the same time) seem to get stuck running. We have a manager of breakdowns in place that will try several attempts before sending an e-mail notification and ending the process. Review of the audit trail seems to show that the process bpel 1 failed (red X) before calling the second bpel process, but no error information is displayed and without defects are reported. Trail at the end of the 1st bpel process indicates a recovery and comprehensive audit trail does show a 2nd success try with the bpel process 1st call the second process successfully. So everything seems to have finally succeeded. But the instance itself is still listed as current enforcement, which is disconcerting, and no indication of the initial fault lie. It is a production CA. If logging is limited. Anyone encountered before? Someone has an idea of what might be happening here?
