Safe mode starts Windows with a limited set of files and drivers. Startup programs do not work in safe mode, and only the basic drivers needed to start Windows are installed.

Safe mode is useful for troubleshooting problems with programs and drivers that might not start correctly, or that might prevent Windows from starting correctly. If a problem does not reappear when you start in safe mode, you can eliminate the default settings and basic as possible cause device drivers. If a program recently installed, device, or driver prevents Windows from running correctly, you can start your computer in safe mode, and then remove the program that is causing the problem.

  1. Remove all floppy disks, CDs and DVDs from your computer and restart your computer.

    Click the button start , click the arrow next to the button lock , then click on restart.
  2. Do one of the following:

    • If your computer has a single operating system installed, press and hold the F8 key as your computer restarts. You need to press F8 before the Windows logo appears. If the Windows logo appears, you need to try again by waiting until the Windows logon prompt appears, and then stop and restart your computer.

    • If your computer has more than one operating system, use the arrow keys to select the operating system you want to start in safe mode, and then press F8.

  3. In the display Advanced Startup Options, use the arrow keys to select the option of safe mode you want and press ENTER. For more information about the options, see Advanced startup options (including safe mode).

  4. Log your computer with a user account with administrator rights.

When your computer is in safe mode, you will see marked Safe Mode in the corners of the screen. To leave safe mode, restart your computer and let Windows start normally.

  • How to stop Windows Update to take keyboard focus, when you are asked "do you want to restart now?

    Windows Update often wants to restart the computer after an update.  If you say "not now" (or ignore?), he will later pop up a question "reboot now?" in a bubble of task bar.  INCREDIBLY, it will at that time take keyboard focus of everything that happens and then accept what he gets as a response from the user.  This means that if the user was in the middle of typing something, the following sequence of keys will enter the bubble "you want to restart" instead of some request the user was in the middle of the help.  It's very bad.

    Here is what just happened to me.  I was in the middle of typing a document when the keyboard focus was suddenly taken by the issue of recovery, a fraction of a second later, the following combination of keys, he disappeared - I have no idea what hit it.  Fortunately, I saw the flash and guess what had happened and quickly you press 'save' on my request.  A few seconds later, my application has been closed as the machine restarted.

    I think that the bubble of Windows Update SHOULD NOT STEAL the KEYBOARD FOCUS.  I think it's dangerous and bad design.

    What is the best way to communicate this suggestion to the team of Windows Update?

    Is there a setting to stop Windows Update to do this?  (Stop stealing keyboard focus)

    I use Vista Home Premium

    I'm looking for a Microsoft solution for the specific problem I described, and/or advice on where post for better attention to Microsoft to "design problem".

    None of us are obstruction you. If we knew a way to avoid this problem (problem), we would have mentioned it earlier in this thread.

    You aren't the first person to complain about this and I'm sure you won't be the last. According to Microsoft, you have two options:

    1 use an automatic updates setting other Automatic (for example, download updates but let me choose whether to install them). or...

    2. turn off the automatic updates and get your updates manually (which I don't recommend).

    I suggest to try a repair installation as described in this article.  Or you can perform a parallel installation as explained in the Windows XP Installation Options.  None of these methods will erase the data.  The parallel install Windows to a different folder so that your information will be saved by you will need to reinstall your programs.

    If you tried to log on to Windows and received an error message telling you that your user profile is damaged, you can try to fix it. You will need to create a new profile and then copy the files from the existing to the new profile. You must have at least three user accounts on the computer to perform these operations, including the new account that you created.

    Just because "nothing has shown" when you scanned with NAV does NOT mean that the computer has not been infected. Looks like he may have been infected since the incident of online banking services.

  • Installed NEWSid, restarted, now I am obliged in the guest account and can't make admin account or change the guest account.

    I had to run NEWSid due to software, I bought and installed (Stardock Objectdock) and required me to restart. Upon reboot, I had the guest account and couldn't change little matter what I tried. Here are things I tried.

    (1) goes UAC and by creating an account admin, but when I put a name in the name field, it tells me I have the invalid text when I do.

    2) restart in safe mode to create the Admin account or change the parameters of control of the accounts in this way and the same thing happens as a #1.

    Reinstall Windows Vista Home Basic 64-Bit 3) compared to the original, which does nothing to help.

    After research, I learned that using NEWSid with Vista causes this problem a lot, but the only solution I found is to use a recovery system disk (the only disc that came with my purchase of the computer has been the Cyberpower restore disc that contains only Windows Vista Home Basic 64-Bit.

    I am at a loss what to do, what I'm in the guest account and can't get out. System Restore did nothing as well until I reinstalled Vista. When I tried to run the system restore, it told me the Volume Shadow service was not working, but as part of the services, it has been set to automatic.

    Hi Rizzano,

     

    Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forums.

    If you are unable to connect to the administrator account, you will be unable to make changes on the computer by using the guest account.

    I think you did an in place upgrade which means it replaces the file system and makes no changes to the user account.

    You try to activate the construction in the administrator account and check if it works.

    If you are able to connect on windows first try to create a new administrator account.

    To activate the built-in Administrator account, follow these steps:


    1. click Startand type cmd in the Search boxof start.
    2. in the list of search results, right-click Guest, and then click run as administrator.
    3. When you are prompted by user account control, click continue.
    4. at the command prompt, type net user administrator / Active: Yesand then press ENTER.
    5. type net user administrator , , and then press ENTER.
    Note: Please replace the tag with passwords which you want to set for the administrator account.
    6. type exitand press ENTER.
    7 log off the current user account.

    HOW to: Enable the build-in the administrator account in Windows Vista

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/555910

     

    If the steps above does not resolve the question suggest that you try to restore the system from the mode or using the disk safe.

    To use the Windows recovery environment, you must have the Windows Vista or Windows 7 installation disc. To start the Windows recovery environment, follow these steps:

    1.

    Insert the installation disc into the disc drive, and then start the computer.

    2.

    Press a key when you are prompted.

    3.

    Select a language, time and currency and keyboard or input method, and then click on Next.

    4.

    Click on your computer repair.

    5.

    In the System Recovery Options dialog box, click the operating system you want to repair, and then click on Next.

    In the System Recovery Options dialog box, click System Restore to restore the operating system to the restore point created before the problem occurred.

    Hope this information is useful.

    Let me know if it worked.
