  Hello

  ·         You get the error message?

  ·         What happens when you try to start in normal mode?

  Method 1

  Windows XP can in every start Safe Mode by default. Even if you select the option Start Windows normally, it always starts in Mode without failure. IOW, you can't get out of safe mode.

  Hi arkitekromero,

  Given that repair options did not work for you.  I suggest you try the method below.

  Change the settings of the REGISTRY can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the REGISTRY settings configuration can be solved. Changes to these settings are at your own risk. Rename the Pending.xml file, and then change the registry notes read the following important notes before you use this troubleshooting method. Use this method to resolve the symptom of restart that is described in the "Symptoms" section, so that you can back up data before you reinstall Windows. You must use this method of troubleshooting only if you plan to back up data and reinstall Windows. Use this method only after trying other methods. Note If your computer is not configured to start from a CD or a DVD, see the documentation provided with your computer for instructions on how to continue. Use this method only if the computer has no restore points or if you cannot start your computer to a point where the system restore feature is available. After using this method, the following conditions may exist until reinstalling Windows: An update is being installed may not be installed correctly. Windows Update may not work correctly. If an update is installed, you may be unable to stop the installation process. You may be unable to enable and disable certain Windows functions in option. Certain optional Windows features may not work correctly. The computer may be in an unprotected state. To rename the Pending.xml file, and edit the registry, follow these steps. Start Windows Vista and go to system recovery options: Insert the Windows Vista installation disc in the disc drive, and then restart the computer. When you are prompted to restart from the disc, press any key. When you are prompted, configure the language to install, time and currency formatsand keyboard or input method options that you want, and then click Next. On the Install Windows page, click repair your computer. In the System Recovery Options page, click the version of the Windows Vista operating system that you want to repair, and then click Next. Use the system recovery options to rename the Pending.xml file and modify the registry:

  1. In the System Recovery Options page, click command prompt.
  2. Type cd C:\windows\winsxs, and then press ENTER.
  3. Type ren pending.xml pending.old, and then press ENTER.

     C:\windows\system32\config\components
  8. When you are prompted for a name, type Offline_Components.
  9. In the registry editor, find and delete the following registry subkey:
     HLKM\Offline Components\AdvancedInstallersNeedResolving
     HKLM\Offline Components\PendingXmlIdentifier

  Exit the registry editor:

• HP G4 1303 at THE: the screen is blur after the installation of Windows Vista

  Hello

  Recently, I uninstalled windows 7 ultimate and installed Windows Vista (32 bit) , because my laptop was /hangig of blocking in Windows 7.Now my laptop runs smoothly, but when I play the vedios on my system through Windows media player / K-Lite player, the vedios fading little. The same problem that goes on when I watch Youtube vedios or photos even... This was not happening on my previous windows... I installed all the drivers in my Device Manager shows no warning...

  The adopter of my screen is AMD RADEON HD 6480 G and sound have been updated...

  kindly tell me what I need to do

  Hello:

  In the Device Manager in the category graphics cards is the AMD RADEON HD 6480 listed G graphic card, or is that just an adapter VGA Standard listed there.

  If there is an adapter VGA Standard listed there that means you need to install the graphics driver AMD for Windows Vista.

  If the graphics card Radeon HD is listed under the category of display device manager cards, then the only suggestion I can offer would be to download and install the latest version of Adobe Flash Player and see if that helps any.

• Blue screen on startup after installation of service pack 3

  Original title: big problems with Windows service pack 3

  My pc runs xp edition media with a processor intel dc. I had to reformat using recovery discs cleaning all ok using microsoft update until after that load successfully and the installation of Service pack 3. Start theres a brief flash of B.S.O.D. then it goes straight to load the page option of safe mode. Startup journal raises a whole series of errors. drivers of not start tearing my hair on it!

  If there is a problem starting, XP is configured to automatically try to start again and you can stuck in a loop not being able to go beyond the screen boot options, or none of these startup options you choose will work only.

  Sometimes, when XP has a problem starting or falls down and tries to start again, it will give you a "short" menu of boot options and none of them will appear to be good to get your system going again.  You have tried them all!

  The options are similar to the Advanced Boot Options menu XP, but the only option that you need (disable automatic error system reboot) are not offered, because XP went too far during the boot process and offers a limited number of boot options.

  If this is the case, you must call Options menu advanced boot yourself until you do not see the option:

  Disable the automatic restart in the event of system failure

  When you get the XP Advanced Options correct start menu you want to see, he has options on it like these:

  Safe mode
  Safe mode with networking
  Safe mode with command prompt

  Enable Boot logging
  Enable VGA mode
  Last good Configuration known (your most recent settings that worked)
  Directory Services Restore Mode (Windows domain controllers only)
  Debug mode
  Disable the automatic restart in the event of system failure

  Start Windows normally
  Reset
  Return to OS Choices Menu

  You need to choose in this menu is the option:

  Disable the automatic restart in the event of system failure
  
  Then if XP does not start normally, you will see an error screen with information and clues about the problem and then you can decide what to do next.

