  • Windows XP restarts all the time; does not start mode safe mode and last known Configuration does not work either

    Hello! Recently, I installed Wubiand appreciates well. However, a few days ago, when I tried to boot XP on my netbook (EEE PC 1005hab), it restarts just constantly return to the selection screen of the BONES. I tried Safe Mode and last good Configuration known with anything will do. What should I do now? Ubuntu has not stopped working suddenly, so I can't access my data.

    I don't have to have a Windows XP CD, there is something weird Asus recovery instead. In addition, it is a netbook so I don't have an optical drive to run the recovery CD. I'm doing a Livecd of Linux USB so I can back up my data... but I can do but reinstall at this point?

    Thank you.

    The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD drive (even an external).

    You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

    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, it 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 pressing the F8 key with more urgency (earlier and more frequently) until you see disable automatic restarts on system failure, and then select it.

    You must keep trying the F8 menu until you see disable automatic restart on system failure option, and select it.

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

    Do, or do not. There is no test.

    I need YOUR voice and the points for helpful answers and propose responses. I'm saving for a pony!

  • How can I disable Mode safe permanently?

    I am one of the many people who use an addon for Firefox called "Leechblock" to help fight against the tendency to waste time online by visiting sites are time consuming, or in my case - visiting pornographic sites. LeechBlock helped, because it allowed me to ban the sites and search for terms that usually, I'd go. The only problem is that I know now I can bypass all of the ban by pressing 'Shift' when I click on FIrefox and the opening of Safe Mode, this allows me to freely search for porn and/or disable the addon.

    I know that many other people use Leechblock in the same goal, and we all are facing this - if we could disable Safe mode on our own version of Firefox, it would take considerably more effort to return and return to those bad habits.

    Others showed how to turn off Safe Mode, but they only worked with older versions of Firefox. What is someone with experience able to devote a little time to understand and explain to the non-technical user how to proceed on the latest version of Firefox?

    Your help would be very appreciated, not only by me, but by others with the same question. Thank you!

  • Instructions to get out of Safe Mode may not work (reboot, reset), then how the heck out of Mode safe?

    Tonight, I went in Firefox for the first time at least two years. When I tried to open the version of Firefox, I got in my Applications, it is opened in Mode safe.

    So I downloaded the latest version of Firefox open, and it automatically retrieved my old favorites. However, the download open mode without failure.

    I have pores through the help files and tried a few suggestions required out of Safe Mode. I closed and reopened Firefox, choosing Reset. That did not work.

    I closed Firefox and restarted my computer. Then I opened Firefox. It opened in Mode safe and gave me no alternative.

    I only went in Firefox, because I couldn't access the router configuration page Cisco/Linksys (198.162.1.1) following the instructions I gave to me. I guess Chrome might have had a problem, so I decided to try Firefox. But I can never know if Firefox might have gotten me in the configuration page of the router, I have to go, because I'm stuck in Mode without failure.

    While I strongly agree with nature without non-profit, open-source Firefox, I remember why I stopped using Firefox a long time ago: it is narrow in its help functions, and it takes too much knowledge of the user.

    So, I'm stuck, and I can never get this router put in place, as I am in desperate need of.

    I doubt that I will check in the forum, because I do not think there is any point. If I can't even get out of Safe Mode - and I don't know how it happened in Mode safe, because there certainly were no accidents in the years more doubled in the course of which I haven't used Firefox - it is useless to attempt to use this browser. If you want to contact me, you can do so through the email address I registered with.

    Have you checked the target line in the shortcut to the Firefox desktop (right click: properties) to ensure that there not - safe-mode switch of attached command line?

    Also make sure that you are not now the SHIFT key or use a hotkey with only the Shift modifier.

    You won't get past step 1 of KB307654 or install the Recovery Console or do a repair install without a real XP bootable installation CD that matches your currently installed Service Pack (very unlikely).

    You have a real installation CD bootable XP that corresponds to your currently installed Service Pack?

  • I don't have a navigation bar and firefox does not open in safe mode to return to the default configuration. Does not work reinstall. Any help please.

