Presario stuck in Mode without failure.
I have a Presario SR5262NX new in November 2007, stuck in safe mode: Intel Pentium Dual Core E2160, 1.80 GHz; Cache L2 1 MB; 2 GB OF RAM; 320 GB DD; Vista Home Premium (32 bit); updated for FSP 550W PSU and GeForce 9600GT video card.
The PC is not usually online but I packed it and he brought with me on a trip to visit his family, where I have the opportunity to be online for a while and download Windows, drivers, and updates of games. First thing I did when I'm online was to download and subscribe to Norton 360 Ver.3. He ran a full scan and did his thing in the background very well for a few weeks. I left the computer on and online during the night two or three times for big downloads. Last night, I downloaded and installed an update of Realtek HD audio driver from the HP site. As I did I noticed that the Norton logo at the top of the sidebar gadget was red and said Fix. Thought I would look into that as soon as I completed the update of the driver. As the update is complete, it restarted the PC. When the start-up has passed BIOS, then the bar travel brands MS and entered the momentary blackout before MS ball logo and the password of the user window, he remained darkened without progressing further. However, the number lock indicator lit up as he usually does automatically as a convenience to type the password. That's all. No response to Ctrl-Esc or Ctrl-Alt-Delete. Can only stop by pressing the power button.
Since then I could not initialize in everything except in safe mode. I think I might have a virus, but Norton doesn't scan in safe mode. I went to the last recovery point and good recovery nothing is done before that, also without any change in the startup problem. In PC-Doctor (the hardware bootable diagnostic diskette), the PC passes all tests diagnostic equipment (except the failed on start). There is no available startup repair. The OS installation disc is in a hard disk partition. I tried the command 'bootrec /fixboot' in the command line, but 'bootrec' is not recognized.
I really want to fix this without doing a system recovery to factory settings. I've done it before and it's a hassle. And I'm not sure he would get rid of the virus, if it is the problem. I'm middle-aged, and what I know about computers, it's just that I learned by bumbling along. I hope that it is a simpler solution than to start. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.

Yee Haa! It works, it works! Reinstall the RAM sticks did the trick. Thank you, dmhoo29. Not sure why it works well. I guess remove the memory sticks empty the RAM, but isn't he purged whenever the PC is turned off? In any case, thank you very much. And thanks for the rest of you for your help. This site is now in my favorites. I downloaded the updates of virus definitions and Norton did a full scan as we speak. Everything is cool.
I you thank everyone once again for taking the time.

System stuck in Mode without failure. Need to return to the normal mode, please
I was talking to an outside agency on a question about hardware drivers. The guy took control of my PC and finally told me that he wanted exorbitant money to sort, saying: I had more problems than I knew I had. I refused to pay, but it seems to have sewn me upward by sticking my PC in "Safe Mode". I can't fix this problem, please help.
Hello
Let start the PC in safe. Hold down the Windows key and press R. In the run box, type msconfig and press ENTER. In the System Configuration window, click the Startup tab and look to see if there is a check mark in the box to start - if there is, click on the checkbox uncheck the box, then click on apply to save the change. Restart the PC and see if it will boot normally.

For some reason any, whenever I started Firefox (v 11.x) it would freeze on and off... gel for 3 to 5 seconds, then release for a few seconds, then freezes more and more.
So, I uninstalled Firefox (including all profile information), downloaded new v12.0 Firefox and installed from scratch. When I started it, it does the SAME THING! Without supplements, the profile by default, etc.
However, when I start safe mode, this is not it at all - it works fine.
I also tried starting Firefox where you tell everyone everything reset, restart, and it still behaves wrong. It works without hesitation when in Mode without failure.
What's up with that?

Hello
The www.littleones.ie site is displayed incorrectly in Firefox 7.0.1.
DIVs are shifted to the bottom of the page instead of appear side by side. It's OK in Firefox 3 and Safari, Chrome, IE and in Mode without failure of FireFox.
After some tests, I find that I can correct the problem by disabling hardware acceleration in the Options menu.
Disable Plugins has not fixed the problem.
Problem has also be seen on another PC using Firefox 7.0.1.Seems to be caused by a lack #leftcol {clear: both ;}}
If I add this CSS rule then it displays very well.

Only in the last days, Windows will ONLY open in Mode without failure. (I have made some changes myself)
I tried everything I knew how to do, without success.It must be clarified...
Which of the following statements apply to your problem:
1 when you started the computer you tried to log in normal mode, it wouldn't, and you needed to go to safemode manually in order to identify you.
If so, was there an error message?2. When you start the computer, it went automatically in safe mode.
If so, try this...Login in safe mode > start button > in the search box, type msconfig > Enter > at the top, click on start > make sure that there is NO check mark in front of Safe Boot > make sure that there is NO check mark anywhere in this window > click OK when finished.

