How can I start/re-start Windows professional XP in safe MODE

How can I start/re-start Windows professional XP in safe MODE? Aid filw I get only instructed on XP Home Edition and the buttons and it tells you to follow the guests do not appear in the professional edition. I need the instructions for Pro.  Can someone help me with this?

Original title: Safe Mode

You can start either home or Pro in SafeMode by this technique...

Keep F8 hitting twice a second immediately after you have switched on the PC. You should get a boot menu where safe mode is selectable using the up/down arrow keys.

Or, use the msconfig utility. When you do it this way, Windows starts in SafeMode permanently until you reverse the changes in msconfig...

  • Click Start
  • Click on run
  • Type msconfig and press enter
  • Click on the CHEST. INI tab
  • Check the box for/SafeBoot
  • Click OK
  • Restart the PC when prompted

  • I can't start windows normally or in safe mode. I can't fix with the cd.

    It shows me the following error * STOP: oxoooooo7B (0xF78DA63C, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000) and she advised me to check a lot of different things, but since I can't boot into windows I can't do. Can someone help me, please?

    • You have problems with programs: windows xp sp3
    • Error messages: * STOP: oxoooooo7B (0xF78DA63C, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)
    • Recent changes made to your computer: no
    • What you have already tried to solve the problem: fix with the windows cd

    You have indicated that you have not changed anything on your machine recently. Not auto-updates, no software, no hardware changes?

    If nothing changed, it's most likely a problem with your hard drive. If there is data that you need to retrieve the disk, you will need to connect it to another computer (which starts from another drive), and then see if it goes up the player and lets get down your data. If you do not have another machine available to connect the reader to draw your data you can buy a new drive and installs windows on it then connect the wrong disc and remove the data. Once you have the data off you can reformat the hard disk and reinstall windows and then copy your data on it. If this does not work, you can have a bad drive. If it is still under warranty, you can check with the manufacturer to determine what are the RMA procedures.

    If it is not under warranty, or if you do not want to disturb the repairs, and you can't make it work with the operating system you can still be able to use it as a data drive but do not depend on it too strongly because it most likely just eventually come out completely.

    IF you couldn't get your data, and it is absolutely essential for you to have, you may need to contact a company specialized in data recovery. They are usually pretty good at it but make sure you use a good knowledge/reputable company.

    Go to the website of your computer manufacturer > find specifications of hardware in your computer (hard drive) > access the Web Hard Drive from the manufacturer site > download their diagnostic software > make a Bootable disc > test your hard drive.

  • Cannot start Windows 'Normally' or in 'Safe Mode '.

    A lot of problems with USB drivers, I found an answer in the forums here, who directed me to the site to download the appropriate drivers for my chipset from Intel.  Download seemed to go OK; When asked "reboot now?" I selected Yes.  In about 30 seconds, I had a window (similar to the command prompt) asking if I wanted to start the computer in the last good known?  He also had options to start in Safe Mode, Safe Mode with networking, and Safe Mode with command prompt.  I first tried to start normally, but without success.  I then tried the other option (several times), none were successful.  I turned off the computer using the power button and then it starts again, but nothing helped.  The four options have failed once again.  The main thing is I'm unable to get the computer started in any Mode, so that I might be able to fix the problem.  I'm afraid I might have to reinstall Windows, once again.  The computer is running Windows XP Home Edition, SP 3.  I use my wife's cell phone to access the forums.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Well, if you some drivers day and now have a problem in your Startup Options menu, you must first choose the option best suited for these kinds of my system does not start after an update types of problems:

    Last good known Configuration

    Last good known Configuration is the configuration XP saved the last time that Windows starts successfully and choosing that option can allow you to start long enough to undo (roll back) what that either got your first distressed system.

    If the system starts with the last known good Configuration, uninstall (restore) the update of the afflicted driver and get the right drivers for your system.

    If you still can't boot from your Startup Options menu, choose the option:

    Disable the automatic restart in the event of system failure

    Then you can see a Blue Screen of Death with information that will help solve your problem.

    Here's a BSOD example showing information you provide:

  • How can I connect on my laptop, but not in safe mode?

    Comcast told me that I should never open my Dell laptop in safe mode.  I don't know how to change this mode.  Can you help me?  The laptop is so slow (only 3 years) and takes 15 minutes to raise even start working.  Thank you

    not sure why comcast said here.

    Perhaps, there is a set communication.

    in any case, there are a number of things you can do to speed up the computer and the test computer is safe mode is a good idea.

    so go ahead and boot your computer and wait for the desktop to load.

    You must also make sure that the ethernet cable is unplugged or the phone line is disconnected the modem before you start the computer.

    After loading the desktop computer, click Start > run > .msconfig

    (type and enter above msconfig)

    Then go to the Startup tab and check the box start secure, then reboot and the machine will launch safe mode.

    (by the way, to return to normal mode, repeat the steps to open msconfig and uncheck secure boot)

    now that you're in safe mode, test the computer.

    If works better, then we can perform a "clean boot" for operations in normal mode.

  • I can't start windows, it says system32\config\system is damaged or missing I tried consol recovery and boot to the top of the cd

    I can't start windows, it says system32\config\system is damaged or missing I tried the recovery console and

    boot from the cd that it won't start any ideas?

