• Both my vista system entered a repeated after the last automatic update reboot

  I had just done file clean with Norton Utilities on both systems, during the restart of automatic updates has downloaded the latest vista updates.

  Step 2 first load okay but when the phase 3 is to load I get the same message: configuration of updates of stge 3 of 3 0% complete do not turn off your computer and keeps it just reboot again and again.

  One system, I could get back on line running a repair utility and go back to a restore point. No luck on the other still.

  Tried all the advice, it's the only thing that finally worked.

  http://nctritech.com/vista_update_loop.php

  Here is the short version for people who know how to get to tools to do this and if run restore system from the installation DVD does not work: DELETE the files \Windows\WinSxS\cleanup.xml AND (if applicable) will be fixed \Windows\WinSxS\pending.xml and the infinite loop updated.

  There are two ways to get the files, you need to delete. The easiest is to start your installation of Windows and the button 'Install now' DVD, click on the link located at the bottom left that says 'Repair your computer' open a command prompt and type:

  del C:\Windows\WinSxS\cleanup.xml

• Vista 64-bit Black Screen of Death, with just a mobile available slider, the system does not start in safe mode.

  My system worked properly on 25 April and then something happened and now the machine comes back with "Start menu options" but will not start in one of the listed options, modes result in the same outcome.  System also starts on the Vista CD.

  System begins to boot normally, shows the tracer Green Windows at the bottom of the screen, then the mouse pointer appears and moves but the rest of the screen remains black.

  That's it, that's all what he will do.  I checked the settings of the computer and ran the diagnostic tests available and everything seems to go fine and passes all the tests.

  I worked on my own computers for over 20 years and never been stumped before, but I must say this is a first, and I have no idea what to try to do it now.

  Help or direction is appreciated.

  original title: Vista 64-bit Black Screen of Death, with just a mobile available slider, the system does not start in safe mode.

  See if there is a way to tecover clean your data before doing a restore to conditions of factory that will wipe the drive of all.  You can use Knoppix http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/index-en.html with a good ISO as Copier: http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm as well as a blank CD (which you will need to do on another computer).  Starting on this disc and lla should give you enough access to the system (if you do not have any other means) to backup your important data.

  So since you seem to have no other alernatives, you can try retoring the original factory computer options. However, if it is a hardware problem as could very well be the case, you can still encounter problems after even this drastic step.  Then you will need to consider in a reputable computer repair shop (NOT Geek Squad or or a any of these big store centers) or maybe even go back to the manufacturer for repair.   Check out several options and compare the costs, quality and guaranteed and then make your best decision.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• Vista system does not see the files that are on a CD of HP, Intuit and others

  CD allows you to install different products does not work on my Vista Ultimate system when the CD has been made by the manufacturer to support Windows and Mac OS.  These CD work in an XP system and a Windows 7 system. I have two optical drives on the Vista system (two allow DVD writing) and installation CD fail the same way in the two discs.

  If I share a CD drive on the Windows 7 or XP System I and then place the CD in the drive, I can see all the files on the Vista system.  Another CD that do not also for Mac OS work well in all my systems. So far, a single CD of Intuit and two HP is failing.

  I made several complete scans of my system searching for virus using two tools each of Norton and Microsoft and can't find anything.

  When I said above fail, I wanted to say that Windows Explorer displays an incomplete list of files on the CD. To be more precise, the list displayed on the Windows vista system does not include autorun.inf or setup.exe. There are also listed things that should not be registered on a Windows install CD. VolumeIcon.icns and background for example. Basically, it seemed something to tell readers that they are on a Mac system.

  Earlier today, I solved this problem. It seems that someone (probably me or my son) XPlay 3 was installed on the system. For some reason, this included a copy of MacDrive. I think that MacDrive caused the problem by making the part Apple Mac of the CD to be the only part that was visible to my system. I uninstalled XPlay 3 and everything works fine now.

• The purpose of doing a virus scan after Windows starts in safe mode?