Ramdomly PC turns off and restarts. Won't do in Mode without failure.
Hello. FO; lks!
I saw similar posts, but nothing exactly like this one.
My PC randonly shut dow and start times ranging from 1 minute to 20-30 minutes. The frequency seems to be getting shorter. The PC will apparently still be Mode without failure.
I tried to remove recently installed software and do a system restore.
When I originally started to have this problem, I am running Vista Ultimate. After trying my limited number of tricks, I took the device to the local computer repair company. At first, they thought it was a problem of overheating but memory, power and MoBo all checked. When I told them to let it run a few days in safe mode, they said it should be the software, so they upgraded me to to Windows 7. This does not solve the problem.
By reading this forum, I saw the mention of the verification of the file running. I did and all I get now is BSOD.
My system is: 2.67ghz i7 processor of Intell, ASUS MoBo, 6 GB of RAM and a 1 TB hard drive and a DVD burner.
I copied some of the most recent event logs to Word.
Any help appreciated.
Hello
Could be heat related - try using a small fan to blow into the air intakes to see if that helps.
Clean the dustbunnies by ports. It works better in Mode safe mode because the system
is not as pointed, especially the video. Therefore, the system is probably overheating or heat
the sensors are too sensitive, or both.To be able to remove ALL and reinstall all the cables (both ends), card and memory - in fact remove and
replace - do not just tight. (Of course these are for a PC and not a laptop).This sounds like material so if the above does not help you then probably need the help of a
real computer store (not of leeks and glances at a Best Buy or other department stores) or the system

How to activate the mode without failure in a game?
U see sometimes games run faster in mode safe & probably, I like it but I don't know how to activate it in gaming applications only in games ok?
How to activate the mode without failure in games?AI
Most of the games do not work in safe mode, because safe mode loads only the system drivers and not the games so it is really moot to wonder if he would run faster.
You can start in safe mode by pressing F8 during startup. You will see that the game does not load again.

HP Desktop, Windows 8.0. Do a restore of Windows 8 on the hard drive. Everything is progressing very well until I get this dialog box message: "Windows cannot complete the installation in Mode without failure. To continue installing Windows, restart the computer. "When I restart the computer the same message appears in a new dialog box. Before the restoration of Windows, I tried to reset mode without fail to start to get the operating system will once again but failed to get the operating system to boot at all. Finally resorted to restore to get the computer working again.
How to exit this loop?
OK, here's what I discovered.
When you get the error message mentioned above, you can hold down the SHIFT key and press the F10 key. This will put you in the command prompt.
At the command prompt, type: bcdedit [then press enter]
so to solve my problem I hade type: bcdedit /deletevalue {current} safeboot [then press enter]

Cannot access Windows XP stuck in reboot Mode without failure and encrypted HD loop.
I am currently stuck in Safe Mode reboot loop. This happened after I opted to enter Safe Mode via MSconfig (box checked/SafeBoot in BOOT. INI tab). I am unable to secure through all normal boot, command, etc.
I have already installed Recovery Console but I try to use it, I get the error "UNMPOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME" on blue screen.
I don't have a Windows XP CD, so last night I started with Knoppix successfully but can not access the Boot.ini file. I think it's because the encryption (Encryption Plus Hard Disk of GuardianEdge) provided with the laptop software. Before this has is spent, during the boot process, I get the login screen of encryption before Windows XP starts. Without this step, I can't access all the files.
My question is this: is it possible to achieve connection encryption while that started using Knoppix?
I'm completely locked out of my laptop. I appreciate any help you can offer.
Thank you

I set up firefox on the laptop first and he must always I choose to open in safe mode or the toolbar to reset, how do I change it without having to reinstall firefox. My office does not make what it opens with everything in place. I don't know what I did different when I downloaded it on the desktop.
DougMake sure that you don't have the SHIFT key when you click the shortcut on the desktop to launch Firefox.
Also check the properties using the context menu which - safe-mode switch is not added to the target (command) line. -
On my main computer, Firefox 6 and 7 will not load some Web pages (redsox.com, for example - pages just block indefinitely). Boot safe mode does not help. I keep downgraded to 5.0.1 and loads pages very well; they charge both in Chrome and IE. In addition, pages loading in Firefox 7 on other computers, it seems to have a problem with this configuration/installation...have deleted the cache and cookies without improvement. Any advice?
I would create a new.

I looked for help via the windows itself, nothing seemed appropriate.
I tried several solutions, I found online as well as nothing has worked.
Options, I tried:
Update of drivers.
Checkdisc running at startup.
Programs, accessories, run MSCONFIG untick initialization, normal startup check safe mode.
Startup and pressing F8 choose Normal startup option, this works to all first then comes in safe mode instantly back again as programs initialize at startup.
Cold from it after abruptly closing out game of jealousy, tension, technical fittings, threats using my laptop preferably in front of him (hell sometimes to other issues, it seems to work), begging, please, let her rest. Nothing seems to work.
The window of the second floor starts to look really tempting right about now.Ah yes I tried to restore instant snapshots prior twice now also using time before the update when everything worked. They work first then everything is started he returned once again in safe mode.

Cannot access Mode without failure and the FBI FALSE Virus
Somehow, I had this Fake FBI Virus that requires you to pay $200. When I load my computer it will automatically load to the top of this Page of FBI Fake me NO access to my computer. I am acutall on a different computer now and I read some info on it. I unplugged my internet cable in the hope that the safe mode might run with it is connected and without it but when I load only restarting my computer safe mode. If I load it with network or command prompt layout it doesn't load even upward. When I do normal safe mode that need me for my login password screen, then said that he stops and forced restarts taking me to the regular connection not safe mode and if I connect it will just take me to the page again. But if I unplug the internet, it seems that the page does not load, but I still have no access to my computer with a white screen page.
