Update Wont Install ,cant Use Safe Mode

Mar 18, 2009

Last week, I was unable to install Microsoft updates. They failed every time. I overcame this by doing a system restore to an earlier date before the previous updates. They then installed. However I was left with Microsoft Net framework 3.5 Service pack 1 which failed to install. I went to Microsoft download site and downloaded from there. The my troubles started, in that now on opening my machine it tries to configure these updates and says on screen "configuring 3 of 3" gets to 87% then closes automatically and restarts the process overagain. I tried to open in "safemode" but exactly the same thing happens. Is there anything I can do to stop this, or am I forced in to doing a restore to factory settings, or I note that I have another option of "last known good configuration (advanced)". As I am not advanced this causes me concern.

X64 New Install: Slow Internet Connection In Normal Mode; Fast In Safe Mode

Oct 12, 2009

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..........

Difficult Issue: Audio In Safe Mode: How To Manually Install If Possible

Jun 29, 2009

Vista Home premium, SP2. HP Pavilion Notebook. Have to run in -SAFE mode with networking- for next week till new hard drive arrives.

I will then install it as my computer will not boot in normal mode. HP Warranty is replacing hard drive.

But as an aside, I can access my hard drive and copy files to my external HDD.

In the meantime, I wish to use the Internet to access audio via HULU or other sites.

How can I manually access my audio while in safe mode?

Cant Get Out Of Safe Mode!

Mar 23, 2008

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.

Safe Mode

Jun 26, 2008

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.

Can't Get Out Of Safe Mode?

Mar 23, 2008

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.

Apr 24, 2008

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?

Not Boot Into Safe Mode Or Normally

Jan 19, 2010

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?

Booting In Safe Mode

Nov 3, 2009

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?

Only Boots Into Safe Mode

Mar 29, 2009

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

Safe Mode And Tried To Uninstall

Dec 13, 2008

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?..

Safe Mode Won't Work

May 4, 2008

I had tried to see if I could use one monitor for 2 computers and now I'm unable to get back to the way it was. In display settings they showed screen 1 and 2. I had asked to few screen 2 and that did it. There are no icons, nothing. Just background. No start either. I am however able to right click and get to the control panel, but some places will not respond like the one I need to get to. (Display settings) Safe mode won't even work. Can't even get to the registry.

Safe Mode Not Working

Sep 10, 2009

I am using ASUS G51VX which I purchased last month. Since each time I wanted to install files which are over 1GB will become extremely slow. I decide to use the ASUS recovery disc to recover my Vista home premium. However, now each time after the loading screen, my PC will not process and enter the Window. I tried also with safe mode but it is not working.

Safe Mode Does't Work

Dec 8, 2009

I have a file on my desktop called gv.com.gamesforwindows_640x360.mov. It was a video about gaming. It's 45.5 MB and I can't get it to delete. Right-clicking it and doing Properties doesn't open the Properties window. If I move it to the recycle bin (with the keyboard delete button or the mouse, or Shift and Delete) the "Calculation time remaining" delete dialogue comes up and the progress bar keeps on flashing, but it never deletes the file. The file does not seem to be in use by any programs. Renaming the file or its extension doesn't help. If I try to add the file to Kaspersky Anti-Virus' quarantine, even Kaspersky freezes in a not-responding state. Opening the file crashes the player. Using many force-deletion programs doesn't work either. I have even opened the file with Notepad and deleted the gibberish-text and tried to save it but that crashes Notepad! Safe Mode also doesn't work. Is there any other way to delete this file without attaching the drive to another computer and trying to delete it from there? If I boot with the Vista DVD and enter command prompt through it's Repair centre, what do I enter to delete it from there?

Cannot Boot Into Safe Mode By Pressing F8

Aug 14, 2008

I let my brother borrow my computer and he gave it back with some malware that caused it to run very slow. Best-buy did the scan and found that some of the system32 files got screwed up. I cannot boot into safe mode by pressing F8 and its driving me crazy. I had the files backup and reformatted the HDD instead of paying the $130 for best buy. Even after the reformat i still cannot boot into safe mode. Nothing is found by my kaspersky, webroot, or adaware software. I can boot into safe mode by turning the power key off. I also did the sfc but it said "98% verified with corrupt files found" but when i went to the log it said that all the files were verified and no files were repaired. I'm really just worried that the problem is still there even after using the recovery disk. I'm not really sure where to go from this point. My computer is a Toshiba Qosmio with vista ultimate
