XP will only start in safe mode and System Restore does not resolve the problem

Don't know not if this is related to the same reported people of BSOD problems after recent updates, but from Tuesday my computer does not start in normal mode.  I can get it to boot in safe mode, however I tried to restore to several different restore points and nothing seems to solve the problem.  Any suggestions?

Hello

Many people face this problem after the latest version of windows update on the XP machine. I would like to know where are the updates that have been installed on your computer Tuesday. You can view them from the Windows update history by examining it from the Windows update site.

In case, if the KB977165 has been installed then, take a look at this thread and check if this helps you boot normally to the desktop.
http://social.answers.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/vistawu/thread/73cea559-ebbd-4274-96bc-e292b69f2fd1

If the update history shows the other updates in the history list, please let us know the xxxxxx KB (number) updates, so that we can try to help you the best.

We hope to hear from soon.

Kind regards

  • Explorer Windows crashed. No taskbar in safe mode. System Restore does not help you.

    Hello. I have a problem with my Windows 7 desktop. A few days ago I can't run my iTunes, I searched it upward into the Apple tech support website and as said: uninstall, remove remaining files, delete the temporary folder. When you delete the temporary folder, I created another folder inside and moved the files to the folder I created. Some aren't s mobile because they were still running (active). I just deleted the folder that I created that contains the files that were inactive. When I turn it on yesterday (December 20) and log in to my user account (standard user), there's a pop window saying "windows Explorer crashed. Please close the program. We will notify you when a solution was found"I closed the window and waited. After that the window was closed, none of the desktop icons and the taskbar is visible. I waited for an hour and nothing happened. This also happens to other user accounts. I shut down the computer by using the Task Manager. I did the same thing today (21 dec) and it's the same thing. I tried the system restore, but it's always the same. I tried to boot in SafeMode as administrator to perform the clean boot. The taskbar is not visible. I pressed windows on the keyboard button and the taskbar appears. But the bar 'start' is no upward. I clicked on the Start button and the bar 'start' is not yet up. Help, please. Thank you.

    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.

    fix my computer when windows start dump then launch startup, but does not solve the problem. Can you help me solve the problem

    Hi Wwiese,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I understand from the description of the problem, the computer freezes in the commissioning on the Windows 7 computer.

    I would appreciate if you can help me with the following information.

    1 were there any hardware or software changes made on the computer before this problem?

    2. are you able to boot into office?

    3. you receive an error message/code?

    I suggest you try these methods and check if it helps.

    Method 1

    Disconnect all external devices (printers, scanner, USB (universal serial bus) drives, etc...) Except the keyboard and mouse and then start.

    If this solves the problem, then add back devices at a time until you discover the piece of hardware causing the issue. Then download drivers software updated for this particular device.

    Method 2

    Try to start in last good known Configuration and see if you can start very well.

    Using the last good known Configuration

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/is-is/Windows7/using-last-known-good-configuration

    Method 3

    Start the computer in safe mode and check if the problem persists, if the question does not persist then perform the clean boot and check if the problem resolves.

    Step 1

    Safe mode starts Windows with a limited set of files and drivers. Startup programs do not work in safe mode, and only the basic drivers needed to start Windows are installed. Please click the below mentioned link.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

    Step 2

    Put the computer in a clean boot state to see if there is a software conflict as the clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Note: After completing the steps in the clean boot troubleshooting, follow step 3 from the link to start the computer to a Normal startupmode.

    Method 4

    If the problem persists, I suggest you perform a startup repair and check if it makes a difference.

  • Windows XP will only start in safe mode after Windows updated 09/02/2011

    We have seven Windows XP SP3 computers.  All are set to download/install automatic updates every day at 03:00.  Today, one of them does not start in normal mode.  When the user arrives at 08:30, screen was black and would not, if power to monitor and PC were in.  The user powered PC turned off/on.  He came normally too far that the screen blue, just before the login box appears, sucked to boot options.  Boot in safe mode and safe mode with networking mode.  Restart in safe mode after shows the same result.  The event log shows a SaveDump:

    A suggestion: as stated above, I thought I was wrong this posted in the Windows 7 Forum.  In fact, the link under XP for updates takes you to the Forum Windows 7 > Windows Update.  It seems that it would be less confusing, if questions update go to a forum, out of Windows 7 and Windows Update as a stand-alone speaker.

    * HELP! *

    Windows starts only in safe mode or safe mode with network. My screen is messed up (black and gray with horizontal lines and the screen looks like it scrolls continuously).

    I connected the laptop to an external monitor and it still does not start normally and I need to recover contacts from my iphone from itunes.

    Is there something I can do? I really don't want to lose all my contacts! I have to remove the hard drive and it burst in another machine and try to start windows normally to have access to my current drive with all the data that is on it, but I don't know if it works or if it's a bad idea.

    What could be causing the screen get all dirtied upwards and at the same time windows does not start normally? I have never had a virus before problems!

    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]

    (e) click OK

    (f) restart Windows

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