Restarted In Safe Mode To Uninstall And Reinstall
Nov 22, 2008
At the moment I have no Office because I was advised when Word 2003 would crash on start and have to be restarted in safe mode to uninstall and reinstall it. Now I can't get it loaded at all. My very expensice IT guy spent 2 hours and gave up the HP people (this is a brand new laptop) said Vista isn't compatible with Office Pro 2000 which we upgraded from...I have 8 computers running 2003...The other issue is that when I click on a message in hotmail it crashes. No message, just a freeze. What a hassle - I have no Outlook because of problem 1 and no hotmail because of problem 2. Wish I'd been warned... I guess I really was - all those HP machines with extra cost to be 'downgraded' to XP.

turns out that most likely the culprit for my computer acting different is because of Microsoft Office. The problem I have is with not being able to get microsoft updates, open control panel, etc. I went into safe mode and tried to uninstall, but it would not let me. So I cold deleted from the program files folder. However, now that I'm in regular mode, my computer is still acting like before. How do I resolve this?..

Using my ISP (Roadrunner Carolinas) speed test site; I get around 200 to 400 kbps download speeds using IE in normal mode. If I boot to Safe Mode, I get around 3500 to 4500 kbps, which is what it should be (this is what I used to get in normal mode before I re-installed Vista). Running the same speed test with Firefox, I get around 1500 to 2000 kbps in normal mode, but if I try to download a file it ransfers at only the 200 to 400 kbsp rate (if I'm lucky). Here's more detail about the system and what I've done so far:
Installed all updates including SP2.
Using Windows Firewall, no anti-virus.
Updated network drivers directly from NVidia (Chipset is nForce750i)
Updated graphics card drivers directly from NVidia
Disabled all LAN protocols except for Client for Microsoft Networks and IPv4
Connected via ethernet cable directly to cable modem, no router.
I've deliberately refrained from loading anything but the basics until I can get this sorted out..........

I used to have it on my computer.
But last time I tried to play it didn't work.
It said that I have to re-install it. But when I put the disc in it say that it cant find the location folder.
So I tried to un-install, but it say I cant do that.
I looked through previous threads here, and found one about how to delete it from the start menu -> regedit etc.
Follewed the intstructions, but I dont have a EA game folder, Maxis folder or any other folder for the game.

I ran four businesses with Windows XP and Outlook Express email entities. I now have Vista and much to my chagrin, Windows Mail has no such option. I'd like to spend ten minutes alone with an aluminum baseball bat and the whiz kid who thought up that little improvement. Also, the idiotic way to create shortcuts in Vista. I run gun auctions on the internet and need to do shortcuts all the time for various auctions as they update. I now have a Dell Studio XPS 435TM with 12 gig RAM. Can I uninstall Vista and reinstall my old XP program so I can replace Windows Mail with Outlook Express again?

I've tried and tried, please I hope you can help me. I have a Toshiba A215-4817 laptop with Vista Home Premium 32bit. My troubles began when my cd/dvd was not operating properly. Toshiba support said my operating system was corrupt. I didn't believe that just because the cd/dvd wasn't working properly that the os is corrupt, maybe they were right.
I have extremely important info on my hd as I do taxes for a living.
In an effort to trouble shoot the cd/dvd I booted into safe mode. No-one tole me that the administrator account is disabled by default! So now I can't get out of safe mode. I have access to only my limited user account and uac is enabled. System restore doesn't change boot options.
I can't edit registry = access denied, cmd.exe when trying to activate administrator account = system error 5.

My son kept shutting the laptop w/o powering down and now it starts in safe mode. The first time I rebooted and this solved the problem but now that won't work. I can't get it to go back to normal. This has happened in the past but I can't remember what I did to fix it.

I had an issue with one of my games and it directed me to go into safe mode to uninstall it. Now that it's uninstalled, I can't get out of safe mode. I've been through this forum in and out. I've done nearly all the things that it has stated that come close to my issue. I'm still in here. I've been in and out for 3 hours now. I've gone through the msconfig, and told it to restart in normal mode, I'm still in safe mode. I've used the F8 button while starting it, and told it to go to safe mode, I'm still here. I've even checked to see if it was the resolution, I've set it to my default settings of 1280x720, and restart it, it's still in safe mode. I've done EVERYTHING that I can think of.

I press f5 or is it f8. but either way I get to the Safe Mood Selection screen and no matter what option I select, Safe Mode or Safe Mode with Prompts, of Safe Mood with Network support, it doesn't matter it boots normal to my user sign in screen and then it freezes.. no mouse or keyboard functions... If I run the recovery disk and tool options then mouse and keyboard work but I still cannot boot up in safe mode nor can I boot up normal.. I just need to get into safe mode and then I believe I can resolve this but since I can't get into safe mode I don't know what else to do?

I have a new motherboard (abit nh-m2sv), X2 +3800 processor, 2 gig pc4200 memory ATI graphics, DVD RW, Maxtor SATA drive, all are suppose to be Vista ready, but vista either won't install, or installs with BSOD's then will only run in Safe Mode.
I have tried Home Basic and premium, the same issue, I install my old faitful XP and it goes straight in. I have run memtest, all fine, I have removed the gfx card, no change, I have tried an IDE hdd rather than a SATA no change.

Vista will not boot into Safe mode or Normally. The mouse pointer sits on the screen and can be moved but the logon screen does not appear. When I go into startup repair it says it "Could not detect a problem". I have run a chkdsk /f which ran clean. What else can I try to make the logon screen appear?

I?m have a troubling issue with my computer as it is stuck on a cycle boot when it passes the windows loading screen and then it simply restarts and does a POST test again. I tried pushing F8 key and selecting all the options
safe mode
safe mode with command prompt
safe mode with networking
Go to last working configuration (advanced)
Start Windows Normally ect....
but as I selected safe mode all the windows emergency drivers are loading then the screen go black and repeats the same problem above. I don?t have a cdrom neither an fdd only a usb flash drive.

I have a dell laptop with Vista factory installed. The other day is stopped booting and it can not repair itself. I am attempting to get into safe mode to check a few things out. However pressing or holding F8 while rebooting does not work for me. I have tried about 50 times. If I can not get windows to load are there any other ways through the command prompt or something to get windows to load in safe mode?

1) Installed Vista Ultimate - all worked fine no issues - besides not bieng able to detect more thn 9 channels.
2) I removed my Kworld DBV-T driver after having restarted and it detected
the panasonic chiset driver.
3) Restarted again recieved 0x0000007e,
4) Safemode and i got 0x0000008e
5) Tried to restore last known good config i got STOP: C0000218 (registry file failure)

I have a computer I can only boot into safe mode. I recently rebuilt a cannabolized HP computer and I cannot boot the machine into windows. I have tried three different, working, hard drives on it, but have had no luck. One of the drives is the original to the machine and runs Vista Ultimate 32bit. Vista booted suceessfully prior to the cannabolization. The second hard drive runs XP Home and also boots into Safe Mode only. The third hard has no OS so I tried installing a commercial version of Vista which was unsuccessful. Computer would crash. I ran a few hardware tests and the memory, cpu, optical drive, and hard drive check out. I don't think anything is wrong with the motherboard as the computer worked fine before. The computer is stable in BIOS setup, and when booting to optical disc. No POST errors.
The hardware I added should be compatible with the motherboard (M2n68-Narra2) as I checked with HP website. The hardware I added: Antec 500watt power supply, DDR2 8Gb Ram, Sony DVD drive, Samsung 640Gb HD, Thermaltake CPU cooler, AMD X2 5600+ processor. I am out of ideas on how to make the computer boot into Windows
