How to restore Safe Mode Mode in WindowsXP SP3 in Lenovo ThinkPad R61

Hi!
Normal loading is functional. But if you select Safe Mode the computer hangs. Perhaps this is the result of a computer virus. How can I fix it? You can use components ThinkVantage?

when you press f8, if there's an option "known good last configuration" select that and try again.
one key theater ( for ideapad and 3000 serie ) has an option including virus scan.
if you start your computer with one key recover, you can select anvirus before windows loads.
if there's an option like that, i suggest you to perform this.
i believe performing clean windows installation will solve your issue but let's try some other options before it.

Satellite T135 How to enter Safe Mode and HDD Recovery if "F8" doesn't work

Hello everybody
I have a Toshiba Satellite T135 Laptop and it has recently crashed. Since then, every time I switch it on, Startup Repair automatically gets enabled. But it fails repairing the error.
I tried to resolve the problem with System Restore, but that didn't work either. So I think I have to go through the HDD recovery procedure.
The problem is, that I have a lot of data on my laptop that I need to safe first. I wanted to do this via Safe Mode which I supposedly should be able to enter by pressing "F8" while initializing, when the Windows logo appears. But my laptop doesn't react when I press F8, but rather begins to make a alerting sound, if I press the button for a longer time.
Apart from how to enter safe mode when pressing F8 while initializing doesn't work, I do have a second question: Is Toshiba Recovery Wizard the equivalent for HDD Recovery Procedure? That's the only similar option I've been able to find...
Thank you very much for your advice.

Hi buddy,
Yes, the Toshiba HDD recovery option will wipe the *first* partition of HDD. Thats the partition where Windows is installed so all files on this partition will be deleted to restore the original out of box settings. If you have stored the data on this partition they will be deleted but all data on second partition will not be deleted.
You can perform a backup if you buy an external HDD case as MisterX suggested. Put the notebook HDD into this case and connect it to another computer. Then you can back up all files that you need. :)

How to disable safe mode on xperia z1,power and volume button doesn't work

Hi rafharum,
Welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
A simple restart to the device would generally resolve this issue, however if the power key and Volume key are not working they may very well be causing the handset to execute safemode when ever you power the device on.
If this is the case, you will need to get the handset to a service agent for assessment. Please use the link below to contact Sony Mobile Customer Care directly.

How to restore XP Mode from backup VHD file?

Hi,
Please can you give us some steps on how to restore from these backups?
I have Windows 7 Professional, 64-Bit .
I have XP Mode looking nice now, with my legacy game installed and running nicely
I have created a folder called C:\XP Mode Backups Apr 7 2014
In this folder are 59 folders and files copied from the backup directories
%USERPROFILE%/AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Virtual PC
%USERPROFILE%/AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Virtual PC\Virtual Machines
%USERPROFILE%/Virtual Machines
So, in the event that I have to re-install XP Mode, how can I restore it as is will all the applications, and especially ALL the Windows Updates for XP Mode that I cannot connect to the internet ever again after 8th April 2014.
You see my concern, after XP D-Day, I am only supposed to run XP Mode after I have disconnected from the internet.
So, I don't want to have to spend 2 hours on the internet downloading all the updates that were released prior to XP Apocalypse day.
Is it possible for some instructions on how to restore from the above files?
I am guessing that I can just re-install XP Mode from the download (which I am also keeping in that folder, then copy the files from the above backup directory into the correct locations on my Windows 7 C:\ drive.
Alternatively, is it just a case of going to the %USERPROFILE%/Virtual Machines directory, click Create Virtual Machine and after choosing location, and clicking Next, select Use an existing virtual hard
disk and choose the VHD for Windows XP Mode in my restore folder? I guess in this case there is no need to reinstall XP Mode from the download executable from Microsoft?
Which one is correct?
Thanks for any help
Philip

You are actually in the wrong forum for your problem. You need to go to the Windows Virtual PC and XP Mode forum @
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/home?forum=w7itprovirt to have your question addressed appropriately.
But, the best solution is to made a copy of the .VHD file for your XP Mode. You would need a functioning XP Mode system to restore any backups from your current XP Mode system. It acts and functions exactly as it would if you had the system installed
on hardware instead of in a Virtual Machine.

Pushing F8 on startup many times, but no response. No "manual" in the box either.

Want to run some virus tests in safe mode, since this 1 week old dekstop is already very slow.
IE8 and Windows 7, 32 bit ("dont respond" and hang 30-60+ seconds). Speedtests around the globe show ok, so might be virus.

How to start safe mode while showing? Sign

My MacBook pro show

Hold down the Alt/Option key at Startup. This draws a gray screen, then takes a minute or more to add an icon for each potentially-bootable Volume, including Recovery volumes.
If a Recovery Volume appears, select it and proceed. Choose Disk Utility. Select your regular startup Volume, such as Macintosh HD and (Repair Disk) [This is possible because you are not booted from the Volume you are Repairing.] This should run for about five minutes and repair all problems, otherwise run it again until it comes clean or gets completely stuck.
Be sure to Set Startup Disk before you restart.

