Sony Vaio Vpcf111fx Safe Mode


How can i get safe mode for my sony? It has sony recovery center which allows me to reset software, hardware or even the whole dam thing which is cool. But i don't have a real safe mode. So if i caught a virus i cant go to a safe mode and and get rid of them without having to reset all my settings. I have a vpcf111fx f series vaio.

No Boot From Safe Mode, Etc.

Computer turns on, screen shows bios screen, then options for safe mode, last known good config, etc. I've tried them all - best i've gotten so far is the winxp load screen, then screen goes to black and system hangs there. Anyone heard of this? I know it's not video card, because i get the initial winxp graphic w/blue bars running left to right and the flag. I'm not sure about the harddrive - in safe mode it shows all the dos stuff running down the screen, but then hangs. My plan is to burn a boot cd (no floppy drive installed in system) and try to troubleshoot from there. Either the startup routine in windows went bad, or it's a bad harddrive, or ?. I'll likely get to working on this over the weekend, but any input is appreciated.

What Causes Pc To Boot In Safe Mode ?

Ok i just switched my pc on this morning and got the post screen for the 1st time ever. For the past couple of times , when i push the power on button, it would flash the led on the front and power back off. Then press it again and it fires right up. And today it boots in safe mode . I went into the bios and re loaded optimized defaults, and it is no longer in safe mode but it hangs a little longer right before going to the xp loading screen. At the bottom of the screen it says verifying dmi pool data, then it goes to xp loading screen. What could have caused it to boot this way in the first place. I have a new motherboard i am about to use anyway, but i just want to be sure i don't have some other problem.

Any Way To Use Serial Port In Safe Mode ?

I have an older ibm (thinkpad 500?) Using windows 2000 that crashes randomly. I only use this computer to run an automatic key machine in my truck that uses the serial com port. The computer runs fine in safe mode, but i can't link it to the key machine because the serial port is disabled in safe mode. Is there any way to enable the serial com port in safe mode?

Windows 98 Only Boots In Safe Mode

Windows 98 only boots in safe mode. When try to boot in regular mode it just sits at the clouds and the bottom progress bar keeps scrolling forever. No changes were made in either hardware or software. Just one day it stopped booting. It's driving me pretty crazy.

Display Working Only In Safe Mode

I have an older pc, intel ca810e board with onboard video. I just wiped the hard drive, and imaged it back with a known good image (win 2k), but now as soon as i enter the password to log on to windows, the video freaks out, like a hundred horizontal lines, i can see multiple mouse pointers all on same horizontal plane, basically i can't see enough to even tell it to shut down. When i boot into safe mode, all is well. I've flashed the bios, tried deleting the display adapter and rebooting, tried deleting the display adapter and reinstalling it from mobo driver cd (and from downloaded driver from web). All signs point to the onboard video being bad, but wanted to check with all of you to see if anyone had any other ideas. ?

Internet Connection In Safe Mode

Do you know anything about internet connection in safe mode? I'm trying to get rid of this malware and virus on my other laptop. I am already in safe mode right now on my other laptop, and it still won't let me connect to the internet, not internet explorer or firefox. I've already unchecked the "proxy" boxes. It still won't let me access the internet.

Continuous Reboot In Xp But Safe Mode Does Fine

I am running an xp pro acer that is doing a continuous reboot. I can boot in safe and it seems to run just fine. I have done the following:

I first eliminated any virus or malware possibilities. I reseated as well as eliminated each mem stick . Same result
Sometime, it takes about 5 tries to boot in safe because it stops loading after the mup load
I researched this and it points to devices or drivers or memory
I ran memtest for 2 hours with no errors
I went to msconfig and unchecked all startup listings
Still same result. If the power supply was bad, wouldn't it lock up after running 2 hrs in safe?

Computer Restarts, But Is Fine In Safe Mode

Normally can figure things like this out. This is on my parents computer, running an amd venice 3200+ (no overclock). When booting normally, the computer will restart (or just stop booting) itself at random times, including at the login screen. When i boot into safe mode. It's fine. Tried a system restore to no avail. Does anyone have any suggestions? I was thinking hardware failing, but then why would it be fine in safe mode?

How Do I Get Rid Of Drivers And Catalyst Control Center In Safe Mode ?

I am running a 5970 in eyefinity with three dell 2007fps with a dual boot of vista64 on one hard drive and windows 7 on another hard drive. I installed the 10. 3 preview drivers on my windows 7 partition and it completely borked my computer. Everytime it boots in w7 all three of my monitors go black and i can hear the sounds of windows starting, opening etc, but i have no visual. I am typing this with my vista boot, so what is the best way to remove the new drivers for my w7 partition because i cannot see anything on the black screens and cannot do it the traditional add/remove programs way? I can boot in safemode but it wont allow me to run the install/uninstall feature of the 10. 3s in safe mode.

Usb Keyboard Not Work In Boot Menu For Safe Mode

My usb keyboards works fine in bios, but i can't do anything at all when i want to boot into safe mode? For example, i've been having hardware issues, different story, and what happened is i rebooted while windows was loading. Then next boot, it gives me window which says "i'm sorry but windows did not start properly last time. " Or something like that. And to make it short, it gives you option to boot into safe mode, start normally, start with last known working configuration. And has a countdown timer. But i can't move the highlight selection thingy at all! I just helplessly wait for the counter to count down 30 secs and boot normally. I'm sooo *** off about this; this is so f*ing retarded. Why does it do that? Shouldn't windows or bios (not sure which) be smarter than that?

Oh yeah, i have winxp pro, btw.

Toshiba Or Sony Vaio ?

I'm choosing between the sony vaio y series with an intel core i5-430um (1. 20ghz) processor, 320gb hd at 5400 rpms, and 4gb of ram and a toshiba satellite m640-bt2n22 with similar specs. The prices are pretty much the same, but the sony is nicer aesthetically. The sony also lacks an optical drive, but i'm willing to deal with an external if i get it. Which computer would last me longer and work better?
