Windows wont startup right

**Marley** · 06-14-08, 09:53 PM

My windows wont startup right and i get this screen where it tells me to startup in safemode, safemode with config, last recent settings that worked, or normaly. Normaly and last recent settings freeze when i click on them as an option. If someone can help me with this problem it would be much appreciated.

Try using the CD to fix windows.... thats what I would do first...

Did you make any changes on your last good boot up?

when does it freeze?

try safemode, could be a driver or new hardware issue

could be a virus.

did you recently install anything new? may installed something that conflicts something else already on your system.

i would try a sys restore to before this started happening.

Yes my safemode works I'm gonna try a system restore and i did not install any new hardware and my computer was free of viruses the day it started to not startup corectly. Anyone have any ideas as to how i could fix this problem in safemode?

Reboot the machine with the system disk in there.

Should get an option to repair.

Ok to start this up you have a bad install. reinstall windows by putting in the windows disk and let it boot from the CD. then wait for it to say something about eitehr reparing or continue with erinstall. ive had this same problem before. DO NOT repair it screws it all up and takes valuable disk space. Just reinstall. Make sure that your back folder has ALL your important files in it before you do this. Then when you have completed your reinstall you open your backup files and put them back on your computer and your allset with that problem. If this dosent work continue over and over. I had to on my re-build computer and a few on my coustom. Its a comon thing so dont feel like Bill Gates hates your for some reason.

this would make sense if the problem started happening right away after installing windows. But if it happened out of the blue then a repair would be alot smarter then doing a complete format

lol I was thinking the same thing. And how does "repair" screw up windows? It's there for a reason. But then again I never had to repair.
And if I'm not mistaken, retrying something over and over again because it didn't work the first five times doesn't usually work. Trust me. I've been there and done. I looked like a fool to myself.
