I uninstalled 3 times and reinstalled with the same results. A last one being a service pk 3 that I downloaded and installed in safe mode.

It has been installed and working before the clean install of windows with pk3. I removed the patration from the hard drive, write 000 to the dick and reformatted before clean install of xp. It will work with service pk 2 is installed.

I checked the forums and he Goggled and could not find a solution

You must install SP3 before you install your antivirus program. This can be done safely by downloading the file in advance and install while physically disconnected from the Internet. In addition, you should keep IE at the level before installing SP3 IE6.

    It seems that the bootmanger is corrupt or something like this

    > I really don't want to lose all my contacts!

    I know, I Safe mode, you have access to all data on the hard drive. So, you can move all the important data on USB or on the partition (if available) 2 nd on your hard drive and you don't need to remove the hard drive
    Then you can reinstall Windows with a recovery disc or by using the disk copy of Win. This is the best solution in your case, try to fix windows can take a lot of time as a new installation.

    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

    The entry/SafeBoot are removed from the Boot.ini file.

    If you are still able to start a normal Windows there is a work around.

    In Windows, search programs and files box, type "msconfig".

    Select the Startup tab and choose start as in the image below. Now, restart the laptop and you should start in Windows safe mode.

    Don't forget to go back into msconfig later you will start up in the normal Windows installation again. If you forget to do this, it will always start in safe mode.

    Black screen problems are extremely difficult to repair and all hotfix is usually a hit or miss
    base. That there is no information on a black screen as there is just a blue screen
    adds to the difficulty. Often using a restore point or Startup Repair will have no effect.
    You can try a google to see the proposed repairs, whom some have worked however these
    cover a wide field of efforts.

  • Computer hangs, reboot, can only start in safe mode

    Original title:-i can only start in safe mode

    Ive tried to use several restore points but when I try to reboot the computer freezes and I have to start in safe mode

    Safe mode is a mode where Windows works only the bare minimum programs and processes necessary to the performance of your system.  When you start in Normal mode, many more processes and applications running.  At least one of these programs or process causes your computer to crash.  If your task is to identify this program/process and, at least temporarily, to prevent it from running at startup.  Microsoft has a tool that you can use to selectively disable or or the process that normally run at startup called "msconfig".  It can be a long and exhausting iterative process of turning things off and restart to see if it you fixed program, but that's what you do:

    "How to solve configuration errors by using the System Configuration utility in Windows XP"

    <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310560/en-us >

    First, disable all items "start-up".  If it does not, set it to 'Services '.  If this does not work, then reactivate some of them and try again until you zero - in on the culprit.

    At this point, I have lost Norton 360 v 3?

    I contacted norton and they have been very helpful, they re-installed norton remotely.

    they are just me to reboot my pc

    My pc is restarted, I got the blue screen and could only restart in safe mode, I had to again, restore the system to get online and I lost norton, but the Startup icons are still there.

    The problem may be caused by the incompatible Norton (Symantec) with the hardware or software you installed recently.

    Uninstall Norton (Symantec) in Mode completely safe

    1. reboot the computer and start pressing the F8 on the keyboard key. On a computer that is configured to start to multiple operating systems, please press the F8 key when you see the boot menu.

    2. when the Windows Advanced Options menu appears, select Safe Mode, and then press ENTER.