How do I enter Safe Mode on my Satellite U300?

Does anyone know how to enter safe mode on my u300. tried the usual F8 without success
Any Ideas?
Have got "The User Profile Service failed the logon." and was going to try system restore to resolve it.
Any help would be appreciatted.

Hi
You can enter the advanced boot menu only using the F8 button.
Did you try to press it several times in row?
You should press it immediately after the notebook has been powered up!
Sorry but other way is not known to me
You could try to boot using an Windows Vista disk.. this could help to repair the OS.
In worst case you have to reinstall the OS... :(

How do I get out of safe mode in windows 8.1

I entered Safe Mode in my Envy TS 15 running windows 8.1 to fix some issues with my Norton software and now I can't figure out how to exit back to normal mode. Internet is shut off in safe mode (even though I selected safe mode with networking) so I can run any of the Help & Support resolutions. Anyone know how to do this?
This question was solved.

Nanna,
Welcome to the HP Forum.
Try / Consider
Control Panel > icon view > Administrative Tools> System Configuration >
Boot Tab > UNCHECKSafe Boot
Restart/ Reboot the computer and log in
OR
Another path to the same place:
·         Start the notebook and let it start up in Safe Mode
·         Log in
·         Windows key + R(Opens the Run Window)
·         Type msconfig
·         Opens the System Configuration Menu > Click Boottab
·         REMOVE the tick next to Safe Boot > Applyto save
·         Restart/ Reboot the computer
==========================================================================
In addition, you might make sure your security router is set to
Encryption type AES
and
Security type WPA2-Personal
==========================================================================
For later, this is real useful to have and it is easy to set up. I have done this.
Safe Mode can easily be added to the boot screen!

Cannot get into Safe Mode

Fairly new Toshiba Satellite p875-s7102 (purchased in Feb but rarely used). Laptop has not been working for a week, been trying everything. Now I cannot even get into Safe Mode. Almost every link I read shows how once you get to the Windows Start page but I can't even get to that. I have beat the hell out of F8 button to no luck. I have had every issue trying to fix this lap- error messages, blue screen, Disk at 100% usage, Check disc at start stopping at 40% scan, you name it it's happened. Any suggestions other than throwing this thing against the wall???

Satellite P875-S7102
I tried to follow the directions here http://support.toshiba.com/support/viewContentDetail?contentId=2737864 to restore to factory settings. I press 0 (zero).....
In Windows 8 things are different. This part was intended to help (but doesn't help much).
For laptops equipped with Windows 8, "Reset" returns your computer to its out-of-box, factory default conditions (removes your personal files and apps as well reset all settings to defaults) similar to a “System Recovery.” Refer to the How To: Understanding System Restore, Refresh, Reset, and, Recovery options in Windows 8 + Video knowledge base article for complete information.
In case Windows does not boot, you should be able to enter the recovery environment, which in Windows 8.x looks like the picture below.
From Troubleshoot you can go to System Restore, Safe Mode, Startup repair ("Automatic Repair"), a command prompt, the BIOS/UEFI, or even restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents from the recovery partition..
According to Microsoft, trying and failing to boot several times will eventually take you to the recovery environment instead. According to Toshiba, you can also get there by pressing F2 or the zero key on powering up.
If you have completely shut down, Toshiba says you can get there using F12 to reach the UEFI boot menu and then selecting HDD Recovery. One might expect that to take you to Toshiba's recovery back to factory-new, but it actually leads to the recovery environment above.
Please try these out many, many times and let us know what happens.
Do you have important files to rescue?
Have you upgraded to Windows 8.1?

Thank You .This is what I was afraid.
I work at school and We have one problematic classroom. It's http traffic is blocked by a FSecure's firewall, but students have figured out a way. They boot computers to safe mode with networking and after that
they have access to the Internet! Now We have to change Microsofts's own firewall.

Updated. See 3 new Qs at bottom...After XP system restore back to earlier FF version, FF won't open, it's in safe mode. How can it be opened out of safe mode? Can precious, previous History be retreived?

THIS IS A RE-POST OF THE QUESTIONS previously posted, PREVIOUSLY POSTED, now adding a request that 3 new summary questions--at the bottom--be answered.
NOTE: I specifically need answers to the 3 new, summary Qs now posted at the bottom of the Sequence of Events:
Sequence of events:
1) I was using Version 3.6.22 and I needed to
upgrade to Version 6.0.
2) Before beginning, I set a restore point in Windows XP so that in case I did not like 6.0, I could go back to the restore point which contained
3.6.22 and I would stick with that version.
3) I did not uninstall 3.6.22 but loaded 6.0 on top of it, so to speak, thinking that would save my history and other features such as bookmarks. Opening 6.0 I was horrified to see it did not contain my history files!...so I had to go back to 3.6.22.
4) After returning back to the restore point that contained 3.6.22, on the desktop, clicking on the Firefox icon, it won't open.
5) I went to desktop, in lower left clicked Start, then clicked Programs, and yes Firefox is there as an installed program, however the tag reads Mozilla Firefox (safe mode)...so it's in safe mode and won't
open. What now?---~~~~~(end of original post).
HERE ARE THE EXACT 3 Qs I need answered:
1) Can I retreive and save MY PRECIOUS HISTORY from somewhere? Can I force new 6.0 to find and retreive it from 3.6.22) And how would I do that? That's the reason I'm trying to go back to 3.6.22, because it likely still contains my history which does not appear in new install of 6.0?
2) As it stands, go back to previous state now has Firefox 3.6.22 in safe mode. It won't open after XP went back to previous state containing 3.6.22. File tree says Firefox is installed but is now in safe mode. So Q2 is: Can I open Firefox out of safe mode and if so how?--I'd be done because it likely still contains my history.
And if not, can I get retreive my history from it somehow? Or somehow get 6.0 to rediscover it hidden somewhere (Show All History in new 6.0 install was empty).
3) Do I have to give up on retreiving my history even though it's got to be somewhere in my computer? I did not uninstall anything.
If my history cannot be retreived, then I have no choice but to proceed in life with 6.0 without my precious History, a huge store of info and loss of data for me, big time!
FIREFOX HELP NEEDS TO TELL PEOPLE HOW TO SAVE THEIR HISTORY WHEN THEY UPGRADE TO NEW VERSION and whether or not to uninstall previous FF version first. Please pass this urgent advice on to Firefox techs. I can't even figure out how to email THEM!!!!
Thank you all out there in cyberspace whereever you may be!
(P.S. Cor el, thanks for your reply...how do I reach you by email link does not work....)

What in particular didn't you like about Firefox 6?
You can undo a lot of changes, either via changing settings or prefs on the about:config page or via extensions.

*Firefox 6.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version.
* Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data in the profile folder.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

My new version of Firefox crashes as soon as it opens, even in safe mode, at the 'restore session' page. How can I get that session back?

I updated to the newest version of Firefox and restarted the internet. When it reopened the browser, it had the 'about session restore' tab open, but when I clicked on it, it crashed. I've restarted the computer three times to no avail.
The browser opens, then says 'Not Responding' before you can click on anything, then crashes.
The Mozilla Crash Reporter appears, and I click to restart (or quit - same results) then it suggests to open in safe mode, which I do, but the same thing happens repeatedly and I get nowhere.
It wasn't even generating a crash report but finally one went through to my email: bp-0a80049a-6643-452d-b3b2-d8c622130823.
I want to restore my previous version, as I had tabs open that I need to go back to.
Could you please advise me how to proceed?
Thank you.

I don't have a good sense of what is going wrong.
Was Firefox stable in step 3 -- open with no sessionstore.js file and then exit?
If that was stable, it might be easiest to cull the open URLs from your sessionstore.js file and re-open the most important ones manually. You will lose the ''detail'' of your session on those pages (e.g., data you had entered into a form), but if that's okay, it might be the next step.
I found a script on mozillaZine that will extract URLs from the sessionstore.js file; I just changed the formatting of the output. To run the script:
(1) Return to your profile folder and rename sessionstore.js to sessionstore.old again, then copy it to a convenient location
(2) Start Firefox (it should be in a new session)
(3) Open the following link, select all (Ctrl+a), copy (Ctrl+c) to copy the script to the clipboard: http://dev.jeffersonscher.com/sessionstore_reader.txt
(4) Open the <s>Error Console</s> Browser Console (Ctrl+Shift+j), click next to <s>Code</s> the caret (>>) and paste, then press Enter <s>or click Evaluate</s>
(5) A file selection window should appear. Navigate to the convenient location and open sessionstore.old from there.
(6) As long as the file is not corrupted, a new tab should open with a list of all the URLs the script found in the file. You can save this page for future reference if desired. Also, you can close the <s>Error</s> Browser Console now.

New tab page was fine for MONTHS, had an image I uploaded. Today, I got a 'safe' mode whatever, and my image is gone. How do I restore it, so my image comes up?

I had set up my new tab page with an image I uploaded. It worked fine for months, if not years.
Today, I got a 'crash' that asked me to start Firefox in 'safe' mode or 'restore'. I chose 'restore'.
Thereupon, my image was gone from my new tab page. I cannot find how to restore it, and add ons that supposedly allow me to add my own image are not helpful. At least, I cannot figure them out.
Can you provide help on a computer for dummies level?

Sounds that you have reset Firefox and created a new profile.
You can try to create a new profile or reset Firefox.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Managing+profiles
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/reset-firefox-easily-fix-most-problems
When you reset Firefox then a new profile is created and some personal data (bookmarks, history, cookies, passwords, form data) is automatically imported and the current profile folder will be moved to the desktop to an "Old Firefox Data" folder. 
Installed extensions and other customizations (toolbars, prefs) that you have made are lost and need to be redone.
It is possible to recover more data from the old profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over the problem.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Recovering+important+data+from+an+old+profile
You can try to restore the prefs.js file and copy this file from the "Old Firefox Data" folder on the desktop shortcut to the current Firefox program folder.
You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:
