• 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.

• 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

• FFox loads VERY slowly, even with disabled modules, but has normal speed in safe mode. How to fix?

  All webpages to load slow and jerky. Same with the video. I tried refreshing FFox, disable all add-ons and uninstalling/reinstalling. None of this has worked. Then I tried safe mode and it worked: pages loaded normally. My OS is Windows 7 Professional. I used FFox for many years, but it is not usable with my current problem.

  Thank you!!

  Hi aaltman,
  Other people had the same problem before, maybe it's because of the settings in your firefox. Please look for the solution to your problem:

• Help every time I download Service Pack 3 for XP I have to System Restore my computer because I can't start windows normally. Can someone help me solve this problem?

  After I succesufully download service pack 3 and restart the computer, need me a black screen where I have the options of safe mode, safe mode with network, last known working configuration and start windows normally. Whenever I have select start normally or last known working configuration it takes back me to the same black screen. IM on safe mode with network now. im going to leave it until I can understand it.

  Yes, I have a HP with AMD processor

  I had a feeling. :-)
  See these two pages to your solution:

• After a power cut my PC is in a loop in the start windows normally, safe mode, last known good configuration screen

  After a power failure when I start my PC, it gets to the screen... "We apologize for the inconvenience, but windows did not start successfully... When I try to reboot in one of the 5 modes to start normally, safe mode, safe mode with command prompt SafeMode with network, last known Noah correct configuration of their work and the loops of the computer to this sreen repeatedly.

  KB307545 is a very bad idea to begin with - especially after a power failure (and it's usually just a very bad idea).  You don't describe symptoms suggestive of a need to run the KB307545, but, I'm not a Microsoft Support engineer so don't hesitate if you are forced to do, and I wish you good luck.

  What you need to do, is start in the XP Recovery Console and run chkdsk/r first.  Is is possible that the blackout damaged your NTFS file system and a chkdsk/r is to clean it.

  Provide information on your system, the better you can:

  What is your system brand and model?

  What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

  Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

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

  The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD (internal or external) drive?

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

  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 you want to see, he 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 tapping the F8 key with more urgency (earlier and more frequently) until you see disable automatic restart on system failure, and then select.

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

  If your system has a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD), we need to know what the screen says:

  Here's a BSOD example showing information you provide:

  http://TechRepublic.com.com/i/tr/downloads/images/bsod_a.jpg

  Send for the nose and the Red arrows (3 to 4 lines total).

  Send all * line STOP message since there are clues in the 4 parameters.

  If it looks like there is some kind of name listed in the STOP message file, send this line also.

  Ignore the boring text unless it seems important to you.  We know what a BSOD looks like, we need to know what your BSOD looks like.

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

  See what the BSOD said would be interesting, but I would still recommend that you run chkdsk /r from the XP Recovery Console to make sure your file system is not damaged.

  Answer the questions and we can see what to do next.

• my laptop keeps going to start page.__No regardless of which option to choose, that is to say. safe mode, safe mode, safe mode with command prompt, the last known good configuration, start windows normally, it's always the same

  my laptop keeps going to the start page. No matter which option I choose, IE. safe mode, safe mood with networking, safe mode with command prompt, last known, good configuration start windows normally, it always comes back to the same screen. saw this post before and the invloved boot cd solution. I have not a cd ROM is there another way to solve this problem. Thank you people

  Thank you for taking the time to make this post very informative, excellent. Without the machine test myself that I can't be sure, but based on the age of the computer and what you wrote I suspect for lack of material. It could be something simple like the hard drive or RAM or something more serious like the motherboard. I wouldn't recommend replacing any material on such an old laptop.

  As long as the hard disk has been physically, you can recover your data easily. If the hard drive has failed, then you will need to send the drive to a professional drive savers data recovery company. It is quite expensive ($500-3700), but they can usually recover your data. Some insurance policies cover also, professional data recovery in order to check with yours. But let's be optimistic. ;-)

  IMPORTANT - If there is no question that the drive is at fault - there are noises, for example - and the data is crucial NOTHING else ON THE DISC. Whenever launch you this player you can destroy data. If this is the case, send the drive to a professional data recovery company.

  I'll give you the information on how to test the hard drive to see if it's good physically and how to recover data when you can't in Windows but in doing these things requires a certain level of computer skills. You know yourself the best and that it would be better to take the laptop to a competent local professional. If you do this, do not use a type of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad of the place. Get recommendations from family, friends and colleagues.

