I am trying to get my computer to boot but having problems. It gets to the title page of windows xp and stays there...I wanted to do a system restore but when I go onto log on page my mouse isn't working either.....what should I do?
View 3 RepliesI have a Windows XP Professional Edition and i incurred a spyware virus on my PC, so i made a dumb decision by running MSCONFIG and changing my SAFEBOOT option, I did this because previously I couldn't even get into Safe Mode, it would load the files on the screen.

View 2 Replies View Relatedi did a previous thread of my computer being slow, ignore that one... i got a much serious problem. Someone told me to go into safemode so i just tried to reboot in safe mode. It wouldn't reboot all i saw was a black screen with a mouse cursor so i press the reset button, but this computer is not stable i always haev to press the reset button. Now when i try to restart it jsut reboots again and again. It brings me this blue screen saying STOP:c0000218 {registry file failure} the hive file or sumthing like that and systemrootsystem32configdefault and then it restarts. When i try to go to safe mode i see all these .sys files loading or sumthing and then it gets stuck after like the 20th one. Im on windows 2000, i installed 2000 in cases like these. i found help on a different site. It told me to go to recovery mode, i instert my XP CD and boot it from taht but that doesn't work for sum reason. SO i got my XP boot disks and it works!! BUTTT i go to recovery mode and it restarts and nothing happens! just a plain restart! what can i do!!!
View 12 Replies View RelatedI cannot boot my XP machine. In safe mode it also says safe mode in white text in each corner and shows windows build details at the top. I have trying going back to previous good config - same problem. A normal boot just leads to a black screen with a movable mouse arrow - no sign of a login screen. I have tried a recovery reinstall from a an XP pro CD from another computer - this took about 40 minutes and went through all the steps normally (with normal graphics displayed duting the reinstall) but after finishing the same problem is still there.
Only now the windows build info in sfae mode reports SP1 (originally didi not as the computer was supplied with XP before SP1) I am at a loss to know what to do to get the machine wordking without a refomat of the hard disk, whcih will destroy all my data, and my partners stuff too - mostly not backed up, as usual.
my PC will not start up any more. So i decided to re-install windows XP. The problem is that when I click on safe mode or any other option the computer freezes (after the scripting occurs) and I cant do anything after. Any ideas how to get around this and install windows XP correctly?
View 24 Replies View RelatedI'm using windows xp home sp2 and when ever I try to turn on the computer normally it comes up with a blue screen saying something about
C0000218
system32/config/default or log or replacement
It is corrupt
then resets the computer (the message is something along those lines) When I try booting into safe mode or safe mode with networking it scrolls txt down the screen then resets the computer. The only way I've got into it so far is with knoppix to backup what will fit of my gbs of files on to my laptop via a pen drive.
I started windows Xp in safe mode and my mouse wont respond. I have a serial mouse not a USB mouse.

1) changing power supplies
2) put in a new video card
3) put in a different hard drive with a fresh Windows XP install
4) different memory

View 5 Replies View RelatedI've spent the last two months just trying to get Windows to operate correctly on a new Mac. Unbelievable! I've re-installed XP SP2 too many times to count, finally had it up and thought it was running fine for the last week, then I went over to the Mac OS tried accessing windows through boot camp, it shut down the Mac OS, then when I tried to go back to boot Windows directly, I received the damning <windows root> system32hal.dll file is missing or corrupt - again.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen I try to boot up Windows XP, when its at the windows loading screen with the Windows logo, the bar under it the blue thing will move for about 6 or 7 times and then just freeze and stop. Then I restart the computer and choose to boot in safe mode which is the only mode that works.This is the second time this has happened,the first time it happened through safe mode I got the Windows Xp.iso image from microsoft.com, and then used a product key locator to find it on my pc because I do not have the windows xp boot discs but my original copy of XP is legit.
A couple of programs have stopped working on my PC i.e they don't launch when I select them from the START menu.Help & Support does not launch at all - I have searched the web and tried numerous fixes none of which work.Paint Shop Pro 9 does not launch at all but an entry does appear in the Task Manager list of processes.Nothing adverse is listed in Event Viewer and I have tried rebooting into XP Pro with minimal services started.For what it's worth both programs do work in Safe Mode.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI went into MSCONFIG and checked the box to go into safe mode so i could run some virus scans and adware scans and stuff like that. Now when it gets to the desktop it has the window that says Loading Windows and then after like 2-3 min. it says password is incorrect and that i should retype it and becarefull of caps lock and stuff like that. The thing is don't have a password. It does this when i boot normally too but it lets me hit ok and hit Cancel without a password entered.
All of a sudden it tries logging me in automatically when I start up but the thing is i dont need to log in. So I try to go back into normal mode and Ican't. I hit F8 during startup and went to the Boot Normally option but it still does to safe mode. What do I do? How do I log on or how do I get rid of this password thing? One more thing, the window that tells me the password is wrong has an OK box but theres no mouse on the screen for me to click it and I can't use the keyboard to select it.

