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?

  • My Windows XP does not start, including safe mode

    Hi, I have a computer dell laptop with windows XP Home Edition. Is not start even in safe mode. In safe mode, it crashes after loading file isapnp.sys driver display. In other modes, it displays a white screen. I tried to replace the file sys of the installation CD but no use. I have run the command chkdsk from the recovery console, but no use. I tried to repair the xp using the installation CD. He did copy the game files and restarted after copying. But no use and crashes at the same files isapnp.sys. No error is displayed. Please help me.

    ISAPNP.sys is normally the last pilot of the group "reserved to the system", then xp loads 'boot bus extender' group. Some viruses may have injected a pilot belonging to this group: If your antivirus caught it or something strange has happened, your xp should hang at this moment.

    You have to work offline (with a live cd such as ubcd4win or mounting your hard drive on a pc, not as one bootable of course), check if there is something strange in windows\system32\drivers, for example a .sys 0 KB long file with an unusual name, then find his name in the registry (it might have a weird registry entry too)

    Take care to do a backup (export to a reg file) before you delete these entries. In addition, this type of virus usually load something else, at least as autorun (e.g. under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run), so you have to check the registry for other suspicious entries in known locations (and/or do a scan with antivirus update offline)

    These are some advanced "s maneuver", so if you do not feel comfortable and do not understand the question better if you request technical support.

    Good luck

  • PC Windows 7 does not start in safe mode after current updates

    I have a HP pavilion dv8t-I7-windows edition laptop home premium.  After a few updates auto windows, my pc would no longer start - got 'configure the custom for windows update desktop setting.    I got the pc in safe mode and did a restore and pc worked fine.  However windows last night did automatic updates again, and this morning same problem was back.  However, this system time freezes everything trying to load all the drivers for safe mode - then now I can't do a restore.  I noticed when I saw that windows wanted to restart for the new updates that half of the updates were for windows 10 House - I don't even have 10 windows on my laptop.  Very frustrating that these 10 updates windows could be the cause of my pc becomes unusable.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello

    My apologies for the late reply.

    I suggest you to fix your PC using a windows 7 installation media.

    1. Boot from the Windows 7 disc.
    2. Once you select your language, time settings and keyboard, click Next to load the next window, and then click repair your computer on the lower left corner of the window.
    3. You should then be presented with a screen to choose an Option , with Troubleshooting as an option to select.
    4. In Troubleshooting screen, select Advanced options.
    5. Select startup repair in the Advanced options screen, and then select the operating system to repair, target, which would be Windows 7 in this case.

    Kind regards

  • 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!

  • "Windows Vista Security Center" close browser windows, precise I have a virus, and now no programs will be opened. Windows does not start in safe mode, and all the system restore points have already disappeared.

    Hello

    I have a Dell laptop under Windows Vista Premium. I got it for about three years, and he is upset enough ok tonight. In the middle of browsing the internet, check my email, etc., all but one of my browser windows close at random, and a message appears "windows vista Security Center" whenever I try to open a new window, blocking of the site and to say that the site is dangerous and my system has been infiltrated by a Trojan horse. Then he starts the scan and says that I must buy the full to get everything to work again. I closed everything, since I already have McAfee antivirus and internet security, but it does not, and neither did any other progams. I tried restarting in safe mode to restore a backup point, but Windows does not open in safe mode, rather stick for half an hour in the middle of loading. When I managed to start windows in normal mode, I found that all my past restore points had been erased.

    This happened to someone else, and it is fixable without wiping everything?

    Thanks in advance,
    Emma

    Hi Emma,

    This could be due to a virus on your computer.  Try to make a virus on your computer scan to check if your computer is infected.

    Hello

    There are 2 methods to get into Safe Mode.

    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/how-to-start-Windows-in-safe-mode/#Windows7

    Use the msconfig method:

    Using the method of System Configuration tool:

    Note: If you have problems to enter Safe Mode using the F8 method, don't use this method to force so that it starts in mode without failure. For reasons that why you should read this.

    1. Close all running programs and open the windows if you are back on the desktop.
    2. Click on the Start () button.
    3. In the search box of the Start Menu, type in msconfig as shown in Figure 12 below.

      Figure 12. Windows 7 search box

      Then press enter on your keyboard.

    4. The System Configuration utility will open and you will see a screen similar to the one below.

      Click the Startup tab.

    5. You will now be the home screen as shown below.

      Put a checkmark in the checkbox Start secure

    6. Press the apply button and then press the OK button.
    7. Now, you will see a prompt stating that you must restart the computer to apply the change.

      Click the restart button to restart your computer.

    8. Your computer will now restart directly in Mode without failure. When you get to the Windows 7 logon screen, log on to the computer and perform all the necessary tasks.
    9. When done with your tasks, starting in Safe Mode, start msconfig.
    10. When the program is opened and you are on the general tab, select the Normal startupoption.
    11. Press the apply button, then the OK button.

    See you soon.

  • Firefox does not, as soon as I open the window solutions, may NOT START in safe MODE?

    Recently, I accidentally begain download some unwanted addons - but I cancelled the download before being finished and quickly removed the programs by uninstalling program files issues. Firefox worked pretty well at the time, but later he started to become less sensitive. I did some cleaning (clear the cache, etc.) and done a virus scan. Has not made a difference.
    Eventually he started to get like some that I open a firefox browser - becomes inadmissible. The first two times, disconnection and reconnection to my connection int fixed. But now is not working and even after uninstalling and reinstalling firefox, it is inadmissible. I should have the version 6.0.2
    Finally, there is no way I can run firefox in SafeMode because as soon as I open the browser it is inadmissible, which means that I can not even access toolbars.

    -> Close Firefox

    • Click the Firefox button, and then click exit
    • NOW press CTRL + SHIFT + ESC keys to open the--> Task Manager process tab-> click right firefox.exe and click end process tree -> close the Task Manager

    -> Start Firefox in Mode safe by holding down the SHIFT key when you start Firefox

    • As alternative method, use the Win + R key combination and enter one of the following values in the box run Windows:

      • Firefox-safe-mode
      • "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"-safe-mode
      • "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla"-safe-mode

    -> Safe mode of Firefox window will appear-> don't SELECT ANY OPTIONS, just click continue in Safe Mode

    Check and tell if its work while you use Firefox Mode without failure.
