XP Pro won't boot in safe mode

manwex:
"They offered me an immediate refund OR to guide me through the fix."

If that was your experience with MoonValleySoft, then that is a change from my past experience with them. I'm glad it worked for you, but the solution I found to work did not require me to pay upfront... it was in a free trial version.

Re: Safemode Fixer OK

Ok with me,
pushed the button, fixed it at the first attempt.

No need of support, i had my antivirus out of the game but the fixer worked fine.
Just my 2 cents.

it worked,
just a tip, run the system check option before, seems things get lot smoother thereafter

I found this Xp SP2 Safe Mode Repair reg file, which should fix it

I have a similar problem. My computer runs fine but when I went go to boot up in safe mode to make changes it just starts normally. I tried several time hitting the F8 Key and just starts regularly. Kaspersky says I have the 'HEUR:Trojan.Win32.Generic' could this be what is causing this problem?

Here it is

The regfile did not work for me,
i believe it depends on your exact version of Xp and your hardware and software installed. I would not like to mess the registry up, the consequences could be way too painful

I tried Safe Mode Fixer , it did work after rebooting again (though not at the first hit).
I do not know why, but i am quite happy that it solved it.
I guess that the old good kick on the case helped (at least that's what my wife likes to believe...)
For whom needs it

error 0x00000024

I have a problem with my windows. i cannot even enter safe mode. an error with blue screen will appear. i tried to do recovery using the windows XP disk, but once the disk want to setup windows, the blue screen appear again. Please help.

re: help

hi,
safe mode fixer can help you fix the safe mode, but it look like you need to fix everything,
if the windows cd does not work it could be an hardware failure

folks, let me ask you, if my safe mode does not boot anymore but i already removed the virus, assuming the problem was caused by the virus, would that software help me

Windows xp home edition. When pressing F8 I scrolled to each safe mode, the pc freezes, I tried "start windows normally", it counts down to zero...suppose to start....it freezes again. Each time I power off to try again. Windows 7 cd was tried...nothing. Where can I get a safe mode repair cd?

Thank you

My Xp would not load

It's been awhile since I was here. To reflect, my pc would not load at all. I ddi try the F-8 and F-12, installed new mother board, no good, bought new cd for my pc...no good. I ended up replacing the CPU ! that worked, I didn't loose any data, pics, vids...etc. All is good
I want to thank everyone that gave me support, ideas and solutions to my problem.


Thank you all again

My pc won't load....Oh yea one more thing

The new CPU was 20 dollars

Help

Pressing F8 does nothing for me. My computer is looping or freezing right before the login screen. I can't start in safe mode, I'm stuck...

I ended up replacing the CPU

You should update your A/V program first and or get an antispyware program, install, update then run a full scan of the system. A spyware, virus and the likes always attempts to block all possible avenues that could be used to get rid of them, so dont hope you can get to safe mode safely

If this doesnt yield, consider backing up your files and doing a fresh install of your O/S.

When you do a forced shut down, the HDD drive could do a alittle coughing (I have experienced this a couple of times). Go to the recovery console, run "chkdsk /r" after which you might need to repair your windows installation

I have the same problem as manwex

manwex I have the same problem as you. Can you tell me how they walked you through getting Normal Mode to boot or could anybody else help please?
