• laptop computer starts in safe mode, can't backup recovery, system used retore help

  My laptop starts in safe mode, I can't make systems, backup files recovery failed, do not have a vista disk to run vista, need help

  If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

  Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

  When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

  Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

  NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

  Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:

  ISO Burner:http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

  It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

  You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

  It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

  And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

  Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

  They will tell you how to do this.

  Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, Acer, recovery disk/s etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

• Set to start in safe mode, will not light

  My computer was working normally, no problem, no virus. I was troubleshooting a wireless connection problem and decided to try the safe mode, boot in safe mode. I tried to restart my computer in SafeMode with F8, but this does not work, it's just booted normally. Then I put manually the configuration to restart in safe mode (system configuration > boot > safe mode). After the attempt to restart the computer, it starts, but never turned on, nothing appears on the monitor. I tried several times, nothing. I also checked the material, that is not the issue. Powers of computer, tries to start, but nothing ever appears on screen.

  Computer running Windows 7 Pro

  No idea what could cause this, or how to solve without a clean installation?

  Try a system repair disc to start.  If you have not done one for you, you can do it on another Windows 7 computer as long as it matches the number of bits of yours (32 vs 64)

  You need a blank CD recordable.  Start, all programs, Maintenance, on the other PC.

  Insert the CD into your computer and start your PC, you must make sure that the PC actually uses the CD.  Which may require you to get a boot menu to select the CD player to do the marketing.  There's a key (on a Dell computer it's F12) you need to press when your computer starts to prepare and presents the start menu.  It varies depending on the brand of the PC.  You should see on your start screen briefly as he begins to launch.

  Once you have started on this CD, it will offer alternatives to repair the computer.  The one to which you probably need is to restore to an earlier date.  It does no data, only programs.

• Windows xp does not start in safe mode how to

  Computer says windows did not start successfully and does not start in safe mode, will not restart, do not go back to the last known good configuration

  When you choose to start safe mode, which is the last thing you see on the screen?

  When you arrive at the menu of Boot Options Advanced F8, you need to choose in this menu, 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.

  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?

• Firefox crashes immediately on startup. Won't start in safe mode.

  If this is not for my personal system, but a colleague. Our company force installation of some software updates, and he had a forced installation arrives for a Firefox version 38 ESR. The installation completes successfully, and he was not able to run Firefox since then. We have tried to uninstall/reinstall to level 39 (including by deleting the directory under Program Files (x 86). We also tried to restart after each step, do not restart after each step, update of Firefox did not help either, and "Reset" is not available. We can open in safe mode and disable the Add-ons, but then it crashes again once we restarted in normal mode. This morning we tried to install level 38 instead of 39, but get the same results. Help?

• 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 startup

  None 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.

• My 8 victory... infected with the virus cannot start in safe mode...

  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!

• After Malware that my login is disabled cannot start in safe mode

  Hi if anyone can help.

  A friend tried to watch movies online, I'm not sure of the site they visited, but were asked to install MacKeeper and I believe that they did, as I noticed it was to download and installed the following day and I asked them why they did this and they said it was the only way to watch movies!

  Anyway to cut a long story short my friend then called me to say they received a "pop" window to say that my computer has a virus and call a number of 1800... I told them to do nothing certainly not call the number and I would like to sort.

  So basically since then that then I can not connect to my main account at the start, the section where you type your password won't let me type into it and there is a symbol of the brand of 'question' next to it. If I hold my mouse over the question mark I get a dialog box stating "Please enter your password to iCloud as... as well as the date. I can only login as a guest and I cannot connect in 'safe' mode by holding down the SHIFT key.

  I deleted the MacKeeper Application (and also another OS player application that is newly installed the same day!) and empty the memory cache of my browsers and also now upgraded to 10.11.6

  I also run disk utilities, but still I'm getting this problem trying to connect to my main user account!

  I think that it is some kind of malware, does anyone have ideas how to solve at least the connection problem?

  If I could stamp out to see if there is any malware stuff going on behind the scenes it would be too great!

  All suggestions welcome.

  Thanks, Ciaran

  

  How did you uninstall the MacKeeper application? Please be as specific as possible, unless you have followed the steps, I suspect that your system has installed to uninstall. If this is the case then you will need to re-install and uninstall immediately by following the instructions of developers. Otherwise, the best thing to do is to do a wipe and installing OS X and then manually install your applications and restore your data from your Time Machine backup.

  I'm sure you probably learned to not let this 'friend' enter the 100' of your computer.

• After having upgraded to Firefox 24 it now won't start at all after clicking on the icon. My OS is Windows Vista premium. It will start in safe mode.

  Upgrade to Firefox 24 and now nothing works at all despite uninstall it and reinstall several times and lose all my favorites etc. However, it does not start in safe mode. At first, I thought it was my Norton 360 Security, but after 2 hours in contact with them, I'm still in the same position. When I double click on the Firefox icon I see the moment where the cursor and then it disappears and nothing loads.

  My OS is Windows Vista Premium and I use Windows internet explore for the time.

  I am new to this forum and have probably been posted in the wrong place. I have 3 computers with xp (2 with oem Dell). A computer would lock at black screen but would go in safe mode, then it would not go into safe mode, then the second computer did the same thing.  I tried restoring the system on the first computer before it would not start in safe mode that didn't work. The second computer is locked then it would not run even in safe mode. I can start with a 3rd party disk and view readers but cannot run virus programs... I don't have a disc that allows to repair xp because the 2 I have xp only installs to the original installation and I lose all my files and programs. If someone could help it would be appreciated.

  Start normally

  Fastboot Protocol

  Core recovery

  Forced collection

  However, I'm unable to go with the volume buttons.

  After the Tablet starts in safe mode, and I noticed that the volume keys up and down do not work.

  Is there something I can do?

  Complete model number: Slate 7 more 4200eg

  It shouldn't do.

  Take a read of this document from HP. I have recommended to perform a factory reset.

  If the factory reset does not help, then it is definitely time to Contact HP or the dealer where you bought your 7 Slate.
