Windows 7 Professional PC Issue, anybody help?
OK, it started out as slowing down, ran the usual software, etc, minimal improvement, then all of a sudden after a reboot, BOOM! it opens in safe mode! I'm like, WTF? I can't get it to respond to normal startup. I can't use the repair tool in the safe haven since I do not know the password that it was set up on. Is there a way around that in order to let it fix itself ?
I noticed on one of the reboots it said something about the the last critical update. I did a system restore off of safe mode to the date we got the last critical update and nothing changed. Any help would be a bonus, very short on funds and need to get to my normal screen to reach files and programs. |
Damn, if I post 9 more times after this post, all within the next 40 minutes, I'll have 10 comments within an hour.
Not going to find an answer this way! |
This happened to me a few years back...ended up ordering a factory disc set slid it in and I was good-to-go. Think I spent $30.
|
Well, that helps me none, no money!

I don't suppose you have your original Windows install disk? You need to reinstall Windows most likely. You could try something like Windows Diagnostic and Recovery Toolset to either resolve the bootup issue or reset the password. A Windows 10 install disk or flash drive would have that. Do you have any Windows install media around, or have another computer to download it and burn to DVD?

Ok, on my phone now. I have two types of installation available.
1. Upgrade- To a newer version and keep your files, settings, and programs. Recomends backing up files first. 2. Custom - install a new copy of Windows. This option does not keep your files, settings, etc. The option to make changes to disks and partitions is available when you start your computer using the installation disc. We recommend backing up your own files first. I want to use the first one? Correct? |
Can't run this from safe mode, must be running normally.:cuss:
Plus how can I save files? |
