Safe Mode boot

I still see people saying to start in safe mode. Was just curious, how do you do that?

I also hope that your dad is improving. Thanks for the kind words. It helps people like you that make me really happy to do this. Once again, thank you.

  • I can't get out of Safe Mode boot

    Original title: cannot EXIT the MODE without START FAILURE

    Ouch, I really did it this time. I am running Vista Home Premium, AMD 64.  Last weekend, I tried to download an audio file and could not understand why it wouldn't download.  It turns weird as extensions AU or something.  But before I figured out it is the reason why it would not download, I tried other things that probably did not help my computer at all.  I went on a site to update the drivers.  I have no idea that I have updated drivers.  I also downloaded a new version of Java.  There may have been other things I've done but I do not know what.  This shows that a little knowledge in the wrong hands can be a dangerous thing!

    Since then, I've been making some unusual pop - ups.  The first said "rundll32 Windows host process has stopped working".  I've been using Windows & so, I understand why I'm going, but I don't know how to get rid of it.  The other pop-up that was more worried is "Windows Defender detected programs that may compromise your privacy or damage your computer.  Trojan:Win32 / nundo. Gen! A Trojan:Win32 / Hiloti.gen! One' being not not sure of what I did over the weekend that caused this, I decided the best thing to do was a system restore to a date preceding the last weekend.  I tried last night, April 14. When I went into the system restore, there was no option to choose a restore point other than yesterday's date, April 14.  I clicked on choose a different restore date but nothing happens.  Why is this?  So finally with no other choice, I clicked on yesterday and proceeded to restore.  After the restore and the computer has rebooted, I realized that I was still getting the same two pop-up windows.  Here is where I really get things screwed up.

    After the restoration & closing & turn my computer once or twice to see that I had the same problems, I came up with the brilliant idea to start my computer in safe mode.  I don't know why, I didn't know what I'd do once I'm in safe mode, but I thought I'd give it a try. I reiterate the previous statement, a little knowledge in the wrong hands is a dangerous thing! So I did a restart and exploited the F8 key until that startup options it.  I chose safe mode.  Now, almost nothing works.  I can't go on the Internet.  Restore still won't let me choose one date other than those of yesterday and the worst of all, I can't return to normal startup upward.  I tried restarting the computer and tap the F8 button until what came startup options it.  I scrolled down & selected normal startup upward.  But when it starts, it is always in safe mode.  I spent more than 4 hours trying to solve this problem.  Finally, I turned off the computer and went to bed.  I was hoping that the computer fairies could come and fix things while I was sleeping.  No luck.  This can be corrected?  Your help is desperately needed.  Be very specific.  I'm sure it's hard to say, but my computer knowledge is limited.

    I'm very grateful for any help you can give me.

    Matt, thank you intervene and adding additional support for this issue.  I don't see your answer in time & I took my computer to the person IS where my husband works.  I was too scared to run the full recovery.  One of my big questions I couldn't get out of Safe Mode Start up.   Here's something important, he found... It is entered in the system configurations and found START up in safe MODE has been verified.  Don't ask me how this cuz happened I don't know I go there & check it but once he fired it I was able to repeat a regular start.  Hallelujah!  He was able to fix most of my problems, but I've always had some problems... as not be able to uninstall a program.  With the extra help last weekend from this site, I think I'm pretty much back to normal.

    Do you think I should run the Vista SP1?  I started to do the day that my system was haywire so I highly doubt that it installed properly.  Will not be automatically implemented Microsoft?

    Once again, thank you to all who helped me with this.  I would be about $200 more poor now if it wasn't for your help.

    A few weeks ago, I was using my computer and it worked very well. Once I got home I turned it on, but it does not turn. After trying several times and get only a black screen I finally got an answer, my computer was looking for solutions, and finally I decided to update it. Once I did, everything seemed to work, but as he was warned many of my apps have been removed. Once I tried to download office, a message appeared and the dignosi said that "a problem is preventing the troubleshooting tool to start. After this, I restarted my PC, but the problem persisted. Then I tried to open the app store and it did not open at all it just poped to the top of the icon of gree. With this problem and no solution, I scanned my computer but nothing. Then I looked on the internet, it seemed to me that many had my problem. Then I tried what more said and noticed that something that I could not even do is run at the prompt as an administrator. It took a lot of my possibilities, and the problem of not being able to download anything at all do not let me even try firefox or install any kind of service. To resolve this problem, I have internet and with the help of my brother, I could do my account manager and perform the sfc can. After that he told me that I had nothing wrong. The next thing I did was try to run "chkdsk/r", after that I could download and install things over the internet so I did a update and installed everything I could.