    I have no navigation bar since I closed it to have more space on the screen. It will not re - open. Firefox does not open in safe mode, but immediately opens in normal mode with the new configuration incorrect, so I can't reset to default configuration. I deleted Firefox and re-installed and it always opens with the same faulty configuration. Why doesn't Firefox give me the safe mode dialog box, why can I not re - open the navigation bar, and how I can do those two things, please? Firefox is currently unusable for me without a navigation bar with no access to the default settings in safe mode. I can't search the extensions that I use since I have no navigation bar to go to tools, modules, Extensions.

    This has happened

    Each time Firefox opened

    I closed the navigation bar to make more space on the screen and I could not re - open.

  • USB ports no-opperational in the Windows 7 environment, does not start mode command line safe

    Quick description: experienced difficulty trying to reformat a HD problem. It has been suggested that I have download the diagnosis of the manufacturer. Did. Restarted the computer as required to run the new program. After reboot, no USB port work Windows. Considering that all my USB inputs, it is extremely annoying. Input devices still work on other computers and still work during the start upward (before windows), also does not open in safe mode with the command prompt.

    I tried to reformat a LaCie HD that was previously used for a Mac for PC usage. Gave me a code 43 error and a problem code: 0000002B. Had a bad"block" in the HD somewhere read that I should try to use the manufacturer diagnostic tools to check the HD on.» Downloaded the "LaCie Update Tool" and installed it. It took a reboot. After the reboot, any USB devices worked. (Will begin another thread on the HD as soon as I have this problem.)

    Tried to restart in Mode without failure. Then the Safe Mode with the command of the DVD prompt. (However, I'm not 100% sure that I'm loading from the DVD, I couldn't find a good answer on how to do something so basic.) Always seems to load in the window 7 - always end upwards the newspaper account on screen - certainly no command prompt.

    The keyboard and mouse work on other systems and the keyboard works fine before the Windows 7 screen (the selection of mode that starts in) so I'm pretty sure that it is a Windows 7 problem. Can't really get in the error codes that I can't enter anything now or move the cursor at all. (I'll try to borrow a non-USB keyboard and mouse).

    After a reboot when it asks me what I want to start the computer in safe mode or normal windows 7, loading the drivers, it stops at:

    \windows\system32\DRIVERS\CLASSPNP. SYS

    I don't know if this is normal or the system stuck.

    I tried a manual reset of the motherboard and deleted manually the CMOS on the motherboard did not help - but don't expect really.

    I think I need to run a disk check / fix from the command prompt, but I can't even at the command prompt to the top.

    Thanks to anyone who takes the time to answer, a lot of satisfaction in advance.

    My system:

    Windows 7 64 bit

    ADM Phenom 955 Black Edition Quad

    ASUS 890FXA-UD5

    Microsoft USB wireless keyboard and mouse

    Less relevant stuff: ADATA DDR3 1600 G XPG 2 X 2 GB, Sapphire Radeon 4670 1 GB, Western Digital Caviar Black 640 GB HD, ASUS DVD/CD drive (DRW 24B1st) Corsair TX 750 W

    The Repair Mode command prompt supports USB devices. Here is how you get there:

    1. put your BIOS so that it uses the DVD drive as its primary boot device.
    2 start the computer with your Windows 7 repair CD.
    3. press a button if you are prompted to start from the DVD.
    4. Select repair when prompted.
    5. Select the keyboard language when you are prompted.
    6. When you are prompted, select command prompt.
    In step 2, you can also use the Windows 7 installation DVD. The subsequent steps are similar to those above.

    The process described above is independent of everything that is on your hard drive. If your USB devices still do not work then you probably have a motherboard problem. If it is a desktop computer then you could by a 4 port USB card.

    If you get an account and password for the boot process then you dΘmarrez not from the CD/DVD. I've seen a number of messages in which people reported that they were unable to boot from the CD/DVD drive. Here are the most common reasons for these failures:
    -L' poster neglected the prompt to press a key to boot from the CD/DVD drive.
    -The CD/DVD boot was not a boot disk or was damaged. Use it on another machine has confirmed this.
    -Some BIOS setting was incorrect. Start with some other boot CD/DVD (for example here: http://pogostick.net/~pnh/ntpasswd/) confirmed it.
    -The CD/DVD drive has been damaged or is unable to boot from a boot CD or DVD.
    -The machine has a hardware problem (for example, a motherboard problem) which prevents start in any mode.
