Hp Pavillion windows 8 stuck in safe mode- no display

My girlfriends pavillion notebook has the win 8.1 upgrade on it. It came with win 8. The display is broken and she has been using a monitor connected via the HDMI port. She was having performance issues, freeze up, delayed response type stuff. Bad enough I decided to restart in safe mode to work on it. I did so without thinking about the HDMI port not being enabled in safe mode. It was actually a Safe mode/minimal restart. So now I can not get it out of safe mode because I have no display without the HDMI port. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I have tried a hard boot, where you take out the battery, disconnect everything and hold down the power button. Though highly recommended several times she did not make a start up disc or recovery disc.

Hi
Please refrain from using caps! looks like you are shouting.
You say that your machine is stuck in safe mode. when you boot does it go straight there?

Windows Stuck in Safe Mode - mouse won't work - need my data...

New Mac User, well two months of trying to get it to opperate correctly. 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> \system32\hal.dll file is missing or corrupt - again.
I've gone through a bunch of posts, tried a number of the instructions, and now have a worse issue, my computer is now stuck in safe mode with Windows, by instructions, here, I'd disabled everything for start up in Configuration Utility and checked start up in safe mode there too, so now I can't get it out of it, and since my mouse and keyboard won't opperate in safe mode, I get to the log in page to select user but the mouse just won't move and pressing "CTRL ALTDLT" no response.
In the Recovery Counsole when I rean CHKDSK /r this is what it came back with...
"The volume appears to contain or or more unrecoverable problems."
97638572 kilobytes total disk space.
90877508 kilobytes are available.
406 bytes in each allocation unit.
24409643 total allocation units on disk.
22719377 allocation units available on disk.
So what does that mean? Not sure what the " volume appears to contain one or more unrecoverable problems" means when it's not telling me what they could possibly be. Thoughts anyone?
If anyone knows or has some good advice on how to get windows back up and running correctly, and without wiping out my data - as I can't get it backed up, I would be tremendously grateful...
2 months of this is really enough, dying to use my system, and praying that I can...
Thanks so much,
Kitti

Here's what worked: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/330184
I followed the instructions above and once I finished, After re-booting, I selected Microsoft Windows XP Professional and the System Configuration Utility came up.
On the “General” tab, it shows that the Start Up Selection is on “Selective Startup” with everything checked, but what’s marked “Using Modified BOOT.INI
Tried to change it to “Normal Startup – load all device drivers and services” then re-start.
Windows came back up, but so did the System Configuration Utility and still showing that it was starting up with “Selective Startup”
Now just need to figure out how to start it up in “Normal”, if in fact that’s possible. Will keep you posted and if anyone has any further suggestions, that would be much appreciated.
I do hope this will help all the others that have run into the main issue, which I have found is caused by the Parallels Desktop by they way, not Microsoft, and that start having issues by getting the dreaded " hal.dll " file is missing or corrupt on a direct Boot to Windows.
Very long and sleepless night….

Pavillion N-15 030us stuck in safe mode with no display

The display is broken and I was using a monitor connected thru the HDMI cable. I restarted the notebook in safe mode which I take it does not enable the HDMI port? So now I am stuck in safe mode with no display.

Stucked at Safe mode (windows 8.1)

It's been 5 months that my Hp laptop stucked at safe mode.
5 Months ago i tried to delete Eset Smart security from my laptop, the program said that the best way to do it is by Safe mode, so i reboot my laptop and then it asked for a password, so i enterd my normal password for every account i have, and it said it's
incorrect.
I tried tutorials of hacking into the laptop, tutorials of passwords recovers, not working.
Because it's a safe mode, no network.
I need a solution that will leave my data in my laptop, i have pictures, works, programs, important stuff.
Please help.

Hi,
Which account did you choose when you logon Safe Mode? To uninstall Eset Smart, you can also uninstall it at normal mode.
How about using system build in Administrator account to logon Safe mode? Have you tried yet?

MacBook Pro- Stuck in safe mode!?

Hi, I am a first-time MacBook user and need a little help...
I am running lion software and recently performed a software update (pop-up screen general update). Since doing this, my Mac is now:
- Only allowing me to type in Shift Mode i.e. I cannot type '1' but it types '!', '3' becomes '£', etc etc
- Stuck in safe mode
- Will not recognise any USB's (however i suspect this is because it's stuck in safe mode!)
Any help would be much appreciated??? I cannot use it any more, and it makes me just want to get rid of it! :-(
Thanks in advance....... :-)

Try resetting the SMC - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964 - see the drop-down menu on "Resetting the SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own."
Good luck,

How to enter Windows 8.1 safe mode in syslinux?