  • XP SP3 update causes computer to only start in safe mode

    My daughter had XP IE8 running on his computer, site update Windows XP SP3 download.  I downloaded and installed, however it won't start in safe mode. When I remove SP3, the computer loads normally.  I then uninstalled IE8 (went back to IE6), made sure I had the pre-requistes, followed the steps as outline on the microsoft site, downloaded SP3 again and installed.  It will only re-start in safe mode.  I tried everything, no matter what I do, XP SP3 causes the computer to restart in safe mode only. I'm totally frustrated. Can someone help me?

  • No network after a power failure and only works in safe mode with network. Operating system is Vista SP2.

    The latest patch to update this system was .net framework 4

    This behavior has occurred on several machines after a power failure in our factory caused all systems restart.

    I have run chkdsk

This got me internet again in normal mode, but we are far from finished there are a lot of services is still needed. I'll make one by an approach to see what will begin and what doesn't.

  • Access to safe mode

    I have a refurbished Dell Optiplex 745 desktop computer. I'm with Windows 7 Pro installed. I then upgraded to Windows to 10, which subsequently installed the first update the operating system. Ten days ago, I received a message that some app had caused a problem and I lost all the files on my desktop, except those by default. I decided to restore from a backup and restored the original computer W 7 Pro. No problem, I thought. I have only to connect to the internet and to spend again at 10 w. problem, it is, I can't connect to the internet. There is no problem with the internet itself that the other computers connect normally.

    I've been on Microsoft that were helpful. The procedure recommended by them requires the safe boot mode. My problem is that I can't. At the start, I have two options - Setup f2 and f12 Boot Menu. None of them has a Safe Mode option.

    Microsoft advises whether Dell or Dell Community assistance to allow me to access Safe Mode boot. I should add that, although I'm not a complete novice with computers, I'm far from an expert. Any help will be much appreciated.

    Once this is sorted (I hope), I think I'll stick with Windows 7!

    F8 disappears to always WIN10 improved 7.  F8 applies to WIN7.  Installed at the factory is destroyed by the upgrade.  Win7 does not have native network drivers.  If it worked before and is not now it's scorched earth requiring malware wipe all re install.

  • 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.

  • mode off safe mode on Windows 7.

    Split from: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-security/how-to-disable-safe-mode-booting-in-windows-7/6fbe891f-70b4-4a75-900f-e802a3d74012

    Is there a sure way to turn off the mode without boot failure in windows 7? My kids tried to use it to install programs without my permission. I have to find a way to turn it off. I know that this means that I will not have access to safe mode when I need, but I'm fine with that. The worst cases are re - install the entire operating system, and I have periodic return on the system, so I'm going to re - install OS when necessary.

    Internet research is inconclusive. Some say it's impossible. Some evoke a commercial which some said work tool while others say does not.

    Of course, all accounts on my PC have password.

    A point in that way that I'm not too sure will work for sure:
    "Administrator" account and activate the password on it, so when it goes into safe mode, it always need password.

    I already did, and 'Administrator' account now requires a password in safe boot mode. It's a sure way to impose security on safe mode? Or are there still ways to circumvent security in safe mode?

    Authoritative answer?

    Thank you very much.

    Hi Saleta,

    Sorry for the late reply. From your problem description, I understand you have safe mode in your computer. Safe mode is a Windows utility that allows you to use your computer outside of your regular Windows session. Using this option is convenient to edit or remove entries of system or software malfunction, that is usually done when troubleshooting your computer. Your administrative privileges using existing, you can disable a Windows password using the Windows Safe Mode.

  • Explorer Windows crashed. No taskbar in safe mode. System Restore does not help you.

