Hi There.
For some unknown reason, my computer has not been working normal recently. The problem is, i cannot use my computer outside of 'safe mode'. I would really like restore my system to normality but i don't know how or what the problem is. Basically, the computer loads, but only a dos style style screen appears with the options of: Safe Mode with networking Safe Mode or 'Start windows normally'. If i opt to go with 'start windows normally' or leave the pc for 30 seconds so it automatically does this, it does not load the windows screen for me to login i.e blue background with Family (password menu). It brings up another dos style screen. Any Help would be appreciated! Thankyou Very Much!

Do you have any antivirus? Try running a scan in safe mode if system restore does not work.
Even if system restore does work I would then suggest following the instructions in This Post to ensure there is no malware. 1. Click Start. 2. Point to All Programs. 3. Point to Accessories. 4. Point to System Tools. 5. Click System Restore. 6. Follow the instructions on the wizard.

Hey.
Thankyou for the reply. However, i have checked the computer for viruses, there were none to be found. Also, i tried using system restore, however, this did not work. I still have the safe mode problem. Maybe is it a physical problem? I have no idea. Thanks. |

Go to Start > Run > type msconfig
There are some settings in there for boot.ini See what they are set to.

Hey.
I followed the instructions. The settings on BOOT.INI are: It has a window with - boot loader timeout = 30 default=multi(0)diskpartition1windows (Operating systems) Milti(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)windows=microso ftxphomeedition/noexecute=optin/fastdetect the one above is selected. nothing else seems to be selected? Hope that helps. Cheers. |

The only difference in mine is
default=multi(0)diskpartition1windows <---Yours default=multi(0)diskpartition(2)windows <---Mine Click the "Check All Boot Paths" button.

Hey.
I checked "Check All Boot Paths". It says that all boot.ini lines seems to be ok? Thanks. |

After doing this did you restart to see if anything had changed?
