• Cannot start windows in safe mode, the work of restoration but still cannot start unless in safe mode

  After a microsoft update beginning 04/04/11 awoke to noisy computer which was start and restart in safe mode.  Pbly. most of the night it was start and restart.  System Restore tried to 3 or 4 different dates, said has been restored, but this does not solve the problem.  Have you tried troubleshooting, nothing helps.  Worked on it for several days without any positive result.  Any advice will be appreciated.

  Hi Grandma fla,.

  1. you remember what update was installed before that the problem occurred?

  2. do you have security software installed on the computer?

  Method 1

  It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

  I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.

  Reset the computer to start as usual

  When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

  (a) click Start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

  (b) If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

  (c) under the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.

  (d) when you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

  Method 2

  If the previous step fails, then you perform the clean boot in order to verify if any device on the computer is the origin of the hardware problem.

  a. click "Start", type "DEVMGMT. MSC"in the search text box and press ENTER.

  b. expand ' audio, video and game controllers ".

  c. right click on your sound card, select "Properties".

  d. click on the "Driver" tab, click Disable the selected device. Click OK

  e. Please use the same method to disable other devices such as: Modem, network card, CD - R drive. Please note that some devices such as the video card are not available should be disabled.

  f. restart the computer and check if it works.

• cannot start computer in safe mode vista

  Laptop was working fine when I went to bed, got up the next morning, you press Ctrl + Alt + Delete and computer is stuck on the welcome.  It's been that way.  I can only boot into Safe Mode - Networking.  Ironically, the problem started after Symantec performed an update on March 22, 2012.  Any suggestions

  Looks like you may have a virus or other malware. Get your updated antivirus program and run a full scan of the system.

  If that suits him fine. If this is not the case, use system restore to go back to an earlier date at the beginning of the problem. To run system restore, click Start-> programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> system restore. Click on the box that says show more restore points.

  -

  You can check the corrupted system files. Open an administrator command prompt and run SFC if the above does not help. Click START, and then type CMD in the search box, right-click on CMD. EXE and click run as administrator. Then, from the command prompt type sfc/scannow.

  -

  Finally if all else fails, you can look at the rather cryptic system event log. To make, click Start-> Control Panel-> administration-> event viewer tools. Once in Event Viewer system log-click and scroll entries looking for these "error" with indicator see if you can find guidance on where the problem may be.

  I hope this helps. Good luck.

• Want to run other than safe mode

  My computer will not get past the taskbar during startup in normal mode (and it takes FOREVER to do).  Have tried the restore without success and some of the tasks in help.  Still can only use the laptop in safe mode.

• Today my Macbook Pro could not start.  He showed me the ban or no symbol.  I was able to access disk utility and run first aid on the SM0256G of SSD Apple media successfully.  Cannot start in normal/safe mode.  Should I delete/install so I can?

  MacBook Pro 13 '' end 2015.  256 GB SSD drive. El Capitan last version 10.11.4. I turned on the Macbook Pro and it could not start.  The progress bar with the Apple Logo would be present but would end not showing the symbol «»  I tried to boot mode safe - no go.  I have not reset PRAM help.  I was able to access disk utility and run successfully the first aid. No help. I was unable to restore two separate backup.  The utility show me backups however when I would go to the next screen and no backup is available.  Disk utility displays the SSD.  Can I erase the disc and download OS X install?  Thank you.

  At this point, there is no need to delete. A new copy of Mac OS X can be installed directly over the old copy. This process replaces the components of Mac OS X on a file by file basis and adds missing ones, there will be no major throwing away what anyone, unless there is a power failure.

  You have already run disk first aid.

  Now use mode of recovery (command + R to start) to "Re-install Mac OS X. It should install the latest revision of the main version that you ran last.

