  • Win XP Pro SP3 hangs when starting.

    My copy of close to ten years of Windows XP Pro served me well... it has been updated a number of pious UN time (and that was just the first few days after I first bought!) is the current state of the SP3.  I've never had a problem with the start of the BONE, until two days ago.  He simply refused to start.  There had not been updated, there had not been any virus, (Norton 360 first version 5, SpyBot Search and Destroy, AVG Security Suite Pro) full... it worked and works well, I stopped him and when I went to restart, it is hanging in the first screen of Windows XP (black one who lights up for a few seconds and scan blue dots everywhere under the name "Windows XP").

    I was able to restart in safe mode, no problem.  I then went through all the lists of things to try that I could find on here and any other support area of Microsoft.  Clean boot didn't work, start diagnosis does not work, no matter how configure msconfig, the result was the same. hang in the first XP screen.  I found an article that said to use the Windows installation disc and do a "set up"... essentially replace the operating system without affecting any of the other programs or data on the disk.  I did this, and of course, it still hangs on the first XP screen.  The kicker is NOW, I can start is no longer in safe mode, because it comes in saying that it is a 'NEW' XP installation and as such must be activated before first use... and because activation cannot be done in safe mode, please restart the computer in normal mode and proceed with the activation...

    IF I COULD START THE COMPUTER IN NORMAL MODE, I WOULD HAVE NOT HAD TO REINSTALL THE OPERATING SYSTEM AND SHOULD NOT ACTIVATE OR HERE BEGGING FOR HELP!

    Hi RonaldHaywood,

    It looks like the Windows XP installation is damaged and that the only option is to reinstall Windows XP on the computer after saving the data.

    You will need to take the computer to a store local tech to save data and then perform the clean installation.

    Install, reinstall, or uninstall Windows

  • I can not find msconftg on my phone samsumg

    I can't find msconfig on my Samsung laptop

    Hi Cecil,.

    The answer should be in option 1 below, but I wanted to extend your question to cover alternatives that you may find interesting, I use and like me, can discover that they can be much better at doing what MSCONFIG (or possibly solve all the problems, you must learn how to MSCONFIG beyond simply the method to achieve this.

    There are at least three ways to manage the startup programs (maybe more, but these are enough). I use all three, depending on the circumstances.

    1. go to start / all programs / accessories / run and type msconfig.exe, and then enter. Go to the Startup tab and you can check or uncheck the programs to run at startup. The disadvantages are that you get little information about the programs and you cannot add programs that aren't already there to register.  If this does not work, try to use an administrator account to access if you are not already.  Finally, start safe mode and try to use it from there as a last resort of semi.  If you still can't not to him, your choice is to try the diagnosis of the situation (because it is perhaps a sign of other problems) or find an alternative such as those listed below.  If you choose to help out them, then return as there are many possible causes and so many steps to take.

    2 download for free WinPatrol: http://www.winpatrol.com/download.html and you have not control these programs, but you can also add new ones, AND what I like best, you can allow it to run in the background and it will warn you if something is trying to add to your knowledge, the start menu (as sometimes happens with some downloads and installations). You don't have to use this feature if you do not want, but I find most convenient. It also provides information more than msconfig.  You don't need the paid PRO version, but I had the chance to get on a special sale of $0.99 and so it was worth it (which I didn't really know until I saw the additional features), but at regular price, I normally do not recommend paying for such products and would use the next option for this level of information instead (but then she will cover most, if not all the details it won't work no real time for you warn of changes as they occur).  But you don't have that, then I recommend the free version unless an another such sale is happening (but the developer said that the last one would be the last of them - is not similar to reappear).  The PRO version is also much more powerful, it must be much more careful with what you can accidentally delete something that you will like that you didn't.

    3. download the Autoruns for free: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx. It is the gold standard to control startup programs and everything started with lots of details and options and different points of view. The danger here is that it is so good and powerful, if you're not careful, you can remove something you really want to remove and your pipe system (but if you pay attention and see proof of caution and don't change anything, unless you know EXACTLY what you are doing and the ramifications to do) ", you'll be fine).

    I rarely use msconfig. I use mostly WinPatrol. When I'm really in cleaning things up and need to know exactly what a seed and start-up, then I click on Autoruns to get all the details I need.

    This will cover managing processes and startup and startup and programs all that much better. And if you choose to WinPatrol execution only on request and not in time real analysis (as I do), then none of them take all resources except if you use them.

    I hope this helps answer your question and gives you options you did not even ask but can find much better (as I do).

    Good luck!

  • How to get out the mode safe mode with msconfig.

    I'm working on my computer and need to start in safe mode. I ran the msconfig and reboot the laptop. I get to the login screen, but when I get my username and password it tells me that the user name and password is not correct. How to get out the mode safe mode with msconfig.

    When you run msconfig to get set to Safe Mode, you just activate/check the option/SafeBoot at startup. INI tab or did you do something else?

    There is some malware that if you use the/SafeBoot option, you will not be able to use your system again until you remove the switch/SafeBoot the boot.ini for you can boot normally.

    Maybe it's not your exact problem, but I will never suggest to anyone to use the option / SafeBoot never again - too risky when troubleshooting since you can always start new or will never connect again until you remove the switch/SafeBoot.

    Anywho, if that's what you have done, you can start in the XP Recovery Console and then either make a new boot.ini file containing the switch/SafeBoot or simply rename the boot.ini file, you have something like boot.ini.old if you don't have a boot.ini file (I know it seems like a weird idea).

    In a single partition configuration, XP is not even a file boot.ini to boot.  XP will complain if there is no boot.ini file, but will always start very well without one (non-believers - try it!).

    After you get booted up and logged in, you can rename boot.ini.old in boot.ini and run msconfig to remove the option/SafeBoot, and never use it again.

  • How to remove startup programs in "msconfig".

    First of all, care. Windows 7 Home Premium, SP1, 64-bit.

    I'm not having the problem to disable startup programs, but trying to remove them from the list available to a start-up program. Some of these programs (the executable file of the command and its location) no longer exist on my system. Is there a way to remove these items in the startup list, and if so, how?

    Unfortunately the only real way to do this is through the registry editor.

    If you look at the line for the entry to remove it will track the path of the registry which organizes the statement. You need access to this location and delete the entry.

    As always sophisticated editing that the registry should be done with caution and a backup taken 1. If you are not sure then do not.

    There is a caveat. If you deleted the line (not checked it) then it will not be there. In order to stop this loading MsConfig moves the entry to an inactive backup key. In order to find the location, you will need to make the current line.

    Because it has been moved it not treated during startup so other than to try to keep well stored, there is no specific does delete the line. Indeed, if the line points to a nonexistent file or a path then there no same effect if left. Registry of treatment so much more optimized in Windows 7 and entered orphan have no measurable effect on boot time. Delays of timeout that occurred were resolved.

    How does influence Services.MSC Msconfig.exe?

    .. a small example to better understand my question: p
    Why when in Service.msc, I disabled Acrobat Update Service (for example), the service in Msconfig.exe still is checked in the service menu?
    It is marked as stopped however.
    Service process uncheck = unchecking in Services.MSC in Msconfig.exe?
    Reboot was done of course.

    Thanks, please help!

    The result would be the same.  The best practice would be to use the disable services continuously, change the startup type, or start services and Services using MsConfig just for troubleshooting.

    To see what is happening in real time, life is to try MsConfig and Services, including all necessary reboots etc (if you wish).

    Services can be affected through the registry too.  There are often several ways of doing things in Windows to get the same result.
