[RESOLVED] Vista Basic only boots to safe mode
Hi Everyone
I have a problem trying to fix a friends laptop.
Basic Spec:
Acer Aspire 5315
1 gig ram
1.8ghz celeron
O/S is Vista Basic
The problem:
will only boot to safe mode
Using F8 to list boot options I have tried:
Last known good config
Start windows normally
These options take me to user login screen, main (admin) user is selected and then loads safe mode.
What I have tried so far:
Created new user... same problem (boots to safe only)
System restore, have selected latest and earliest possible restore points... same problem (boots to safe only)
Start up config, deselected all start up options... same problem (boots to safe only)
services config, hide all MS items, deselected all... same problem (boots to safe only)
What I'm currently trying:
In safe mode (with neworking)
Downloaded latest Superantispyware updates, currently doing a full scan
Downloaded Malwarebytes latest updates and will do a full scan
Update McAfee security and will run scan
So, is there anything else I can do or try?
Many thanks
Phil
