Windows initializes to the Safe Mode screen. Unusable keyboard

Dell Inspiron E1505, Windows XP Home SP3 Ed.    Computer seemed to have some symptoms that I had not fully diagnosed a blocked key "t".  Trying to diagnose the problem, I wanted to start the computer in "safe" mode  When this screen came, my keyboard was unusable, so I couldn't choose how to start Windows (Safe Mode, Mode safe mode with networking, etc.).  The only thing I can't do is hard power the computer down and start again.  But now it always comes with the selection of Safe Mode screen.  The real problem is that the second 30 countdown clock never starts if Windows never starts.  The ability only I seem to have with the computer now is to push the power button to start and press the button to turn off it, but I get them all in the process is the selection of the Saft Mode screen and nothing else.  Please notify.  Thank you.

You cannot run windows without keyboard operation. If you think it works, (you can check if see the Num, scroll lock or caps lock lights) you can try to access your BIOS with it. If it works from there, (not too sure what to try out unless you have another keyboard, you can use to install the appropriate drivers for this) you could try to put in your windows CD and try installing 3rd party drivers. There was also an option in the recovery console to select a default keyboard layout. And if you can acess recovery console, you can then change the boot options to make normal startup or the clock is displayed.

(In the recovery console, first select your windows installation (default is 1) then it prompts for administrator password, if you have not just press on enter, then type help to see the commands and for more information on order type in the command and /?) Ex: boocfg /? and press ENTER. The main controls, you would need is fixboot and bootcfg.

I hope this helps a little,

-Alex.

  • I want the cursor to be in the address bar when you create a new window; It works for new tabs and a new private window, but not in safe mode.

    I tried following the advice offered in the different threads bit I found on this but nothing works out. I want the cursor to be in the address bar when I open a new window or when firefox opens without restoring a previous session. I solved the problem for new tabs via subject: config, but it does not work for the new windows. I tried safe mode and the problem persists. In a new private window, the cursor is in the address bar.

    A new window opens the homepage (default: subject: House) and not the new tab page (default: subject: newtab).

    Some of the built-in pages set the focus to the search bar on the web page, just like the Google site only.

    You can use a bookmark in the bookmarks toolbar that opens the subject: blank page.
    If you hold down the SHIFT key when you click this bookmark, then you open a new widow with this page.
    Otherwise, you need to set the home page to about: blank or on the point: about to have easy access to all the pages.

  • accidents of 1 second after opening. I also tried the safe mode - the same thing. I just installed the latest and greatest

    I started by installing the latest roboform. Then he decided to update itself so I said go ahead. Then he started this very strange process adding each addon, then ask to restart. After a while, I decided to open the screen of each addon, say things to do, saying to continue and move on to the next. I thought I could restart by the end of this process, which was love but not as bad as the restart for each addon.

    In any case, once this is done, he began to run and quit smoking. Then I did the safe mode thing and got exactly the same result. I know she was trying to connect to something, and the address was something like newaddon: Oh, she also makes not less than four 4 firefox on my desktop icons when it finished installing.

    you ask a bunch of stuff below which I can provide I can't have him.

    You have Roboform installed 7.6.3?

    Or an earlier version?

    Original title: Safe Mode

    You can start either home or Pro in SafeMode by this technique...

    Keep F8 hitting twice a second immediately after you have switched on the PC. You should get a boot menu where safe mode is selectable using the up/down arrow keys.

    Or, use the msconfig utility. When you do it this way, Windows starts in SafeMode permanently until you reverse the changes in msconfig...

    • Click on run
    • Type msconfig and press enter
    • Click on the CHEST. INI tab
    • Check the box for/SafeBoot

  • Access to the Safe Mode on Windows 8

    Hello

    I understand sometimes through troubleshooting or for other reasons, there is a need to access safe mode when using windows 8. What many people do not know is Windows 8 does not use F8 at startup to access the secure mode. It needs to be done inside of Windows 8, himself. The screenshots below will show you how to access safe mode when you use Windows 8.

    On the startup screen, click settings:

    Then click on change settings for PC:

    Click gernal on the left side of the page:

    On the right side scroll advanced boot:

    The computer then stops, and you want to click on troubleshoot:

    Click on advanced options:

    Click startup parameters:

    You will then see a page that lists information, click Restart on the right:

    You will then choose which environment you want to connect to:

    Are you sure? Viruses are rare under Linux... It is even more unlikely that the same virus that has been written for Win XP to run in a Linux environment. I'm starting to think that you have some sort of hardware problem.

    !!! WARNING! Be careful here!
    Have you tried to Disconnect completely all your hard disks via anti-static bracelet and boot from your CD Win XP Pro (do not REFORMAT). I think that you should be able to boot from your CD of Win XP to the point just before you have to select the media target. If booting from your CD of Win XP still causes your screen cursor keys act weird, you probably have a hardware problem.

    !!! WARNING!
    When you disconnect a hard drive with an anti static band, you have TO put it and antistatic location on an antistatic surface.

    I think the only option is to go to a technician to remove the HARD drive and sorting. Coz' with this kind of problem, I can not select anything on the screen.

    Remove the hard drive and scanning with another computer are the best way to kill the virus, but you will need to get a proper equipment (band of anitstatic and bags) and find a friend or technician who is willing to risk infection.