• Acer Aspire laptop bluescreened, will not start even in safe mode, running vista

  My roommates son asked me to help him to be on the internet, which I did, ran unusually slow in doing so, I noticed it when I checked, I found that the notebook had three solutions of different software protection, antivirus, Norton, McAffrey and AVG 2011 version for free. Also I noticed he had some solutions that provided a diagnosis, list of problems found and wanted to pay for the product before they would allow acccess to the fix. I uninstalled Norton and the McAffrey and improved the AVG free version of 2012. I also uninstalled the pesky diagnosis/buy me for the correction and the ask.com toolbar software. I installed ccleaner from piriform as well. The laptop seems to run a little faster, but the next morning he projected blue and when I tried to start it in safe mode it not loaded so far and then frozen, always in the same spot something AVGi and then it crashes, it will not load the rest of the necessary drivers. I tried to boot to the last known good as well. I even tried to downgrade to Windows xp home edition sp3 and when I do it it says there is no hard drive detected, and do I have to make sure that it works correctly.  I am at a loss, my sons friends bought the laptop (Acer Aspire 5315) for $50.00 and did not get a recovery disk so that the option does not exist or the other. What can I do to solve this problem. I'm sure that for some reason, it has to do with the BIOS and I went to the Acer site (from my laptop) and downloaded something to repair the bios on a flash drive, but me is not good because I can not start on either flash player. I am at a loss here and have no idea how to solve this problem. I am practically self-taught and I am a beginner when it comes to repairing the problems. This one is right behind me, someone has an idea what is my problem?

  I even tried to downgrade to Windows xp home edition sp3 and when I do it it says there is no hard drive detected, and do I have to make sure that it works correctly.

  If you tried to install Windows XP, and it says that? Do you have any installation CD? I don't want to say this, but maybe the hard drive went kaput. Maybe a little rare, but it can happen and so he bought the laptop for $50, which I am sure he did not a store. You hear a clicking sound from the hard drive? Have you checked for the hard drive in the BIOS?

• Satellite L300 will not start even in safe mode

  Hello.

  Whenever I turn on my laptop, it shows me two options: start windows normally or perform a system repair.
  I tried both of these options, but I can't seem to access the page where I have to enter my password to access my desktop, I tried a number of things by pressing F8 during startup, including startup repair up to and restore to the previous point, but nothing happened.

  I have the vista operating system and it seems to freeze immediately after loading (the long rectangular bar with the Green thing from left to right, saying Microsoft Corp. below). It freezes... the page is all black and my cursor is there, I can move the cursor, but nothing is there to click on. HDD/ODD lights do not Flash indicating that the laptop is not all 'work '.

  In addition, it took me to a page where he was "collection of data for the crashdump"... don't know what this means but yes and it also took me to a page where it says 'one of your disks should be checked for consistency. He also posted a message saying that the registry file failure does not load. Systemreboot/System32/config/system

  I start it in safe mode and it shows a bunch of files and says please wait.
  After my computer goes on a blank page (all black) but I can see and move my cursor and it is bigger than usual so I guess he's about to go to safe mode, but just, he remains on the screen and does nothing else.
  He was about 35 minutes and it's still at this screen, that nothing has changed.

  Thanks for your help :)

  Hello

  Try to recover the device by using the drive HARD recovery option.
  I hope you didn t change anything on the HARD drive recovery partition.
  HARD drive recovery allows you to reinstall the operating system without the use of all disks!

  Turn on the device, press F8, choose repair my computer and choose the option to drive HARD recovery.
  Usually, it would begin the new installation of the OS. But note; HARD drive recovery option would be to format the whole HARD drive, which means that you will lose all files stored on the HARD drive.

• Windows starts only in safe mode after refomatting

  I reformatted computer my husband, during the process of re-setup the computer shut down & restarted in safe mode. I can't the computer to start Windows normally, it starts only in safe mode or at least what looks like safe mode. I am trying to install Windows XP Home Edition. I was not able to install any device to connect to the internet on this subject, so I can install SP3.

  Can someone help me solve this problem please

  Hi Malinda1979,

  Since you formatted and installed windows, its non-secure mode. Try to install display drivers. You can check if the display drivers are installed correctly click Start-> settings-> Control Panel-> system. Hardware-> display adapters. If you have any yellow exclamation next to any device, you must install the drivers.

  I hope this helps.

  * You need to install all the drivers of your motherboard / driver cd (which came with your pc), including the chipset, sound... etc.

  If it's a laptop brand / Office (HP, Dell, Acer, etc), you can visit the manufacturing site and select the model and download the latest orders.