    Hello. I have a problem with my Windows 7 desktop. A few days ago I can't run my iTunes, I searched it upward into the Apple tech support website and as said: uninstall, remove remaining files, delete the temporary folder. When you delete the temporary folder, I created another folder inside and moved the files to the folder I created. Some aren't s mobile because they were still running (active). I just deleted the folder that I created that contains the files that were inactive. When I turn it on yesterday (December 20) and log in to my user account (standard user), there's a pop window saying "windows Explorer crashed. Please close the program. We will notify you when a solution was found"I closed the window and waited. After that the window was closed, none of the desktop icons and the taskbar is visible. I waited for an hour and nothing happened. This also happens to other user accounts. I shut down the computer by using the Task Manager. I did the same thing today (21 dec) and it's the same thing. I tried the system restore, but it's always the same. I tried to boot in SafeMode as administrator to perform the clean boot. The taskbar is not visible. I pressed windows on the keyboard button and the taskbar appears. But the bar 'start' is no upward. I clicked on the Start button and the bar 'start' is not yet up. Help, please. Thank you.

    Hi Yan Sheng,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Community and thanks for posting the question.

    It appears from the description of the problem that you are unable to find the desktop icons and the taskbar on your computer. I understand the inconvenience.

    What is your system brand and model?

    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 afflicted system has a CD/DVD drive work?

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

    The symptom often means that your system is of a malicious software.

    With this particular symptom of hanging on isapnp.sys in Mode safe is to search for a driver of zero-byte length file in the c:\windows\system32\drivers folder.

    Of course, you have to boot the system on something in order to access the hard drive to find the suspicious file and get rid of it.

    If you have any installation CD bootable XP real where you start in the XP Recovery Console, or you are not sure what type of bootable CD, you have,
    make a CD of bootable XP Recovery Console or Hiren Boot CD and don't forget.

    There is no XP media needed to make a Hiren Boot CD or a bootable XP Recovery Console.  You can access the folder and check if
    There is this action suspect file and take.

    Once you're booted to the CD of your choice, navigate to the following folder (assuming that XP is installed on your C volume):

    c:\Windows\System32\Drivers

    Looking for a file that ends with an extension .sys and zero bytes in length.  The file can also have a curious name because she may have been generated at random.

    If you are in the XP Recovery Console, issue the following command in the c:\windows\system32\drivers folder:

    dir *.sys

    Files Scrolls one screen at a time.  Look at the list of files with .sys extensions and their lengths.  You don't need to
    worry about directories...  If you see a file with a .sys extension which is zero byte, it is suspect.

    If you use just the Mini XP Mode a Hiren boot CD (which works as Office XP), navigate to the folder of the my
    Computer desktop icon and locates the suspect files.

    You really want to remove the suspicious file once you get running and you run some scans for malware, but if you are
    not sure what is the suspicious file or if it might be necessary, just rename the suspicious file for now, in case you are not sure.

    For example, if you find zigxrtml.sys folder had a length of zero byte, rename it:

    Rename zigxrtml.sys zigxrtml.bad

    Renaming or removing the suspicious file to get the system running is not resolved the problem.  It is the symptom of the problem.

    The problem is your system is infected by malicious software and you should always follow up with a few scans to remove infections.

    Once your system is running, followed with MBAM and SAS to be sure that the affliction has really been removed.

    Reduce the risk of malware by running some scans.

    Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs can solve any problems:

    Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
    SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/

    It can be uninstalled later if you wish.

    The scans by operating clean, restart, test your task manager and we can repair any other pending issues.

    Do, or do not. There is no test.

  • Booted XP went into the mode options regurly of open windows, or knowledge last configuration or safe mode. No matter what I choose, keeps restart and return to this page

    Original title: frozen configuration page

    My laptop running windows xp pro was fine, when I went to bed last night, but this morning I woke and went to use the lt and it started as usual but then in a mode options regurly windows open or to last working configuration, or 3 safe mode options. And no matter what I choose, it keeps restart and return to this page and has continually repeated the same steps over and over again... someone can please help me with this?

    It seems that your XP hangs for some reason any...

    Why do we know almost nothing about your system (except a laptop with XP Pro)?  I know this isn't your fault...

    Please answer these questions and to implement the following:

    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 genuine XP installation CD bootable, which is the same Service as your installed Service Pack (this 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 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.

    I was curious as to whether or not we can boot to Safe Mode command prompt only.

    If so, we can run the following command followed by the Enter key:

    CHKDSK C: /f

    If the Safe Mode command prompt only does not work, we can start the recovery console and run the same command:
