I changed the setting by running %26quot;MSCONFIG%26quot; file (BOOT.INI - marked %26quot;safe mode%26quot;) to run the system in safe mode so that I can scan my laptop for viruses.
It started in SAFE MODE but is not accepting the password to log on to windows (I am sure the password is correct). Now that I want to change back to NORMAL MODE log on, it doesn't works. I pressed F8 key to run the NORMAL MODE but it always goes in SAFE MODE. I cant make changes in MSCONFIG file since I am not able to log on to syste.
Please help... how I can change back to NORMAL MODE?
I tried to press ALT+CTRL+DEL, while being in safe mode log on... but it does not work.
Might be something disabled for higher security.
How to return to %26quot;normal mode%26quot; from %26quot;safe mode%26quot; in windows xp professional?
re boot
How to return to %26quot;normal mode%26quot; from %26quot;safe mode%26quot; in windows xp professional?
The only difference between safe mode and normal mode is which drivers are loaded - nothing to do with security. Start in safe mode, log in as Administrator (no password), and run msconfig. If you can't, you need more help than you can get here - bring the computer to someone who can boot from a Linux CD and reset your boot files.

DELL laptop m140 desktop flashing on off then totally off?
I can tell you that the Acer has nothing to do with whats happening to the Dell. Maybe computer is over heating or to many items plug into the same outlet. if those 2 are not it then you got a hardware problem.

Certain changes in my Earlier Question. Please help?
Computer problem....Please help?
I use Windows XP Professional. So, I have basically two problems.
Problem1:
Whenever I switch on my computer it says %26quot;Invalid file boot.ini Loading from C:\Windows\%26quot; and then the Windows start booting.
Problem 2:
I used Nero 7. I uninstalled it. I wanted to install Nero 8 but it said that some cab file is corrupt and it rolled back all the actions performed.
Then I tried installing the Nero 7 back and it says the same thing and rolled back every action.
What is the matter with my computer?? How to eradicate these problems???
I don't have any System32 file in my C:\Program files\Windows\
I forgot to mention that a new file is created named User Images.bmp containing funny emoticons.
Many of my files of any extension (nothing in particular) are blue in color. Why is that??
I use avira as my antivirus
Certain changes in my Earlier Question. Please help?
Re-Install your windows it is the esiest and probably fastest way

To fix the boot.ini problem, open 'Notepad' (Start%26gt;all Programs%26gt;Accessories) copy the following and paste it into notepad, save as 'newboot'
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partiti鈥?br>
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WI鈥?Windows XP Professional%26quot; /NOEXECUTE=OPTIN /FASTDETECT
Click Start right click My Computer choose Properties%26gt;Advanced tab.
Under startup and Recovery click Settings then Edit. Replace the boot.ini (highlight all and press backspace) with the one saved in Notepad as 'newboot', click Ok%26gt;Apply%26gt;OK restart.
Download, install, update and run full scans, in safe mode*, with these programs...
http://www.malwarebytes.org
http://www.superantispyware.com
Then re-start.
If you still can't run a scan, go into the scanner's folder and re-name the .exe file to 'MyFile.exe' and try in safe mode again. Some malware prevent the execution of anti spy/mal/virus scans by blocking them by name.
You should consider getting rid of norton for a good Anti-Virus program.

My system files are on the wrong volume...?
I had 2 partitions, c: and d:, c=windows and programs d=files, backup, etc..
i formatted c: and reinstalled windows XP, then windows installed
/windows
/program files
/documents and settings
etc..
inside C:
BUT!! it installed all the root system files (ntldr, boot.ini, command.com, ntdetect.com etc.) and some others on D: !!
but i want my D: shared, and organized and Neet.
How can i change their call path to be able to move them to C:
thx a lot !
My system files are on the wrong volume...?
If your computer boots up from disk C: then all is well. No problem. The system files may be on C and hidden.
If the computer does not boot from C: as it should go to drive D at the command prompt. When you get to D:%26gt; type:
sys C:
this will put the system on drive C:
My system files are on the wrong volume...?
Windows, AV and firewall are all that need to be on C drive, the rest on the other partition, which means you have to manually pick the drive to where if goes otherwise it will by default put it on c drive?loreal hair gives out fashion advice

