Freeze and cannot type anything, need to start in safe mode
Firefox suddenly do not allow me to enter in dialogs of a Web site, a Web site, or browse the toolbar. It just goes back to normal when I pass in 'Safe Mode '. I disabled each card add on etc, without success. Using the latest version (v15). I tried to uninstall and install without success.
Two things happened that may have contributed: installed ZoneAlarm and installed Adobe flash. I removed the two of them now, and Firefox still does not - I am now using Chrome which does not seem to suffer the same issues as Firefox - goodbye Mozilla, you have been so good to me in recent years.
An additional feature of Safe Mode, is that it disables hardware graphic acceleration. You could try in 'normal' mode as follows.
You need to restart Firefox for it to take effect, so save any work first (e.g. you compose mail, documents online that you are editing, etc.).
Orange Firefox button or classic menu Tools > Options > advanced
In the mini ' General' tab, uncheck the box for "use hardware acceleration when available.
If you restart Firefox, the problem is solved?

I have Windows Vista Home Premium. I was on the internet when my computer screen turned blue and a message told me that a problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down. He said that I had tried to do something with memory executable not executable (I don't have a note of the code). He said as he poured out memory. Now, whenever I start, the blue screen of death gives me different messages and different error codes. Today, he says:
IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
and codes of error STOP: 0x0000000A (0x0000001B, 0 x 00000600, 0x810A90B0, 0x00000001).
PC World say that they need to reinstall Windows, but I have some really really important files on there that I have not supported (I know, really stupid on my part) and they said they cannot guarantee their recovery. Is there another way to fix it?
I've been on the forums and suggestions involve me to be able to connect to my computer. Blue screen hits me before I can log on, and there is no prompt to start in safe mode.
Thank you very much!
Try this to save your data:
Data recovery:
1. slave of your hard drive in another computer and read/save your data out there.
2. put your Hard drive in a USB hard drive case, plug it into another computer and read/save from there.
3 Alternatively, use Knoppix Live CD to recover data:
http://www.Knopper.NET/Knoppix/index-en.html
Download/save the file Knoppix Live CD ISO above.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm
Download the Vista software from the link above.
After installing above ISO burning software, right click on the Knoppix ISO file > copy the Image to a CD.
Knoppix is not installed on your PC; use only the resources of your PC, RAM, graphics etc.
Change the boot order in YOUR computer/laptop to the CD/DVD Drive 1 in the boot order.
Plug a Flash Drive/Memory Stick, BOOT with the Live CD, and you should be able to read the hard drive.
When the desktop loads, you will see at least two drive hard icons on the desktop (one for your hard drive) and one for the USB key.
Click on the icons of hard drive to open and to understand which drive is which.
Click the icon for the USB drive and click on "Actions > Change the read/write mode" so you can write to disk (it is read-only by default for security reasons).
Now to find the files you want to back up, just drag and drop them on the USB. When you're done, shut down the system and remove the USB key.
See you soon.

There is no EnginSearch search bar in the top right of the page and none appears when I try to restore the default values or manage search engines. To return to the search bar, I usually have to reset Firefox or start in safe mode, but this doesnm looking for a solution to this problem.
It is a conversion tool - Vixy Freecorder. Not sure if that was the cause, but I uninstalled and not had any problems since.

MacBook air does not start in safe mode
Hello
I have a MacBook air 2015 and my disk got full and now I can not connect with my user. The progress bar stuck at 100%, and the system won't let me connect. I have read that I need to start in safe mode but I can't do it. My MacBook does not sound at startup and even if I press the SHIFT key the system takes me to safe mode. The only thing I can do is to go into recovery mode.
Can someone tell me please in the right direction.

XP SP3 update causes computer to only start in safe mode
My daughter had XP IE8 running on his computer, site update Windows XP SP3 download. I downloaded and installed, however it won't start in safe mode. When I remove SP3, the computer loads normally. I then uninstalled IE8 (went back to IE6), made sure I had the pre-requistes, followed the steps as outline on the microsoft site, downloaded SP3 again and installed. It will only re-start in safe mode. I tried everything, no matter what I do, XP SP3 causes the computer to restart in safe mode only. I'm totally frustrated. Can someone help me?

Satelite A660 freezes at startup every time, but start in safe mode.
The other day I was using my laptop normally when it froze. Nothing would work, so I stopped and have not been able to market normally since. It will start in safe mode but not in safe mode with network. If I try to boot normally it freezes right at the same time at the start of each time.
I tried:
-Select "repair your computer" when starting the
-Restoration of the BIOS to the default settings
-Disable start programs in safe mode
-Restore the system to a previous date
-Back to the last successful startupNone of them work. It just freezes.
I can't use the good conditions, not too computer savvy... I even tried to return the computer to factory settings, as recommended on the site of Toshiba, but when you press 0 a screen pops up that doesn't seem to have anything to do with the system restore?
I am at a loss. Any help would be appreciated.
Hello
Everything you tried is right. It is not easy to say why you have this problem of gel, but I think that in this situation best solution is the installation of clean operating system (factory settings).
In s user guides document explains how to do this. I put t know why don't you use 0 to start.

recently, my computer of windows 8 has a virus... (miss click an ad pop up and it's on the computer)
I already got Malewarebytes Anti Maleware and installed AVG, but this virus that bypassed and infected my computer. I tried the standard F8 during startup to go into safe mode and run my anti virus scanners, but apparently it does not work in windows 8. Some say SHIFT F8, that does not work either. Also any other method of setting up safe menu starting boot or mode does not work as it should connect on the desktop to go threw the settings and activate it for the next boot upward. This does not work for me since the virus I have apprently made my fall display driver, after I get my user password to start the desktop computer, so I don't see anything but the pointer of the mouse, everything is black. Y at - it another way to start in safe mode or trigger a recovery system or restore without actually being on the desktop?
Why windows might change?
I already ordered a recovery disk as that seemed to be my only option. But the works of windows 8 way I will NEVER buy a computer with it again. Cannot start in safe mode and can't do the simplest task without being a great test. It's crazy. I thought that windows 8 was supposed to be simple and easy to use!
Please reset your PC. The procedure is given in the link below:

If this does not help, recovery of the system to the factory settings. Consult the following document:

Re: Toshiba L305 Satellite 1) screen is messed up and only start in safe mode
* HELP! *
Windows starts only in safe mode or safe mode with network. My screen is messed up (black and gray with horizontal lines and the screen looks like it scrolls continuously).
I connected the laptop to an external monitor and it still does not start normally and I need to recover contacts from my iphone from itunes.
Is there something I can do? I really don't want to lose all my contacts! I have to remove the hard drive and it burst in another machine and try to start windows normally to have access to my current drive with all the data that is on it, but I don't know if it works or if it's a bad idea.
What could be causing the screen get all dirtied upwards and at the same time windows does not start normally? I have never had a virus before problems!

I know, I Safe mode, you have access to all data on the hard drive. So, you can move all the important data on USB or on the partition (if available) 2 nd on your hard drive and you don't need to remove the hard drive
Then you can reinstall Windows with a recovery disc or by using the disk copy of Win. This is the best solution in your case, try to fix windows can take a lot of time as a new installation.