My old notebook is running very slowly as Windows 8.1 always reads/writes IDE hard disk, so I disable many windows services. And after relogin, I cannot open almost every program even the Task Manager.
It has to enter the 'safe mode' to repair Windows. In syslinux bootloader, I select 'Windows 8.1' then press Enter and as quickly as I can to press F8. There's no effect that Windows loads into normal mode.
I know that in Linux world everything is a file, so I think I can locate last changed files in Windows when disabled windows services and try to repair it. After a long time searching, in Archlinux I rename '/Win8.1/Windows/System32/config' folder to config.bak ('/Win8.1' is where I mount C:/ partition) and then restart to Windows.
It works! Windows loads into safe mode.
But let Windows to repair itself is a heavy work. I wonder if I can repair just one or a few files in Archlinux to do the easy job. So relogin to Archlinux and recheck the config.bak folder. Yeah! I find a 'RegBack' folder in which the files' modified time is early than that outside with the same file name. So my easy job is to:
$ cd /Win8.1/Windows/System32
$ cp config.bak/RegBack/* config.bak
$ mv config.bak config
Restart to Window, everything is back to good old day!
My lesson is YES EVERYTHING IS A FILE.
My question is beside the rename way, is there any way to enter Windows 8.1 safe mode in syslinux bootloader?

Try to manually interrupt the process while windows loading, it will eventually ask you to.
If don't, try clicking the restart button with shift pressed, if that too would not work; better ask in a microsoft forum.

How to run Lenovo t400 with Windows XP in safe mode

Hi guys,
I caught a Spyware Portection Virus this morning while i was doing research on fish disease. The virus isn't letting me run any programs except Internet Explorer. I have found the program to delete it but I need a way to run it so the best way is to run Windows XP on safe mode. So how do you run windows xp in safe mode. I can't access the Microsoft Configuration program (msconfig). Any ideas of how to work through bios to boot up in sade mode?

Using HP Pavilion 23 all in one model 23-b037c, 2012 windows 8.1.
During testing for internet connectivity was instructed to initiate msconfig and reboot in Safe Mode.
After rebooting the sign in security screen asked for my password. I entered my password that has worked for long time., but system said password incorrect reenter. tried numerous other passwords non accepted. changed MS account PW no good. Worked with HP support several hours for 2 days, trying all advanced trouble shooting solutions they recommended. Ran restore, backup and recovery etc. all failed. After one backup attempt error message said must get out of SAFE Mode.
How do you do this without correct password?
Ran Hard disk test passed OK. Now having to clean and remove all programs and personal files per HP Tech.. Will take several hours per HP sTech. Then will try again to run System recovery to original manufactures settings. Huge mess.
Big problem. Hope this works.

I have read your post on how the Windows 8.1 safe mode password does not work on your desktop computer, and I would be happy to assist you in this matter!
To disable the built-in administrator account for Windows 8.1, I recommend following the steps in this document on How to Enable or Disable Built-in Elevated "Administrator" Account Windows 8 and 8.1. This should help to enter your password when booting into Safe Mode.

Help! I deleted all software from MyRIO and it's stuck in safe mode

Hi,
In the NI MAX interface I saw that there were a new software version to intall, in the section where is possible to add and remove software items to MyRIO from a list with checkboxes. The last option in that list was something like clear everything, remove all software, or other similar text.
I did this, planning to install the new software version after that. Then the MyRIO restarted in safe mode, whith the status led blinking three or four times each 5 seconds. And it never was recognized again by the computer.
I tried the reset button without success. The MyRIO is always stuck in safe mode.
Then I tried communicate using the serial port of my computer configured according with the MyRIO User Guide, connecting the RX, TX and GND of the computer connector in the UART ports of the MXP A connector. But the NI MAX don't see the MyRIO, there is no answer in the serial communication.
How can I install the software again in MyRIO?
Thanks in advanced.
Regards,
Rodrigo.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi,
Today I managed to communicate with MyRIO and now its working again.
The interface RS232<->UART using the IC MAX232 worked, but I could not install the software in MyRIO through this interface.
Probably I uninstalled the NI software related with MyRIO from my Host computer, because when I connected the MyRIO using the USB interface to my other computer it was recognized and I installed the software in it without problems.
Regards,
Rodrigo.
