• PC will not open in Mode safe

  My moms ADVENT PC has stopped working and will not open in safe mode. If I try to open it in normal mode it gets stuck in a loop of trying to open and then automatically close down and then try to open it again.

  I have checked for viruses, it has been reduced to a restore point, tried to uninstall the virus check tool and install a new one and then later retrieve the machine back to factory settings and wipe all data on this subject and nothing worked. Recovery and wipe the machine this means loading OK, but as soon as I tried to access the internet, he crashed and then got stuck in the loop once again to try to open and close then.

  Anyone have any ideas? Is it a hardware problem, that I have to throw the PC?

  Thank you

  Hello

  ·        Do you have an error message when you try to start the system normally? If Yes, what is the exact error message?

  Method 1:

  It might be that internet explorer is corrupt. I suggest to run a SFC scan on the system and check if the problem persists.

  a. open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click programs, accessories principally made, right-click Guest, and then click Run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on allow.

  b. type the following command and press ENTER:

  sfc/scannow

  The sfc/scannow command. analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions.

  Method 2:

  I also suggest you to remove the external devices (such as printer, scanners, etc.) of your system and check whether you are able to start the system normally.

   

  Method 3:

  It can also be that some driver or hardware causes this problem. I suggest a prior clean boot on the system and check if you are able to start the system normally. Follow the steps mentioned in the article below.

• PC does not normally, will not open in Mode without failure. 124 Blue error screen.

  Hope you can help, I'm pulling my hair out here.

  Yesterday, my PC crashed and eventually would not load normally. When load it goes into a loop where he would try and fix the mistake (he could not), and then try a restore point, that will fix it either. In addition, the screen is highly pixelated on each screen, including the start of Packard Bell at the beginning screen.

  Randomly, when I booted up my PC today, it went in the tool to restart system and restarted the PC, and it started properly - no pixelations. It lasted for 5-10 min, then crashed again. After restarting, it returned to the same problems as above, pixelated screen and does not start in normal mode, Safe Mode only.

  I get the error code is below. I can locate the dump file, in that respect, but I don't know how open it to read (seems not that I have any program that can be read).

  Any help, advice, suggestions as to what I can do to solve this problem would be greatly appreciated!  Thank you

  Hello

  Have you run BlueScreenView to see the Bug_Checks yourself? Very revealing.

  You run both BitDefender and AVG. Have two major antivirus on the same system,
  much less enforcement, certainly do not. Even those who are disabled and some uninstalled, will be
  load the pieces themselves into memory. Remains of those uninstalled can do the same thing.
  Uninstall AVG and BitDefender to help to uninstall, and then run the removal of their creator tools
  so that no remains are left behind. AVG is known to have caused strange problems. See
  below to get recommendations for use during the test, even better would be permanently.

  Just realized you also use what is called RadialPoint, and it's another antivirus.
  on top of those security program above - you must abandon it as well.

  When you load all programs antivirus/security of two or several you really decrease their and.
  effectiveness and thus your security. And resulting then all sorts of weird errors.

  Here's what I use and recommend: (these are all free and very effective versions.)

  Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with all I have
  launched on them. Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven to be very
  reliable and compatible. Use MSE or Avast and Prevx, Prevx 3 but not all.

  Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except leaving Standard, Web, and
  Operation of the network.

  Prevx - Home - free

  Windows Firewall

  Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)

  Protected IE - mode

  IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)

  I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
  (It may temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom
  right of IE)

  Two versions of Avast are available 5.x and 4.8 x

  Avast - home - free - 5.x stop shields you do not use (except files, Web, network, &)
  Shields of behavior) - double click on the icon in the Notification area - real time Orange - click on the
  Shield that you want to stop - STOP. To stop the Orange icon to show an error indicator-
  Click on the Orange icon - top right - settings - click on the status bar - uncheck shields you
  disabled - click OK
  http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download

  Avast 4.8 x - home - free - stop shields, you don't need except leaving Standard, Web,.
  and the network running. (Double-click the blue icon - look OK. - upper left - Shields details
  Finish those you don't use).
  http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download#TAB4

  Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
  http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

  Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast

  Prevx - home - free small, fast, exceptional protection CLOUD, working with other security
  programs. It is a single scanner, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something come back here
  or use Google to see how to remove.
  http://www.prevx.com/   <-->

  PCmag - Prevx - Editor's choice
  http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp

  Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever think malware and that
  would be unusual with Avast and occasional Prevx running with the exception of a low level cookie
  (not much), to UPDATE and then run it as a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they
  never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.

  http://www.Malwarebytes.org/

  =======================================================

  You also load Adaware at startup and it sometimes causes also some questions so I
  would be to uninstall it. If you use the above recommendations you will not need, nor likely
  benefit of Adaware running in resident mode.

  I hope this helps.

• El capitan will not open - full boot disk

  Hello

  My Macbook Pro 2015 will not open. I have El Capitan on it.

  The last time it was open, I was copying large files on it. Did not notice that the free space was not so. Thus, change some time to copy files, the screen freezes and I had to stop it by pressing the button of closing for a period of time.

  Now it wonder pass and then takes over to 100% and stay like that. I keep it like that for 1 and a half hour and still the same.

  I have fact/cheque:

  1 safe mode - does not work. I don't know why, and I'm wright.

  2 disk utility (cmd + R) - say that the mac player seems to be ok (first aid) and shows me zero free Ko. Think that's the reason why it does not start.

  3 terminal. Find my user >. Trash and delete the content thereof (rm - rf ~ /.) Trashes) and checked it was empty after. After restarting the same.

  4 El Capitan of loading of the external drive. Can't see hidden files (.) (Trash) even when I put the command in the terminal. I was able to remove the other files with this, which appeared on the external drive of the El capitan Trash and delete them from there to check the mac, 100 GB of free drive. Reboot and always the same time. Open Cmd + R-> disk utility again: zero free Ko. Why?

  Like most computers Mac needs space to run in, so boot from an external drive and delete (or move) at least 15 GB of your Mac. This should be enough to start, do not fill it up again

  the windows system restore feature is a very important system.

• The Explorer does not start, the Task Manager does not start, safe mode does not start. Wat to do?

  I have recently been diagnosed with some sort of spyware / trojan in Avira and, apparently, he had removed. Apparently NOT.

  Yesterday my laptop crashed and explorer.exe would not load at startup. The screen is all black with just the cursor. Windows Key + R is not raise Run and Alt + Ctrl + Del to appear the option lock and stop... but no task manager.

  Safe mode has the same problem. I tried the option restore also, but all the restore points has mysteriously disappeared.

  I wonder if there is no solution without a ridiculous amount of data backup and restoration of the entire system. Thanks in advance

  Hello

  You can access Mode safe? Repeatedly press F8 as you start? If yes you can try Control Panel - device
  Manager - graphics card - Double click on - driver tab - click on UPDATE driver - then right click
  on devices and UNINSTALL - REBOOT.

  Another method to try to get to the desktop (try in normal Windows Mode without failure)
  CTRL + ALT + DELETE and on the tab process EXPLORER.exe and COMPLETE the PROCESS on this subject - then
  on the Applications tab - lower right - new task - type in EXPLORER.exe. Safe mode is reached
  by tapping F8 as you start several times.

• After installation of the parental control my Start Menu will not open

  I have recently installed Windows live family safety on my computer. After I've set up and he began to monitor user accounts, I found that the start menu will not open and when you navigate in Explorer, records that contain a large amount of files I can't navigate to files that lie near the bottom, as it keeps jumping to the top of the page.