    I cannot directions all of the Support Engineer.  It's just a Bing search engine and a link to an article.

    You need to work with someone who has actually really seen and corrected this questions a few thousand times in the real world.

    You must first start by entering in the XP Recovery Console and running a chkdsk/r from there.

    If you do not have a genuine XP bootable installation CD from which you cn safe in the XP Recovery Console or you are not sure that you have a bootable CD, make a bootable CD of XP (no XP media required) Recovery Console and run chkdsk /r there.

    Here's how:

    The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination? (This includes the plug pulling, buttons power and removing the battery).

    These can cause corruption in the file system that must be fixed before you do anything else.

    If none of these events occurred (or even if they have not taken place), you must verify the integrity of your file system before anything else (especially "try" things).

    There is zero logic to begin to try to begin to try to modify or copy files to a hard drive that has a corrupted file system, so this must first be fixed using the XP chkdsk program and run chkdsk on your hard drives may solve your problem completely.

    Use the XP Recovery Console to check the file system on your HARD drive and fix the problems and then try to start your system - this may be all you need to do.  Or, you are welcome to just start trying things that might work.

    Boot into the Recovery Console Windows using an XP bootable installation CD.

    If you have no XP bootable media (or aren't sure you have) create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console and do not forget.

    This is not the same as recovery disks that might have come with the acquisition of the system store.

    You can make a bootable Recovery Console CD by downloading an ISO file and burn it to a CD.

    The ISO bootable image file you need to download is called:

    xp_rec_con. ISO

    Download the ISO from here:

    http://www.mediafire.com/?ueyyzfymmig

    Use a new CD and this simple and free program to burn your ISO file and create your bootable CD:

    http://www.ImgBurn.com/

    When you install ImgBurn, DO NOT install the Ask toolbar.

    Here are some instructions for ImgBurn:

    It would be a good idea to test your bootable CD on a computer running.

    You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD-ROM drive as the first device to boot instead of the hard drive.  These adjustments are made before Windows tries to load.  If you miss it, you will need to restart the system again.

    When you start on the CD, follow the instructions:

    Press any key to boot from CD...

    Installing Windows... going to pronounce.

    Press 'R' to enter the Recovery Console.

    Select the installation that you want to access (usually 1: C:\WINDOWS)

    You may be asked to enter the password (usually empty).

    You should be in the folder C:\WINDOWS.  It's the same as the

    C:\Windows folder that you see in Solution Explorer.

    The Recovery Console allows base as file commands: copy, rename, replace, delete, chkdsk, fixboot, fixmbr, cd, etc.

    For a list of the commands in the Recovery Console, type help at the prompt of commands or read on here XP Recovery Console:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/recovery_console_cmds.mspx?mfr=true

    A good idea before you start things must first verify the integrity of your file system by using the chkdsk command.

    In the command prompt window, run the chkdsk command on the drive where Windows is installed to try to fix any problems on the afflicted player.

    Running chkdsk is fine, even if he finds no problem.  It won't hurt anything to run it.

    Assuming your boot drive is C, run the following command:

    CHKDSK C: /r

    Let chkdsk finish to correct the problems, he could find.

    It may take a long time for chkdsk complete or they seem to be "stuck".  Be patient.  If the HARD drive led blinks always, chkdsk is something.  Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress.  It may even seem to go back sometime.

    You must run chkdsk/r again until it finds no error to correct.

    Remove the CD, and then type "exit" to exit the RC and restart the computer.

    You have not to set the BIOS to boot the disk HARD since the CD won't be.

  • Messed up graphics card, now I can't start windows. .

    Messed up graphics card, now I can't start windows. said the plug to the/windows/system32/system address, or something like that, is missing or corrupted. said to run the installation disk, I don't have it. Needhelp, VERY VERY important files on my drive.

    Installing ubuntu natty to edit files, but I would have my back configuration, all that. anyway to fix it?

    NEVER begin to solve this problem with KB307545, and if you have no disk, you won't get a lot anyway.

    I guarantee engineers from Microsoft technical support that I can recreate this problem to approximately, half break you in 1 minute your XP CD and then you put challenge to fix it without the help of KB307545.  It is unlikely that the manufacturer will send you an XP installation disc.

    Looking at HP/Compaq, Dell and IBM just today, they say generally that they have stopped shipping XP CD in 2005 (6 years ago) and you can't order them on their website or through the support.  But sometimes you can get a part number and buy a CD to install XP from third-party suppliers to find research on the Internet.  Prices range from $49 to $ 200 USD.

    Knowing this, maybe it's time to STOP suggesting how to contact the vendor for installation of XP Media?  It's a good 'out' when you don't know what to do, but this isn't a useful suggestion.

    It could facilitate a resolution of the problem faster with less cycles message if you are trying to tell us you see the exact error message.

    Is this something like this:

    Windows XP could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM

    If you want to use Ubuntu or something similar to copy your important files to a safe place, it is a good idea, but you should always be able to repair your XP system.

    What you need to do is to make a bootable CD of XP (no XP media required) Recovery Console to run chkdsk /r on your system.  Here's how:

    The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination? (This includes the plug pulling, buttons power and removing the battery).
