Problem with safe mode

When I go to safe mode (with F8) and select safe mode here is what it gives me (i translated myself from french so it could be thats its not exactly the same), then it goes to normal mode:
Windows n'a pas demarré correctement. Un nouveau logiciel ou materiel peut etre responsable de ce probleme.
Si votre ordinateur ne repond plus, a redemarre de facon inattendue ou a ete arreté automatiquement
pour proteger vos fichiers ou vos dossiers, choissiser l'option Derniere bonne configuration connue
pour revenir aux dernieres parametres fonctionnant correctement.

Si une tentative de démarrage precedente a ete interrompue en raison d'une défaillance d'alimentation ou car
le bouton d'alimentation ou de reinitialisation a ete activée, ou si vous ne connaissez pas la raison de ce

If your PC is not responding. has not started in a normal way or has been started automatically to

And what happens if you choose safe mode ?

Rightclick on Tea timers icon in the windows clock area on your taskbar and choose exit then restart Tea timer by running TeaTimer.exe
C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy\TeaTimer.exe
 
Problem with safe mode

It shows a black screen and a blinling cursor on the top right and after some 30 seconds it returns back to the same screen. All the three options to go to safemode does the same thing, they return back to the same screen which I translated before.

Other Question not related to safe mode:
When Windows load up it shows me a blue background screen showing and waiting for you to choose between the two possibilities to log (I think) One is called 'Proprietaire' and the other 'UserXp'. Can I configure somewhere to go directly to 'Proprietaire' and skip this part.?Or is this this the problem to safe mode?

Pb with tea time seemed ok.Thanks
 
How long have you had problems with safe mode ?
Try setting windows to log in automaticly
Windows control panel user accounts
change the way users log on, set to use welcome screen
Click on the Owner (Proprietaire) account and set it to not use a password.

Let me know if that helped.
 
Safe Mode

The problem existed since long ago may be two years or more.
At the start when I just bought the pc there were not many applications run and I remember I had access to the safe mode but as I put more and more applications (i dont know if it depends on this however) I was no longer able.

Both Welcome screen and 'rapid change of utiliser' were already chequed.
I never used a password to log in, it had no password set. (We r not many to use the PC).
Thanks
 
Try setting it to not use the welcome screen

Copy the contents of the quote box below into a new notepad document (not wordpad).
Click file> save as...> call it check.bat > file types *all files*> and save it to desktop.
(@echo off
echo Running from %CD%
Echo.

Run check.bat
 
Check.bat & Welcome screen

When I removed the welcome screen and when I press F8 to go to safe mode it does not even go to the screen i translated before but continues to boot normally (I tried several times without sucess, I do not know if the settings/delay when starting is the same or not when you boot in each mode-with/without welcome screen. I did not changed anything.).
So I reverted back to the welcome screen. i made two logs each with the welcome screen and the other without. Here they are:

Log with welcome screen:
Running from C:\Documents and Settings\Propri‚taire\Bureau

Checking HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Select
Current REG_DWORD 0x1
.
Checking CurrentControlSet-Minimal
..
Checking ControlSet001-Minimal
...
Checking ControlSet002-Minimal
....

Log without welcome screen:
Running from C:\Documents and Settings\Propri‚taire\Bureau

Checking HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Select
Current REG_DWORD 0x1
.
Checking CurrentControlSet-Minimal
..
Checking ControlSet001-Minimal
...
Checking ControlSet002-Minimal
....


Hope you will find something repairable, thanks.
 
Hi

Are you familur with msconfig ?
It has an option to restart to safemode (safeboot) BUT dont use that, that would couse the pc to get stuck into a repeating cycle.
There is an option called /bootlog that might help
start run type msconfig press enter > boot ini tab and tick the box next to [X]/bootlog click apply, close and choose restart windows. now press f8 again and try to get into safe mode (you'l have the same problem) so let windows start up in normal mode.

c:\windows\Ntbtlog.txt now either attach or send me this file
Send it to submitlonnyATsubratam.org
Replace AT with @

Dont zip and attach, those are not working.
 
Problem with safe mode

i sent the file to the said address saying, i quote:

Here is the log file to response to 'coolwwwsearch.searchtoolbar cannot be removed'.
Now the PC is giving me a configuration message each time I start even if I unchecked the bootlog option in boot.ini section in msconfig.
Thank You
 
Hi

Theres a box on that configuration message you can check to not show it again.

That log didn't help as i thought it would

Perhaps uninstalling any un-needed or unused program will help

Also go Start > Run > type in cmd
At the command prompt type in chkdsk C: /r or whichever drive you want to check > Enter
Accept the message that chkdsk will run at the next reboot.
Restart your PC
Then run Disk Defragmenter
Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools >Disk Defragmenter
 
Safe Mode- After Defragmentation

I checked the box to not show the mesage again at the start and I noticed that in the msconfig the 'use modified boot.ini file is selected'. I believe this is normal, can you please confirm. Selective start up is selected and all in this part is selected except for 'use original boot.ini file'.
As u suggested I defragmented C which is about 80% empty but I still cannot go to safe mode.
The part of the file not defragmented is not in use any more, if u believe its necessary to delete it to defragment completely, I can redo it again.

Thank You
PS: Do I need to defragment all drive, because I did only for C where windows is installed?
 
yes its normal for [x] use modified boot ini to be checked.

Im asking around about the safe mode problem, that might take some time.
 
In control panel user accounts make a new account with administator privileges, shut down the pc wait a few minutes then start, try f8 (selective startup) and safe mode again , please.
 
Adding another account.

Hi,
I did add another account named 'Check_SM_Jones' as you suggest with admintrator login privileges and I closed and startup again but the problem is the same. It does the same thing as I described before.
I deleted the account afterwards.
Thanks
 
Cannot delete a directory

:confused:
Hello,
I have caught yet one more problem. I should be grateful if you can advise.Its not malware/virus (I believe). I was trying Azureus and copied and paste a directory from Shareaza to the Azereus directory. But now I cannot access neither delete this directory. Its giving me the following messages even after closing Shareaza, rebooting and trying to delete it with Killbox (with delete, delete on reboot and replace on reboot: none works). I tried to uninstall Azereus (from Windows Install/Uninstall)and try to install it again but it gives me an eror message.
The message it gives me when I want to delete the directory is as follows:

Impossible de suprimer le dossier Fanaa 2006-MP3-VBR-320kps[DJLUV]:Access refusé
Verifier que le disque n'est pas plein ou protegé en ecriture, et que le fichier n'est pas utilisé actuellement.

Translation:
Impossible to delete the directory Fanaa 2006-MP3-VBR-320kps[DJLUV]:Access Denied
Verify that the disk is not full or write -protected, and that the file is not actually in use.

I also tried to remove the read only property of the directory but it returns back to partially write-protect again and do not delete.

Can you please help me delete/fix this problem.

Thank You beforehand for your help.