  It is without doubt parental control that is causing the problem as the uninstall it sorts the problem. I ran SFC/scannow, a cmd in normall, and safe mode prompt and it doesn't find any errors

  . I had this same problem when I got the laptop in November and a successful to fall on a difficulty at the time (to install the resource from Dell that CD somehow fixed?), but now that either doesn't work or it was a coincidence that the problem has been resolved at the same time, it seemed however to solve the problem on some laptops that I worked at the time.

  I had to reset the laptop back to factory settings (ironically due to a system error that prevented the family of work safety!) I also tried a replair nothing works facility. When I installed Essentials I selected only parental controls must be installed.

  I am now at my wits end, I do not understand how a piece of Windows software is make a significantly Windows operating system!

  The installer I used was version 15.4.3555.308, is there a more up-to-date this solve the problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

• Updated FireFox, restarted and now it will not open the browser, even if the icon does not appear in my taskbar. Was fine until the update last night. Win8.1 running

  When I move the mouse over the icon in the taskbar that appears after that I have I dbl-clicked on the icon on the desktop, you can see a miniature version of the browser open as usual, unfortunately, the browser will not open upward on the desktop. I've deleted and reinstalled several times. It has worked very well until I did the update last night.

  Machine features:
  8.1 to win
  16 GB of RAM
  3 video concerts
  Processor AMD FX-6200 6 3.80 Ghz
  64 bit

  Sometimes, a window is "off the screen" somehow. Often, you can force it to appear on the screen by right clicking on the thumbnail image just above the taskbar and choose expand. Does it work?

  A possible cause for this is that the file that stores the positions and sizes of window is corrupt.

  #1 method: If you can get a zoomed window:

  Open the settings folder (AKA Firefox profile) current Firefox help

  • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
  • (menu bar) Help > troubleshooting information
  • type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter

  In the first table of the page, click on the view file"" button. This should launch a new window that lists the various files and folders in Windows Explorer.

  Leave this window open, switch back to Firefox and output, either:

  • "3-bar" menu button > button "power".
  • (menu bar) File > Exit

  Pause while Firefox finishing its cleanup, then rename xulstore.json to something like xulstore.old. If you see a file named localstore.rdf, rename this to localstore.old.

  Launch Firefox back up again. Windows normally appear again?

  #2 method: If you can not get a Firefox window for all:

  Close Firefox by right clicking the icon in the taskbar > close all windows.

  Using the Run dialog box (windows key + R) or the search for the start bar menu (or perhaps 8.x for Windows search of charms bar bar?) type or paste the following and press ENTER to drill down to the profiles folder:

  %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
  

  Here you can see a folder - in this case, double-click that - or more than one case - in this case, double-click on in what looks like the most recently updated.

  Scroll down and rename xulstore.json to something like xulstore.old. If you see a file named localstore.rdf, rename this to localstore.old.

  Launch Firefox back up again. Windows normally appear again?

• I don't know what to do about Java - my Mac is horribly slow, and I was advised to remove Java. But now it will not open Photoshop without Java.

  I don't know what to do about Java - my Mac is horribly slow, and I was advised to remove Java, it installs adware. The more I studied, the more information, I've seen say that most of the Web sites and software do not use Java on Mac more. So I deleted everything related with Java. But now it will not open Photoshop without Java. It will be safe if I get it directly from the Oracle site?

  You can download the installer for OS X directly from Oracle. Be sure to uncheck everything installs 'optional' which can appear at the beginning (I think on Windows it wants to install McAfee trial or the toolbar Bing - not really malware, more as desired and useless crud-ware).  I have a course Java JRE install on my MacBook Pro retina like some internal tools we have developed to work are currently java and I use a tool of u. Toronto called CytoScape is Java.  Sites Web will use Java Script, a very different beast and does not require a full Java or JRE install.  But with Java/JRE installed, just be sure of the source of any software that you download and install that is java based (as you should with all the software that you put on your machine).

  In addition, for PhotoShop, it says that you need the legacy Java 6 for OS X?  If so, then don't waste your time on the current version, just install that release 6 legacy.