It will come up in safe mode, however. Can you help me get my "normal mode" back?When the horizontal moving bar comes up in normal mode, it just goes on forever. I see the disk light go on for about 8 cycles of the bar. It usually runs 11 cycles before giving me the user selection screen. Now the disk light goes out after cycle 8, and the bar keeps going. I waited 32 cycles before giving up.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a pc with Windows XP with SP2 installed. My computer has generally worked fine with little issues, but the other day Norton flagged up a virus issue. The virus was called Trojan.Patchep!inf, and couldn't be removed using Norton.Naturally, I'd have posted this in the malware removal/HJT forum, but I'm now locked out of my system.I need a way to be able to get into Windows before I can pull off any HJT logs or run any applications.The issue I have, is when Windows is loading up. I turn on my computer, and Windows boots up until the scrollbar/loading page. The computer then automatically reboots, and the cycle continues until I just hold the off button to turn off the computer. I've entered the boot menu and attempted the reboot in Safe Mode, and also tried using last working configuration. This has no effect, and still results in the constant restarting of the system.
I don't have a Windows XP disc as it was pre-installed when I bought the computer.For the time being I can boot from disc using Linux Ubuntu. I read about the virus that infected my system, which suggests that files such as winlogon are affected by the virus, which would explain my problems booting. Would it be possible to repair these files from Ubuntu, allowing me to boot the computer with Windows? I can then start a thread in the malware forum, posting HJT logs etc.
Is there any other way to boot in safe mode than F8? Windows XP is not loading properly. It is going to my background with the cursor, but nothing else. I tired to run msconfig from the task manager, but it didn't open. I want to boot in safe mode to do a system restore, but when I restart the computer, the F8 option says "to enable system configuration."
View 14 Replies View RelatedWhen I hit the F8 key, my Windows XP Pro OS takes me to the boot menu screen. I click on Safe Mode, and it scrolls with all the script, briefly, and then kicks into regular boot mode! Normally, with Safe Mode, it scrolls with the funny looking script, stays still for a few moments, and then goes into Safe Mode (after a prompt).
View 11 Replies View RelatedI was playing a video game when all of a sudden the graphics messed up, i could still hear the audio but the graphics were all messed up. About 30 seconds after this began it froze, about a minute later the blue screen of death came on with the error message 0x0000007E.When i restart my computer, the first screen is the Asus m424 MB start up screen and it lets me press delete to go into bios. If i dont go into bios, the next screen is just a black screen. It permenately stays this way. In Bios i can see the SATA hdd and all its specs, i can see the memory. My mother board does not have an onboard video slot, so since i can still see the bios with the monitor plugged in through the Video card, does this mean the Video card is still good? I think its either the mother board or the video that has been fried. Everything looks to be fine. I also tried booting from the XP disc and repairing windows, it did not work. I can also not boot up in any Safe mode at all. This includes VGA Mode, and all the Safe Modes. I get like 10 lines of .sys,
View 7 Replies View RelatedLast night while using my laptop, The screen just went black and wouldn't come back. So booted the computer, and then while booting it had weird green lines up and down the normal windows loading screen. and then when it should have booted up it just went to a weird white screen. I turned it off, tooke the battery out and let it be for awhile, and then when I went back it worked fine, until once again the screen went black. Today it won't start up without safe mode (im on it right now). I ran Spybot, Avast, Malware Bytes, bazooka and it still won't boot.Comp is a Dell Inspiron 9400, 2 GB ram, Geforce Vid card, Windows XP Pro. It was formatted a few months ago, and was running fine before this happed.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI was wondering if anyone here has come across this type of error before. My sisters laptop (Fujitsu Siemens) running on XP was working fine without any malware etc, then one morning she went to switch it on, and it would not boot up into windows xp. The screen switches on and displays the fujitsu siemens logo, then becomes unresponsive. I have tried adjusting most parameters and booting in safe mode.
However I have not had any success with this.
When booting in safe mode, I receive the following error code:
muti(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)WINDOWSsystem32 toskrnl.exe
muti(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)WINDOWSsystem32hal.dll
muti(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)WINDOWSsystem32KDCOM.DLL...
I notice that BOOTVID and Drivers are both mentioned in these errors, so i am sure this is what is preventing XP from starting. The obvious thing to do would be to reboot windows from scratch, but the problem is, XP came preinstalled on the laptop, and therefore, I have no access to files necessary for a reboot. Would anyone know if this computer beyond repair, or is it possible to restore windows in some way?
i cannot boot into safe mode i go through the motions tapping f8 than it goes as far as it lets me select what option i want. i tried safe mode only and safe mode with networking and than it goes to the screen that has all the words across it and than sometimes it boots right into normal mode or it sometimes goes as far as getting into safe mode with the two signin icons on desktop my name and admin which is me too and when i click on either of them it boots right into normal mode.
