Is THere a Safe Mode in Windows 8
location: 8forums.com - date: February 23, 2013
I have question Does Windows 8 have a Safe Mode and were do I find it. the reason I ask this is because I have tried going into Safe Mode in Windows 8 by hitting the F8 key so I could run my virus scanner to see if there are any virus that it may not be finding under normal mode. But when I reboot my computer and try going into safe mode in Windows 8 nothing happens. IS THERE A SAFE MODE?

Only work in safe mode!
location: 7forums.com - date: July 10, 2011
I have read multiple other posts that are similar to this issue but seem to be a different issue. Here is what I have done thus far. Reinstall windows Disable all startup items before and after the reinstall start in safe mode The only way that I am able to do anything with the computer (Laptop) is to have it in safe mode. Otherwise it is so slow that I can't even click on the start menu. When I press CTRL + ALT + DEL it will wait a moment and then bring up the screen to select shutdown, restart, task manager and some other things or cancel. If i select task manager it will bring it up and I can click on performance and see no unusual memory or CPU usage however; when I look at the CPU indicator light it is almost 100% solid. Another t

I recently attempted to clean my brother's computer after he aquired a virus from the torrent file program he uses. Regardless, I cleaned a trojan and a backdoor from his system from safe mode. I can not boot in normal mode. Everytime i try the system gets hung up at the windows loading screen then the screen turns black and sits there. I have to hard reboot. I ahve used a repar CD and i have come across an error 0x800700b7, i have also recived this when i tried to work around this problem "identifier {9dea862c-5cdd-4e70-acc1-f32b344d4795}" OS= Win 7

Windows 7 has slowed almost to stop even in safe mode
location: winsecrets.com - date: October 20, 2012
I was running Chrome with quite few tabs open (17-25) on an ASUS Laptop. And then everything just stopped responding. I tried restarting the pc and was stuck at the "welcome" part of logging on for 1h+ before shutting it off and starting i safemode. It actually logs in, but when i click start it takes 1-2 minutes for the start window to pop up and when i click on anything in there (in safe mode mind you) it takes 5-10 min before it opens control panel or anything else. I dont know whats wrong. The only other issue i have is sometimes my computer would glitch out while doing something with graphics and the sound would sound like bass from a techno song and everything would go all choppy on my screen for 1-3 seconds but then it wou

Windows 7 Hard drive failure - Only Boots in Safe Mode
location: 7forums.com - date: July 31, 2012
Hello all, After trying to scan my computer with tdskiller (I believe its called) to remove some viruses, I was asked to reboot. When I did, my backround desktop picture turned black, files seemed to be missing from my desktop and a window poped up scanning and telling me how many errors I had. Shortly after I got about 20 error pop up messages. I rebooted my computer and more files were missing to the point all I had was recycle bin, and two other programs. Now the computer runs only in safe mode, No matter what I do (pressing f8 - start in normal mode) nothing works. I cant get internet access, and worst of all, I cant even system restore or even recover it back to to the malfunctioners option due to errors. I am stuck and do not kno

Windows only starts in safe mode
location: 7forums.com - date: January 7, 2012
Hi all, I have an Asus X72J series running windows 7 64-bit. To make it simple, windows doesn't manage to boot normally, but it works if I start it in safe mode. I would like to know if there is any tutorial which proposes step by step processes in order to locate the source of the problem. I have alreay run startup repair 5 times with restarts between each, and it ended up it could not resolve my problem. Besides: - I have not installed any software before having this trouble - I have not installed any new peripheral or driver - I checked the memory and HDD and both are fine - My guess is that there is a driver or hardware compatibility problem somewhere, since the trouble appeared after a long time passed in hibernation (extended s