  If you do not see the automatic restart on system failure option turn it off, you must reset your system and start typing the key F8 on the keyboard until you see her disable automatic restart on system failure option.

  If you miss the window of opportunity F8, you must try again and start tapping the F8 key with more urgency (earlier and more frequently) until you see disable automatic restart on system failure, and then select.

  You must keep trying the F8 menu until you see disable automatic restart on system failure option, and select it.

  If your system has a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD), we need to know what the screen says:

  Here's a BSOD example showing information you provide:

  http://TechRepublic.com.com/i/tr/downloads/images/bsod_a.jpg

  Send for the nose and the Red arrows (3 to 4 lines total).

  Send all * line STOP message since there are clues in the 4 parameters.

  If it looks like there is some kind of name listed in the STOP message file, send this line also.

  Ignore the boring text unless it seems important to you.  We know what a BSOD looks like, we need to know what your BSOD looks like.

  If your ntbootlog is display messages «Is a not load driver...» ', this does not necessarily mean that a problem...

• XP does not start after the installation of avira. Blue screen: STOP: 0 x 00000024 (0 x 00190203, 0 x 87174270, 0xc0000102, 0x00000000)

  Original title: xp does not start after the installation of avira

  I have a HP Slimline s7410
  XP Home Edition SP3
  I had Norton free with Comcast, but since I have no more Comcast became Norton expired. So I uninstalled Norton and installed the free version of Avira, he scanned the computer and it was clean. I went to reboot and now it does not start.
  I have a cd/dvd drive of work.
  I don't have an XP bootable installation CD

  My system worked well until: I installed the free version of Avira

  Whenever I select one on the XP advanced options options menu start, it goes into a boot loop.
  I turn off the auto reboot system failure although it seems only work once, as the next time he's trying to start up it goes into the boot loop.

  Here's what my BSOD looks like:

  Disable or uninstall any anti-virus, disk defragmentation or backup utilities. Check the configuration of your hard drive and check the updated drivers. Run CHKDSK /F to check for hard drive corruption, and then restart your computer.

  Technical information:
  STOP: 0 X 00000024 (0 X 00190203, 0 X 87174270, 0XC0000102, 0X00000000)

  Any help is greatly appreciated! :)

  My first suggestion is to do a system restore at this time point.

  second suggestion is to keep your external drive connected to the pc at all times.  only detach when necessary.   of course, it would be better to install a second hard drive in the computer instead.   in any case, keep your personal files out of the system disk is a wise thing to do.   You can also download and store files for free on the Microsoft Skydrive site.

  third suggestion is to keep your system set upward through executing a check disk and Defrag at least once a month.   Basically, you can open the Explorer and right-click on the drive letter.  then select Properties, and on the Tools tab, you will have the opportunity to run the disk check.  then reboot and do a Defrag.   where this disk check fails, then you will need to run it to the drive via a bootable cd prompt.

  Interestingly, I don't know if the bootable cd that you made you allows to run the disk check.

  so my suggestion is to do a series of tests using your cd bootable your computer works.  see if you can actually run a chkdsk/r at the moment with them.    If Yes, then if your constant worries are having bad sectors on the hard disk, chkdsk/r will identify and mark so windows will jump on them.    in any case, see if your boot at the moment media can run a check disk at all, and let me know.

  fifth proposal is to install "microsoft security essentials" like your anti virus program.  even if you have run ubantu, it is not likely to have been an infected copy.   anti - are most critical virus for windows and not not so much for ubantu or linux is because windows is a system of world class operations.    the people who make the virus deliberately their engineer for the windows operating system.   If, however, ubantu and linux have been just as popular as Windows, virus engineers would make infections for the o.s. too.     Although they no doubt, attacks are more frequent for the windows os.

  original title: ServicePack 3 does not work

  After loading service pack 3 my computer does not upwards, unless I use safe mode. It restores not to any restore point. I uninstall and go back to service pack two and get constant reminders to update three when it won't work. After saying it works fine if a little slow in two so is there any point of update.

  Recently, I reset my computer to factory settings to erase the disc from loads of unwanted waste and programs. Reloaded ServicePack two, he wouldn't go back with gel. After reading the old posts, I found a link to Jespers blog. It contained a small tool that intelPPM problems detected and then given the option to turn off the setting. http://msinfluentials.com/blogs/jesper/archive/2008/05/08/does-your-amd-based-computer-boot-after-installing-xp-sp3.aspx.

  This fixes the problem and service pack three charges and now works fine. The tool is loaded in seconds.
