deleted files, I shouldn't have-can start in safe mode
I had malware on my computer so I downloaded "autoruns" to see what processes have been automatically start, I booted up my laptop in safe mode run autoruns and removed the files that have not been verified or has not just look right. I restarted my computer and now it stops with a blue screen saying if I didn't know before the reboot, if he keeps going on check that your software is properly installed etc I'm sure I deleted something I shouldn't have. Anyone know if there is what I can do to fix this? I can always start in safe mode.
"everything didn't look right.
Search. It is a wonderful thing. :-)
You can undo what you did? Did you write down/folder that you did? You just use the Safe Mode system restore. :-)

Computer hangs, reboot, can only start in safe mode
Original title:-i can only start in safe mode
Ive tried to use several restore points but when I try to reboot the computer freezes and I have to start in safe mode
Safe mode is a mode where Windows works only the bare minimum programs and processes necessary to the performance of your system. When you start in Normal mode, many more processes and applications running. At least one of these programs or process causes your computer to crash. If your task is to identify this program/process and, at least temporarily, to prevent it from running at startup. Microsoft has a tool that you can use to selectively disable or or the process that normally run at startup called "msconfig". It can be a long and exhausting iterative process of turning things off and restart to see if it you fixed program, but that's what you do:

I have an older version of Windows XP version 1.0 on a computer in November 2001 of the gateway that I have updated all offers updates of material such as BIOS and motherboard. Then to the service pack 2 update so I can load an antivirus software which does not load unless you have SP2 or later version. It loads like a champ and restarts, but Windows does not start normally, I have to start in safe mode and remove SP2. Is there a driver error that I need to find? Or is there an other update I need before SP2 for such an old version of windows? (He also did the same thing with SP3). Help!

I have windows xp after the installation of service pack 3 I can only start in safe mode
I have windows XP after the installation of service pack 3 I can only start in safe mode?
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.
This happens if the switch/SafeBoot is added to the Boot.ini file. / SafeBoot parameter forces a boot in safe mode by using the specified parameters. The available parameters are:
(a) minimal
(b) network
(c) safeboot: minimal (alternateshell)
For more information about the boot.ini switches, see visualization and correction of the settings of the boot on x 86 systems
RESOLUTION
(a) click Start, run and type MSCONFIG
(b) click the Boot.ini tab
(c) If you have a dual-boot system, select the entry that is appropriate under the [operating systems]
(d) in section downstairs, Startup Options uncheck / hisFEBOOT
(e) click OK
(f) restart Windows
The entry/SafeBoot are removed from the Boot.ini file.
Method 2:
If the above method is not the cause, it seems that Service Pack 3 is not installed correctly.
Step 1: You try to run the system restore from safe mode that will repair return the computer to the point while it was working fine.
How to restore Windows XP to a previous state
Step 2:
I suggest you follow the troubleshooting steps form the article and check if it helps.

laptop computer starts in safe mode, can't backup recovery, system used retore help
My laptop starts in safe mode, I can't make systems, backup files recovery failed, do not have a vista disk to run vista, need help
If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:
Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.
Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.
At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.
When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html
Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.
NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.
Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:
http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/
ISO Burner:http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html
It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.
You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.
It is NOT a disc of resettlement.
And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .
There is no Vista free download legal available.
Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.
Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.
See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.
Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...
Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.
They will tell you how to do this.
Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, Acer, recovery disk/s etc).
A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.
If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):
At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu
Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

I have a mini hp 10 inch. I want to get back to factory conditions or at least start in safe mode. Help, please
Hi, Patty Young. Need you to restore your computer settings or the recovery disk or your computer must have a recovery partition. To start in safe mode, you simply press the F8 key when you see the initial screen and then choose Startup mode in the Advanced menu options. I honestly recommend however, that can you tell me what your question is so that we can try to resolve without the need of recovery.

As mentioned above, this is a new system, but with a more older IDE hard drive with windows xp pack 2 service (I think). When you first start, it says that windows is not stopped correctly and asks me to choose whether to start it normally or without failure or last known working configuration. When I choose to start windows normally, it will load up to a point. The screen of Windows Xp will come with the slide bar. It will then restart. When I choose to start in safe mode, a bunch of 32 file system scrolls upwards on the screen. I don't remember if it of normal or not. He takes over in SafeMode but.

I did find something online that contains all the system boot or start specific drivers. Windows and harddrive was working in another computer just before he was switched. Let me know if you need other information.
Thank you.
First of all you are missing probably a number of device drivers, particularly the network card driver and the driver of the motherboard. Use your XP disk to perform a repair installation. This should go a long way toward you're going to get. If your new box has a driver disc that should help a lot. You can't port XP perfectly the way you did. It usually requires a repair installation to fix the hardware abstraction layer. Colin Barnhorst

Ensure that your data is backed up / copied to external media. It seems that your PC has a hardware problem. If it's a name brand PC, for example Dell / HP etc it may have preinstalled utility test read the manual or manufacturer's web site
If it's a generic PC, then your machine to HD will have a free test bootable utility, for example SeaTools from Seagate

Why my screen have a checkered pattern, but when I start in safe MODE it disappears?
Safe mode disables extensions in Firefox 4, and disables hardware acceleration.

If disable hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.

my system does not start upwards - don't stop progression blue bar that goes round and round. I can boot into safe mode and safe mode with networking mode.
Hello
As you are able to boot to the desktop in Mode safe, it means that the third-party application prevents the computer from starting in normal mode. To check you can configure the computer to clean start State and then try to boot into normal mode and check what is happening. To set up its own start-up follow the link below.
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310353
If the problem does not continues when the computer is in the clean start State follow the steps listed to identify which application is causing the problem.
Note: When you are finished troubleshooting, follow step 7 article to start on normal startup.
Hope this information is useful.

Firefox crashes immediately on startup. Won't start in safe mode.
If this is not for my personal system, but a colleague. Our company force installation of some software updates, and he had a forced installation arrives for a Firefox version 38 ESR. The installation completes successfully, and he was not able to run Firefox since then. We have tried to uninstall/reinstall to level 39 (including by deleting the directory under Program Files (x 86). We also tried to restart after each step, do not restart after each step, update of Firefox did not help either, and "Reset" is not available. We can open in safe mode and disable the Add-ons, but then it crashes again once we restarted in normal mode. This morning we tried to install level 38 instead of 39, but get the same results. Help?
You can check if Firefox can be started in Safe Mode by holding down the shift/Options button.
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem.
- Put yourself in the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance
- Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode safe

You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

You will need to close and restart Firefox after enabling/disabling this setting.
You can check if there is an update for your display driver graphic card and search for hardware acceleration of related issues.

MacBook air does not start in safe mode
