My safe mode won't come off

having trouble with my pc

Hi,
Start the PC ( in Safe Mode ), hold down the Windows key and press R.  In to the Run Box type msconfig and hit enter.  In the System Configuration window, click the 'Boot' tab - if there is a tick in the box next to 'Safe Boot', click on it to remove this and click Apply to save the change.  Still in the System Configuration window, click the 'General' tab and make sure that the radio button next to 'Normal Start-up' is filled in - if it isn't, click to select it and then click Apply.
Restart the PC and see if Windows now boots normally.
Regards,
DP-K

    Hello, Rwproulx. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.

  • HT1436 My Power Mac G5 will not fully boot without safe mode, it only comes to a blue screen where my cursor duplicates in to 2, (one is frozen, one can move by moving the mouse). What is my problem, and how do I fix it?

    Great clue Lukas...
    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
    Reboot, test again.
    If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
    Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
    Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

  • I plugged IPOD in to sync ( first time in over a year) it auto started with the "Do Not Disconnect", but did not sync.  Now the IPOD is stuck in that mode, won't shut off, won't sync, won't work.  is there a way to reboot it?

    It has already been 6 days from your post, my apology for responding so late, but it is my habit to help only the leftovers, which the other contributors missed.
    Toggle the hold switch make sure there is no red showing.
    To reboot an iPod. (Or RESET in Apple iPod jargon)
    Press Menu and Center button for about 10 secs till the Apple logo comes ON , this would not erase any data from your iPod.
    I would advice you to leave the iPod charging for about 4 hours, if it has been discharged for 1 year or more, and also Apple recommends that you charge the iPod at least once a month, to prevent a discharged battery leakage, which may corrrode the circuitry in the iPod.
    Hopefully you don't get the dreaded RED X on the iPod screen.
    Good Luck!

  • How can I take something  I pasted off my  screen? It won't come off

    I was in my calendar trying to add something to a day and I pasted something and this won't come off my screen. I can not delete this thing. I have restarted the computer,logged out and I can't click on my calendar with this "pasted" thing on my computer screen. What can I do?

    This "thing" only pops up when I open the Calendar. So It is not in my  Desktop..Then I can't do anything with the calendar with this on the the screen. The only thing I can do is "force Quit" the calendar..I am using the calendar on my Airbook until I figure out what to do with the IMac. I was pasting something on a date in my calendar and that's how this got there. Any other ideas?  thank you Dominic for your answer...Randy

  • My computer has streaks on the screen that won't come off

    I just got the new Macbook Pro with Retina Display about a month ago and now on the screen there are streaks all over the screen that won't go away. I have tried using water, glass cleaner, and glasses cleaner wipes but it won't come off. Is this some type of defect or is there some other way to clean it?

    #1 - You have 14 days from the date of purchase to return your computer with no questions asked.
    #2 - You have 90 days of FREE phone tech support.
    #3 - You have the standard one year Apple warranty.
    #4 - If you've purchased an AppleCare Protection Plan, your warranty last for 3 years.   You can obtain AppleCare anytime up to the first year of the purchase of your computer.
    Take FULL advantage of your warranty.  Posting on a message board should be done as a last resort and if you are out of warranty or Apple Care has expired.

  • Weird Coating ... Won't come off 1 day old computer

    Hi All. I bought my macbook pro 17 " yesterday. Spent a fortune on it. I used it for the first time this morning and there is this weird coating on the bottom left side. I thought it was from my hands so I tried to wipe it off and it just smears and looks terrible. This was bought new at the Apple Store. I am upset. Is this normal? I will totally take it back to them because I didn't pay this much for an imperfect computer.

    Doesn't sound normal, my (15") MBP has no such coating/film that won't come off. Take it back and ask for an exchange if you're not satisfied with it.

  • Password won't come off

    I have reset my iPhone and my restriction password still won't come off.

    Correct.
    To remove the Restrictions passcode you will need to either...
    1)  Restore the Device as New...
    See Sections 5 and 6 here...
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
    OR...
    2)  From a Backup created Before the Restrictions Code was set....

  • Circle with man inside icon won't come off front screen.

    content://media/external/file/2585. Don't know if you can see my screenshot but this stupid icon won't go away and I can't figure out how to remove. Touching it brings u p a widget with volume up/down, power, home and pinch.
    Help.

        zupatun,
    Sorry to see you have an image on your screen which will not go away. If the previous suggestion does not allow for identification, try placing the phone in Safe Mode: http://vz.to/1lZdbMN . This disables most 3rd party apps. Does the image go away in Safe Mode? That will indicate it is likely a result an app download. Go to Settings> Application Manager> Downloaded. You can selectively uninstall downloaded apps until the offending app is removed. Best guess is that is a messaging app of some kind as they typically will remain on your screen like that. Hope that helps!

  • My I phone won't come off silent keeps saying I got headphones plugged in

    When you turn your phone on and off silent at the side I tried turning it on and turn the ringer volume up but it said that I had headphones in so it won't ring or play any media it only plays it I put my head phones in I check to see of it was the speakers by changing my ringtone on settings but it worked and played fine it's just that my problem is it won't come on loud and it says I have headphones plugged in?

    Blew down it, short and sharp - being careful not to spit!
    Then I think I twisted a corner of tissue paper tightly and wiggled that in the socket then blew again.

  • My iMac goes into sleep mode, won't come out until I unplug and replug the computer then hit the power button. Just hitting the power button alone won't restart the iMac.

    My Imac goes into sleep mode but won't come out.  The keyboard/mouse won't rouse it and the power button won't do it either.  I have to unplug the computer, re-plug it in and then hit the power button.  Help?

    I looked around the internet and found an old post that seems to have solved the problem.  I had a relatively new USB port (powered) that I unplugged and, ta da, the problem disappeared.  I'm not sure why this happens (I'm not a tech person) but it seems like this should have been worked out in testing somewhere.

  • Firefox hangs on startup in normal mode and safe mode, won't start in reset mode

    using FF 26.0
    using windows 7 home premium v 6.1 (latest)
    My problems started after loading FF 26.0. If I start FF in regular mode it hangs. Same thing happens when I start in safe mode. I can shut FF down (while it is hung) by clicking the X in the top right corner.
    When I start FF in safe mode and choose reset FF, it hangs without FF ever appearing; I have to shut it down using task manager. After shutting down in reset mode, I can start FF in regular mode and everything works fine. However, stopping FF does not shut it down. I have to use task manager to shut it down. Then I am back to square one when trying to start FF, i.e. reset firefox, hangs, task manager shut down, then start FF.
    When FF is running, I can open a new FF window.All my addons are up to date. I have reinstalled FF 26.0, three or four times.
    I have cleared cache and cookies.
    I have scanned for viruses and rootkits etc. with microsoft security essentials and spybot.
    I have been a happy user of FF for more than a decade and have never had a problem like this. Any help will be appreciated.
    Thanks!