  A. test equipment
  
  Test the hard drive with a diagnostic utility downloaded from site of the disc mftr. or use SeaTools for BACK of Seagate. You create a bootable CD with the files you download. You will need a third party burning software to do as the free ImgBurn, Nero or Roxio. Burn as an image, not in the form of data.

  http://www.ImgBurn.com

  http://www.Seagate.com/www/en-us/support/downloads/SeaTools/seatooldreg
  http://Seagate.custkb.com/Seagate/CRM/selfservice/search.jsp?docid=201271 (how-to)

  Boot with the CD that you have done and do a full test of the reader. You will probably need to change the boot order. Your Dell can give you a temporary boot menu if you press F12 as the computer starts. If so, use your arrow key to select the CD drive. Otherwise, press F2 to enter in Setup (BIOS) and change the order of boot on the CD drive first. If the disk fails all physical tests, it must be replaced. Although readers of the laptop cost around $60, you should really consider if it is to put money in such an old machine. You can replace the disk, but the laptop is definitely at the end of its normal life and something else is doomed to failure.

  There is information about the RAM test and other materials here:

  B. retrieve data detach a healthy disk when you are unable to Windows
  
  1 remove the drive and put it in a box of USB drive or use a USB adapter. Attach it to a computer that is running a working XP/Vista/Windows7 installation. Use the work of Windows Explorer to copy the data to the hard drive of the system to the rescue and burn data on cd or dvd.

  2. you can start the target computer with a Bart PE (if you use XP) or a Linux live CD like Knoppix and retrieve the data in this way. General information about the use of Knoppix for this are:

  You will need a computer with two cd records, which is an engraver of CD/DVD OR a USB stick with a capacity to hold your data OR an external USB hard disk formatted FAT32 (not NTFS) *. Download Knoppix .iso image file and create your bootable CD. If you do this in a previous (XP or Vista) operating system, you will need the third burning like Nero, Roxio or the free ImgBurn software (Windows 7 can burn .isos natively). Burn as an image, not in the form of data. Then boot with the CD that you created, and Knoppix will be able to see the files in Windows. If you use the USB key or an external hard disk, right-click on its icon (on the desktop) to get its properties and uncheck "read only". Then click on it to open it. Note that the mouse action by default in the window manager used by Knoppix (KDE) is a simple click to open instead of double-click traditional MS Windows. If you want to burn CD/DVDs, use the K3b program.

  * My understanding is that you can now write on NTFS from Linux partition. If you wish to do this, Google for instructions on the use of the NTFS driver.

• Windows does not shut down correctly, please choose an option (safe mode, safe mode with network, start windows normally

  Original title: battery

  When the battery dies on Windows 7 Home premium, what makes the look of the laptop screen as to everyone with the same computer? (IE black, dim and then black, dim and white and then black, Sun & blue, etc.)
  And you always get the "Windows did not shut down correctly, please choose an option (safe mode, safe mode with network, start windows normally)" Note?

  It could be a hardware problem, so it is best to contact DELL or a local technician if the problem persists.

  As a work around, I suggest to update the drivers of the computer display and check if it makes a difference.

  computer automatically starts in safe mode without prompting, a problem with your computer can prevent Windows to start normally

  Do you know when this problem started?  Try a system restore to a point in time BEFORE the problem started.  Here is the procedure: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-windows-vista-system-restore/.  Don't forget to check the box to show more than 5 days of restore points.  If the first attempt fails, then try an earlier point or two.  NOTE: You will need to re - install any software and updates that you have installed between now and the restore point, but you can use Windows Update for updates.

  If the system restore does not work, do a startup repair, boot from the disk Installation of Windows Vista genuine (or one that you can borrow from someone) or a recovery disc.  Here is the procedure: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html.  You may need to change the BIOS to do first the CD drive in the boot sequence to boot from the CD.  To do this, hold the screen that tells you the key F to push to enter the menu start or start of installation.  Push it quickly. Make the changes, save your work and exit.  Put the CD in the drive and reboot.  When you are prompted, press any key to boot from the CD.

• Satellite p205-s8811 won't start normally or in safe mode just automatically get a black screen

  I started my computer and start the recovery window came. I ran it and it has to solve the problem and computer ran very well. I stopped him and 6 hours more later powered on and the same thing. Startup recovery ran and solved the problem again.  When I looked in the log recovery startup errors he says that there are changes not specified for the configuration of the system. So I decied to do a system restore. The system restore ran, off, rebooted computer and when to start the toshiba system came on the screen. Then went black and never started window. For hard drive light was illuminated as normal, then slowed down, would be possible, and eventually it would flicker just a little more. The screen is black, but you can see the cursor. I pressed the switch to turn on, turn off, wait a little bit. Then turned on and got the screen to start normally, safe mode, safemode promt, European round table. I chose safe mode and it and all the config system starts to roll across the screen, then screen turned black and nothing else happened. So I tried again and chose to start windows normally, but the same thing. Toshiba comes through screen\, hard disk, running, but nothing but a black screen. I don't know if I app\drivers and recovery discs and don't know if it's even the fix. I could really use some help with this. I "ve been out of work for six months due to motorcycle wreck and do not have the funds for the nine. Plese I want to know if it's fixable. Thank you
