• computer is stuck in the screen that lets you choose Safe mode or start normally

  Original title: stuck

  My computer is stuck in the screen that lets you choose Safe mode or start normally. When I choose that it just goes back to the same screen. stuck in this screen

  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.

  Answering queries and results report of the disable automatic restart on system failure screen and you can decide what to do next.

• After trying to install the updates. my computer is now stuck in constant reboot mode while showing "Configuring updates 3 of 3 0%, do not turn off your computer.

  Visa update problem

  After trying to install the updates.  my computer is now stuck in constant reboot mode while showing "Configuring updates 3 of 3 0%, do not turn off your computer.  I tried to follow the instructions provided here because it seemed to be the same problem.  But when I restart and hold down the F8 key so I can boot into safe mode, I tried selecting safe mode and I get the same results, and I tried again by selecting the option 'Disable automatic reboot' which seems to be an option on the same page with the option of safe mode.  Whatever it is, the same message comes back and I can never get to where I can see my desktop to click 'start '.  I can't get out of this cycle.  I installed the update because it said I needed to install it.

  *************************************************************************************************************************************************

  Turn off your computer by holding the power button for about 20 seconds.
   
  Start your computer in safe mode: press and hold the F8 key as your computer restarts. You need to press F8 before the Windows logo appears
   
  Disable the automatic restart in the event of system failure:
   
  • Click Start
  • Click on Control Panel
  • Click on system and Maintenance link.
  • Click on the system link
  • In the left pane, click Advanced system settings
  • Locate the startup and recovery area, click the settings button.
  • In the startup and recovery window, uncheck the box next to automatically restart.
  • Click OK in the startup and recovery window
  • Click OK in the System Properties window
  • Close the system window
   
  After that... While STAYING in safe mode I do a system restore and maybe try a manual install of the update later.
   
  For the sake of space I refer you to the article about how to proceed.

  Hey Janeynflorida

  1st thing to try is a restoration of the system in safe mode

  http://www.windowsvistauserguide.com/system_restore.htm

  Windows Vista

  Using the F8 method:

  1. Restart your computer.
  2. When the computer starts, you will see your computer hardware are listed. When you see this information begins to tap theF8 key repeatedly until you are presented with theBoot Options Advanced Windows Vista.
  3. Select the Safe Mode option with the arrow keys.
  4. Then press enter on your keyboard to start mode without failure of Vista.
  5. To start Windows, you'll be a typical logon screen. Connect to your computer and Vista goes into safe mode.
  6. Do whatever tasks you need and when you are done, reboot to return to normal mode.
