Windows Wont Boot?

OK my mom is having the same problem with her computer as i did with mine months ago. Windows screen starts then a black screen giving options like safe mode, normal and stuff like that , tried all the options . Then it just keeps repeating itself. Tried doing the F8 or F10 i cant remember . at start up to change boot from disk and everything , still no luck. She has a windows CD but it is a upgrade and when installed says there isnt a previous version of windows on the computer.



I have fixed mine but i spent weeks getting it back and im not sure how i did it. I do know i had to redo everything. Even the Backup CDs i made in case of a crash didnt work. If it is a virus not sure how i could have got it, my mom doesnt get on the internet hardly ever.She just plays card games . The only thing i can think of that happening is a niece comes over once in a while and maybe she did it.

We Both Have latset NORTON and everthing updated.Windows Wont Boot?
go into safe mode and run msconfig



in the startup tab disable all

then reboot



the original problem is usually a hang up in a program that has asked you to reboot now? and you said yes. always select later and reboot it yourself.



after you get it stable run msconfig and select all



then do this:

Download and run superantispyware. I was put onto this program because of an annoying popup



http://www.superantispyware.com



afterwards clean up the registry with this

Clean up pc and IE

==============

To clean up run this Microsoft檚 windows live program. It does registry, spyware , virus , disk clean up and defrag



it takes 2 hours or more so once it starts to scan (go to bed etc)

Vista Users http://onecare.live.com/site/en-ca/cente



Run the full scanner, then at the end of the scan it asks you to set it running full time.



Think twice about setting it to run in the background as it could be another thing to slow you down. However, it may be worth while if you have no other security programs running.





I personally run Norton 360 which is full internet security and run superantispyware when I want to.



So if you don檛 have a decent internet security program then perhaps run the superantispyware with your antivirus.



If you sick of antivirus programs that don檛 work perhaps run onecare full time and run superantispyware whenever.





update your norton to norton 360 you need full internet security these daysWindows Wont Boot?
You found your way to the options. Choose this one - ';Last Known Working Configuration';. That should sort out your problem. If not choose 'safe mode' and once in safe mode do the following: Click Start - All Programs - Accessories - System Tools - System Restore. Once in system restore choose a day you know your PC was working correctly. Follow the instructions carefully.

Hope you come right.

Let me know.