How can I redownload Windows XP on my computer if I acidentally deleted it? (PLEASE HELP!!!) (involves Linux)?
please read this cause I'm desperate to get Windows XP (Home Edition) back. read this whole thing if you can but the main question is in the last paragraph. I've had a Sony Vaio home computer for over 3 years now and it originally had Windows XP installed on it and my dad said something about the computer first asking him if he wanted to make a Recovery Disk cause it didn't come with a Windows Startup disk or a Recovery disk. well he did make it and the computer burned the files onto a DVD+R disk but that disk never helped fix Windows XP.
there was one day when my brother accidentally pressed the power button on the side of the computer instead of shutting the computer down. that happened many times before and nothing happened but after that time, whenever I started the computer back up, this message would always come up when my computer started up (below, and my question continues after the message so please keep reading!)
We aplogize for the inconvenience, but Windows did not start successfully. A recent hardware or software change might have caused this.
If your computer stopped responding, restarted unexpectedly, or was automatically shut down to protect your files and folders, choose Last Known Good Configuration to revert to the most recent settings that worked.
If a previous startup attempt was interrupted due to a power failure or because the Power or Reset button was pressed, or if you aren't sure what caused the problem, choose Start Windows Normally.
Safe Mode
Safe Mode with Networking
Safe Mode with Command Prompt
Last Known Good Configuration (your most recent settings that worked)
Start Windows Normally
Use the up and down arrow keys to move the highlight to your choice.
--------------------------------------鈥?br>
well that was the whole message that showed up. none of the Safe Modes ever worked when I tried them and when I tried Last Known Good Configuration or Start Windows Normally then it would start to load then the computer restarted and went back to that same message. and I did try the F8 options thing and nothing on that list helped.
But I fortunately had a Linux (Ubuntu) disk made a long time ago and I always used that as a Live disc to go on the internet and stuff but that was really slow and sucked. so I actually installed Ubuntu on this computer and I accidentally deleted Windows XP. I've been using it for the past 2 months and I really don't like Ubuntu at all and I really want Windows XP back. so what I want to know is if I actually have to go out and find something like a Windows Startup disk or a Windows Recovery disk. and if I do then where can I find one? but if there is an actual way to reinstall it on this computer by using Ubuntu and its internet or bring it back without going and getting that disk then please let me know =] or would it work if I borrowed someones disk?
(and also I already tried the way where you get the Boot.ini, NTLDR, and Ntdetect.com files from another computer and put them onto a disk and stick it in this computer)
I would really appreciate it if someone could help or at least tell me some options that I have but nothing expensive.

You may still have windows on your computer but by putting Ubuntu on and if it does not come up with a bootloader screen EG windows / ubuntu you will never get windows back as original.
Find a friend who has a copy of windows
Download %26quot; Hirens Boot CD %26quot; burn to disk and boot from it
Choose section 1 Partition magic and reformat and partition your hard drive in NTFS
Then use friends or bought copy of windows to reinstall it

