Stuck in safe mode, try to reinstall XP

 

Hi, I'm trying to reinstall XP Dell after my system crashed. The laptop

is blocked in safe mode and sytem continuous configuration give the error message "Setup."

can not work in safe mode. I can't restart a system of derivation.

Can I reboot in MS DOS to reconfigure in normal startup mode?

If you're stuck in Mode safe, that's far more than necessary.

Your laptop should boot from the CD.  This will start the PC in one

a specialized environment that will allow you to install, re - install and

repair XP.  You should be able to see a "press a key to boot from.

CD... "message during the startup process.  If not, then you have two

possible problems:

(1) your installation CD may not work

(2) CD Player no longer work

  • Help! I deleted all MyRIO software and it is stuck in safe mode

    Hello

    In the NI MAX interface, I saw that there was a new version of the software to intall, in the section where it is possible to add and remove items from software to MyRIO among a list with checkboxes. The last option in this list was something like all erase, remove all software or other similar texts.

    I did intend to install the new version of the software after that. Then the MyRIO restarted in safemode, whith the led blinks three or four times every 5 seconds. And it was never recognized by the computer.

    I tried the button to reset without success. The MyRIO is still stuck in safe mode.

    Then I tried to communicate using the serial port on my computer set up according to the Guide to MyRIO, fitting RX, TX and GND of the connector on the PC in the ports of the UART of the connector has MXP. But the MAX NOR see the MyRIO, there is no response to the serial communication.

    How can I install the software again in MyRIO?

    Thanks in advance.

    Kind regards

    Rodrigo.

    Hello

    Today, I managed to communicate with MyRIO and now its working again.

    The RS232<->UART using the MAX232 IC worked, but I couldn't install the software in MyRIO via this interface.

    Without doubt, I uninstalled the software OR associated with MyRIO from my host, because when I plugged the MyRIO using the USB interface for my other computer, he acknowledged, and I installed the software into it without problem.

    Kind regards

    Rodrigo.

  • Stuck in Safe Mode - Vista - viruses? Driver problem? Help, please

    I'm operating Vista Home Premium and only the system starts in Mode safe.  Several vertical lines in a model of 5 show on the screen as it tries to start. He is stuck in a loop of repair of unsuccessul attempts but I can't us F8 to go into Safe Mode, no problem.

    Normal system repair did not work. System Restore to a watch in which the system was working did not work (went back 2 weeks).  I thought it might be a video driver error, but new updates of drivers did not fix the problem still could be the problem?  It will not Norton scan (although my anti virus has expired four days before what is happening). I uncheck all startup items and confirmed that in Normal Mode with the system configuration. None of this has worked.

    I bought an external hard drive to transfer all my data on that I agree with setting back to factory settings, but it will not recognize the new external drive in safe mode.   -Why is this?

    Any help on these two issues would be much appreciated!  Pulling the last hair on my head!

    Hi ColtsBlue,

    ·         Did you of recent changes on the computer that could have caused this start happening?

    ·         Are you able to scan the machine with something other than Norton?

    I suggest you try the methods below and check if it helps.

    Method 1: If you have the disks for Windows Vista try a startup repair and verification.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/products/features/Startup-Repair

    Method 2: This can happen if the video card drivers do not work or is corrupted so uninstalling and reinstalling might solve the problem several times so try uninstall the drivers from Device Manager. Follow the steps below:

    1. Click Start, in the search box type Device Manager and press to enter.

    2. Device Manager window opens, expand sound, video and game controllers.

    3. double click and go to the tab drivers.

    4. click on the tab to uninstall to uninstall.

    5 restart the system, it will reinstall the drivers again.

    Method 3: You can uninstall Norton and install Microsoft Security Essentials of Microsoft and check if it works very well.

  • Problem Windows XP Home - stuck in 'safe' mode - don't reset the normal start upward

    Hope someone can help me please.

    My laptop is stuck in 'safe' diagnostic mode and I can't get back to "Normal Mode - load all the drivers of devices and services"

    I am running Windows XP SP3 - Home edition (think it's 2002)

    I was uninstalling Norton Internet Security so I can install Kaspersky rather

    I put it in diagnostic mode after a few instructions, that I got from Internet regarding the delete correctly all files, Norton etc after uninstalling

    However, it will not return to the normal mode - even if I go into the System Configuration utility (to run msconfig) and I click Normal startup. He never actually starts in normal mode - even if it's on the normal radio button (sometimes it's on another option such as 'selective' or 'diagnostic'. Sometimes, I get a window on early upsaying that I am in the "diagnostic" mode and tells me to go up to the normal startup. I have it, but it doesn't fix it.

    I also cannot run a lot of things and, for example, cannot play music on YouTube. I tried Windows update also, but it does not work.

    This means that I've lost a large part of the functionality of my system - including the ability to install the Kaspersky Internet Security - so I have no anti virus etc.

    I tried to reset the dozen about 3 times and restarted following guests etc., but nothing works

    Can someone please?

    Thank you
