My system still needs last good known Configuration to restart

• In the Advanced Options Menu that I used to have a last good known Configuration to select who is gone?

  A while back I had to have my hard drive formatted and windows re-installed.  Advanced options, used to have a selection for the last good known Configuration. This selection is no longer there, but the other options as the safe mode and Boot normally.  This was a result of the hard drive being formatted? I'm more worried if this indicates a problem with the hard drive?

  I've since upgraded to Windows XP, which has the system restore, so I don't know if the last known Configuration Option is necessary.

  Let me be frank.

  This system is an old Windows 2000 upgraded to XP and it is low on RAM (384 MB) and low processor speed ~ 977 Mhz.

  If you are thinking about replacing/upgrading, it would be a wise investment.

  I know how to get emotionally attached to an older system, but one day you just I have to bite the bullet and get something more modern.

  You may he likes not at first and can hate him, but with some time and when you get your new system composed with your exact settings you like, you'll start to it.

  I've got 6 systems here who have bitten the teeth and never before seen power in months, but I can donate or use parts for someone who's biggest thrill in the world and what brings him smile in their face is playing Solitaire on a computer (or a visit to a dog... it's what I do sometimes).

  If you have problems with XP, I can help you with this better than I can, but your system specs are barely minimum for a good system in XP.  You could probably make it work, but it often curse you that you operate.

  That's just my opinion by observation.

• Last good known Configuration - Question and problem

  Hi, I have a problem about the last good known Configuration. my computer has an initial problem and I managed to get rid of this by copying the file hal.dll in my windows XP cd. but to cut the long story short, now everytime I turn on my computer, it loads a different (or perhaps old/incorrect) configuration of windows and that the default configuration of windows has a problem and I put the cpu and the new. in order to ensure that it loads correctly, I have to press F8, choose last known good configuration and choose the right configuration. I do this whenever I start my computer now. I wonder if there is a way to remove the incorrect configuration or set the right configuration default so that I don't have to keep hitting F8 every time I start my computer? Apart from the replacement of the hal.dll file, I also replaced the boot.ini file by following these steps: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixthe...airbootini.htm

  Hi JulianLin,

  It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

  I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.

  How to configure Windows XP to start in a "clean boot" State

  Reset the computer to start as usual

  When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

  (a) click Start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

  (b) If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

  (c) under the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.

  (d) when you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

• Cannot log on my laptop without hitting F5 (as the starter), F8 and then the last good known Configuration

  When I turn on my laptop, the login page happens, but when I enter my password, it just re-boots. Then, he returned to the login page, where it does the same thing. So, it just goes back to the login page again and again and again. I tried restoring the system repeatedly.

  The only way I can connect on my laptop is by pressing F5 when starting, F8 then, last known good Configuration. I do everytime I turn on my laptop! It is very annoying. If I download anything, it saves it, but whenever I upgrade my web browser, upgrade disappears the next time I turn on my laptop.

  Backup your data and do a Windows factory restore.

  Most laptops and many OEM desktop computers (HP, Sony, etc.) come with a picture of factory restore on a special partition on the hard drive. The factory restore process is normally called by pressing a key of function (such as F11) to start the computer. There will be a message as to what function key press the screen when you start your computer. You can also consult the manual of your computer or the computer mftr.'s site, or contact technical support to learn how to restore your computer if you plant from each computer mftr. He does it differently - sometimes even between models.

  These machines also generally have a utility to create physical recovery disks in case the hard drive needs to be replaced or the factory restore image is somewhat damaged. If you have not created the recovery image recovery physical and/or damaged disks, contact technical support of computer mftr. to order a set of recovery disks. It is normally very expensive, around $20-25. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

• re black screen: start: last good known Config, Windows starts normally begins to start and fails

  This screen offers safe mode options that I didn't choose. When I select to start Windows normally the computer starts to boot and I see the Windows Logo, then it switches to the Logo from my computer with 2 different keys of F and when I looked into it and I tried again, I got the black screen again with these options and it keeps cycling.

  I tried F8 and I don't know enough to navigate. Can I get help? My windows disc seems to be broken, so I'll try another disc. I ran it under Configuration now it says: for installation: format the Partition using the NTFS file system. I don't know how to repair Windows on mine.
  The disc seems to be higher my score 1 digit. It is Windows XP Home Edition. The Windows disk that is scratched is not this edition. I do not know what form of Windows is installed in my BONES.
  I move files off my hard drive when this problem occurred and I got a blue screen and the computer began to dump physical memory... I turned off my computer. Recently, I had the memory stick inside, but it starts normally after that I did until this happened, I thought that this can happen because I changed the memory stick... not sure

  Hello

  Are you trying to clean windows install? Do not pass without taking your databackup as format NTFS means it will erase all your data on the disk, you will have:

  Validate windows

  Reinstall windows update

  Install all required software

  Restore your data

  What, exactly, is the problem. Remove first the cd boot pc, at the prompt when it asks for safe mode - select Safe mode, connect to pc using administrator.

  Click Start-> run, type &-> chkdsk /f c :-> OK

  He may ask you to schedule the scan of the drive-> select Y for Yes, restart your computer.

  I hope this helps.

• Windows 7 does not start; Startup Repair won't work; Know last good configuration will not work

  Windows 7 64 bit machine. Automatic Windows updates were installed during the night; has started acting strangely this afternoon.  After an attempt to re-start, got the "Windows Error Recovery" screen with the "Windows did not start. A recent message HW or SW change might be the cause".  When I try to 'Launch Startup Repair' a screen returns but just hangs.  When I try to "Start Windows normally", it brings back me to the Windows error recovery screen.  When I hit f8 for when you start to get the screen "Advanced Boot Options" and try to go into secure Mode or use the last good known Configuration option, each one brings back me to the Windows error recovery screen.

  Any ideas on how to get this resolved?  Thank you!!!

  Hello

  The problem is since it will not run the startup from the Windows 7 disc repair you then you
  need some kind of support, and the cause is likely to be material. A Dell thing you want to do
  is to restore the system back to the factory plug 'IF' possible so it would be a good idea to save the
  data before calling their (possible an another 'IF'). Try to put the hard drive in another computer
  as the 2nd disc (best method) or in an external case USB (less likely to work) and then copy
  data on removable media such as CD, DVD or other external USB drives.

  Good idea to check with the technical support Dell, their online documentation and the Dell forums where he
  perhaps others with the same problem.

  Dell support
  http://support.Dell.com/

  Dell support drivers - product manual & warranty Info (left side) - and much more
  http://support.Dell.com/support/index.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=DHS

  Dell forums
  http://en.community.Dell.com/forums/
  Other choices would be a real store of the computer performing the internal repairs (not the leeks and the glances at one
  Best Buy or other stores). Of course if she has any warranty Dell is the best choice, and
  can be in effect regardless of any warranty.

  I hope this helps.

• 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!

• After trying to use Fix - It to fix XP does not recognize the USB key, had to go back to the last good configuration and computer charge always VERY slowly. What's past and how to fix it?

  Windows XP SP3 has ceased to recognize a USB flash drive and card reader that he always acknowledged in the past. I tried to use Fix - It to correct the problem. Fix - It is then asked to restart the computer. When the computer is restarted, it would not load. After waiting almost two hours, I restarted with the last good configuration. Then reloaded, it took nearly an hour. Before using the Fix - It, the computer was loading in less than five minutes after a reboot. There a lot of things on it. What can I do now to solve the problem posed by Fix - It and also correct the problem with XP recognizes does not flash drives?