  I've heard some suggestions that, in certain circumstances, it is best to do a virus scan after Windows starts in safe mode. So I have two questions:

  (1) would what type of circumstances you perform a scan antivirus in safe mode?

  (2) what are the advantages or disadvantages?

  I have found no reliable info that answers to these questions and would be grateful for any info, or even just a point in the right direction.

  Thank you!

  Hello

  The advantage is that some process and services are not loaded in Mode without failure there is less chance
  This malware can load and interfere with the process. The downside is the same if its best
  to run the malware checks mode safe and then in Windows. Or run in Windows and as appropriate
  difficult to remove malware is detected then run in Mode safe, then in Windows.

  If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to
  scrutiny and the withdrawal without ending up with a load of spyware programs running
  resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be more difficult to detect as the
  cause.

  No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
  to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
  its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
  extreme overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.

  It can be made repeatedly in Mode safe - F8 tap that you start, however, you must also run
  the regular windows when you can.

At first, I thought it was my Norton 360 Security, but after 2 hours in contact with them, I'm still in the same position. When I double click on the Firefox icon I see the moment where the cursor and then it disappears and nothing loads.

• I have windows xp after the installation of service pack 3 I can only start in safe mode

  I have windows XP after the installation of service pack 3 I can only start in safe mode?

  Hello

  ·         You get the error message?

  ·         What happens when you try to start in normal mode?

  Method 1

  Windows XP can in every start Safe Mode by default. Even if you select the option Start Windows normally, it always starts in Mode without failure. IOW, you can't get out of safe mode.

  This happens if the switch/SafeBoot is added to the Boot.ini file. / SafeBoot parameter forces a boot in safe mode by using the specified parameters. The available parameters are:

  (a) minimal (b) network (c) safeboot: minimal (alternateshell) For more information about the boot.ini switches, see visualization and correction of the settings of the boot on x 86 systems RESOLUTION (a) click Start, run and type MSCONFIG (b) click the Boot.ini tab (c) If you have a dual-boot system, select the entry that is appropriate under the [operating systems] (d) in section downstairs, Startup Options uncheck / hisFEBOOT (e) click OK (f) restart Windows The entry/SafeBoot are removed from the Boot.ini file.

  Method 2:

  If the above method is not the cause, it seems that Service Pack 3 is not installed correctly.

  Step 1: You try to run the system restore from safe mode that will repair return the computer to the point while it was working fine.

• Windows xp does not start in safe mode how to

  Computer says windows did not start successfully and does not start in safe mode, will not restart, do not go back to the last known good configuration

  When you choose to start safe mode, which is the last thing you see on the screen?

  When you arrive at the menu of Boot Options Advanced F8, you need to choose in this menu, 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.

  You won't get past step 1 of KB307654 or install the Recovery Console or do a repair install without a real XP bootable installation CD that matches your currently installed Service Pack (very unlikely).

  You have a real installation CD bootable XP that corresponds to your currently installed Service Pack?

• Black screen, does not start in safe mode - how do I restart my mac

  Hello, I have a MacbookPro, that all of a sudden will not start. I believe that the problem - from what I've read-, is that memory is simply too fulll. I tried to start in Safe Mode, but of course it doen't work. The screen displays a small bar as it loads, but after a while goes back to the same blank screen and nothing happens. I tried waiting half an hour, but nothing changes. I have not tried to launch utility disk in Recovey Mode because I'm afraid of what will happen to my files. Unfortunately, I unwisely postponed to back up files and now I'm afraid to do anything that my fry them all without me even realizing it. Can you offer any solution that is as safe as possible?  I don't have a cable Thunderbolt.

  My laptop starts in safe mode, I can't make systems, backup files recovery failed, do not have a vista disk to run vista, need help

  If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

  Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

  When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html

  Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

  NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

  Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:

  It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

  You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

  It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

  And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

  Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

  They will tell you how to do this.

  Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, Acer, recovery disk/s etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.