Virus: "Security Tool"... help!?
Read my story about how my PC went from bad, to worse, to absolute ******* train wreck, and weep. And try to help...
Okay, so my PC had been acting a bit weird, but mostly with Firefox. A lot of websites would time out, and I was getting pop-up ads for the first time in forever, which would open up a new window in IE disguised as Firefox (the symbol was Firefox's but it showed IE running in the processes). I downloaded Opera and tried that out for a while, but it didn't have any of those problems, so it had to be Firefox.
I uninstalled Firefox, and told Avast to run a thorough boot scan, and I planned on reinstalling Firefox after that was done. But for reasons I can't explain, that only made things worse. When the computer restarted, and the scan finished, and viruses were supposedly fixed, the first thing I saw was a thing called %26quot;Security Tool%26quot; doing an obviously fake virus scan, and telling me I have a bunch of phony viruses on my computer, and that I need to buy their software to get rid of them. Since I've never seen or heard of %26quot;Security Tool%26quot; before, I didn't fall for it. But it wouldn't stop bothering me. On top of that, and maybe this isn't related to Security Tool, but all the icons on my desktop weren't showing, my desktop picture was gone and replaced with blue, and I couldn't open any programs! Some were temperamental, but most wouldn't open at all.
I managed to get Avast open again, to see if it can't do another scan and remove this sonuvabitch, but I blue-screened in the middle of the scan. ****!
I did some research on Security Tool, and to no surprise, it's a virus disguised as an antivirus. I read instruction on how to end the process, delete the registry files, etc... but all that had to be done in safe mode. I tried booting in safe mode the normal way (press F8 while booting) but it said %26quot;We apologize for the inconvenience, but Windows did not start successfully. A recent hardware or software change might have caused this.%26quot; Every time I tried to boot into safe mode, I got that message, but it'd boot into the normal mode just fine.
Then I read about another way I can get it to boot into safe mode, which involved Run%26gt;msconfig%26gt;boot.ini%26gt;safeboot. I tried that, and now I'm really ******. It still won't boot in safe mode, I'm still getting that same message, and to make matters worse, the same exact thing happens when I try to boot in normal mode.
So there you have it. It started with me having some minor issues with Firefox, and it ended with my computer not even being able to get to the log-in screen. What can I do? I don't have the money for a computer guy and I don't have my OS install disc.
If the whole world is going to conspire against me, can't it wait until I can afford to deal with this crap?
Virus: %26quot;Security Tool%26quot;... help!?
Really do not want to make you feel any worse but reinstalling os will not solve the problem.. This virus is a old virus with a new twist. It has the ability to rewrite itself almost as fast as you can get rid of it. The tool
used to remove is Malwarebytes.org. But it has to be used in safe mode
to isolate the virus. The name of the malwarebytes file has to be changed
from mbam.exe to xxxx.exe to fool the virus. This step enables the scan to run. The error you related,windows did not....... you shoud not see that
because windows files do not load till after you click on safe mode page.
Make sure you are taping F8 as soon as you turn it on. Have provided links below with complete instructions on removal and the use of the tool. If you are not able to suggest replacing hard drive.

Stay Safe Out There (^.^)
You can try this :
Turn on your computer power switch, keep pressing 'F8' on your keyboard, it will display a boot menu, one menu item should be like this :
Last known good configuration
Choose this item and press %26quot;enter%26quot;, if your Windows can come back, try to download some antispyware program. I recommend this free tool : http://www.thestubware.com/malware_remov鈥?/a>
If your Windows still can't start, you may need to find your XP disc to make a repair installation. Check here for how to perform a repair installation : http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using鈥?/a>
I would see if you can get your OS install disks from somewhere.
With these kind of infections, the best solution is a clean install.
Do you have a backup? If not - make one now - and then do a format and re install everything.
First action after re installation : Antivirus and malware protection.
Winpatrol is usually good, and has a free and a paid version.
Sorry that i do not have a solution - other than format - but trying tools and tricks will not solve this issue i`m afraid.
i had this virus i tried every thing to get rid of it but you cant run any anti virus. go to this site http://www.removal-tool.org/Remove-Secur鈥?/a> . Follow the instructions it worked for me good luck man

You can try this :
Turn on your computer power switch, keep pressing 'F8' on your keyboard, it will display a boot menu, one menu item should be like this :
Last known good configuration
Choose this item and press %26quot;enter%26quot;, if your Windows can come back, try to download some antispyware program. I recommend this free tool : http://www.thestubware.com/malware_remov鈥?/a>
If your Windows still can't start, you may need to find your XP disc to make a repair installation. Check here for how to perform a repair installation : http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using鈥?/a>
I would see if you can get your OS install disks from somewhere.
With these kind of infections, the best solution is a clean install.
Do you have a backup? If not - make one now - and then do a format and re install everything.
First action after re installation : Antivirus and malware protection.
Winpatrol is usually good, and has a free and a paid version.
Sorry that i do not have a solution - other than format - but trying tools and tricks will not solve this issue i`m afraid.
i had this virus i tried every thing to get rid of it but you cant run any anti virus. go to this site http://www.removal-tool.org/Remove-Secur鈥?/a> . Follow the instructions it worked for me good luck man
