Ran Tweaking, now can reboot only in safe mode

(1/3) > >>

davidy:
I am using Windows 7 Professional 64 bit on a Lenovo T410.  I ran the windows repair and now I can reboot only in safe mode.  When I reboot the regular way, I get my wallpaper and some icons but I the hourglass icon comes on  & the reboot never completes.  I'd appreciate your help with this.

Thank You,

DavidY

How long did you leave it to try and finish booting?

Also if you can boot into safe mode then that means Windows is ok but it is one of the startup programs or services that is hanging things up.

So try this, in safe mode go to start and in the search or run box type in

msconfig

And hit enter.

When it comes up click on the services tab, and then put a check on the bottom that says to hide Microsoft services. Now in the list is all the services that are not part of Windows that is loading up, for now uncheck them all (We will put them back later)

Once done click apply and then click on the startup tab. These are all the programs set to run at startup, for now uncheck them all and hit apply.

Now reboot and see if you can get to the desktop and we will go from there :wink:

Thank you for the quick response.  I'll try it now

davidy:
It started right up

Shane:
OK good :cheesy: So windows is fine.

So now we know for sure it is one of the startup programs.

What you can do now is go back to msconfig and try enabling only things you need or want to be running at startup. After you do that, reboot and see how it goes. The fun part is finding out which program or service is doing it :wink:
