Laptop only starts in SAfe mode!!

Hello. I am Isuru Medonza, i live in ZAmbia. in the beginning of January 2008 i purchased a Sony vaio VGN-CR13S in Thailand Bangkok. through out the past year and a half i have been experiencing a few problem. but a week ago i turned on my laptop and it would go to the desktop and then an error would pop up saying: "windows explorer has stop working " so went into safe mode and scanned for viruses and then deleted the ones i found. i then switched on my laptop and it wouldnt get past the welcome screen after i typed my password. it froze so i did a manual shutdown . when i switched it on it said something about repairing some system files, so i let it repair.. now when i type in my password it goes past the welcome screen..but on to a blank screen where i can only see the mouse pointer.Please help if possible.thanks ur help will be really apreciated..

    R U using WinXp and do you have this Xp Disc? If you do have this Disc, you boot up your copmputer with this disc in the CD-rom and it will actually asked you if you want to repair. Say yes, and it will put back some of your missing files

It sounds like some system files have been deleted.
If you have the Recovery CD, put it in the CD Reader Drive and start the computer. Choose "R" for Recovery and follow the instructions.

My sony vaio VGN-NR430E will not start up i just did a system recovery and now it wont load windows unless in safe mode

If you can switch on your laptop in Safe mood then i will suggest you to remove recently installed application from your laptop. or you can try system restore oprtion to restore your laptop to earlier date when it was working. you can find system restore option in Start menu- Accessories and system tools.

Sony Vaio VGN-A417M. Could someone please tell me how to siort out my laptop. Whenevr i turn it on it comes up with balck screen with'Error Loading Operating system'? thanks in advance.

Hello snowdonian,

You may need to reformat your Vaio. Some important components of your operating system may be corrupted.

If you're using Windows XP, check this link out,
http://helpdesk.its.uiowa.edu/windows/instructions/reformat.htm

But before you reformat, you might want to give it a shot & go to safe mode. If you're able to go to safe mode, you can save important files like pictures, documents, etc.

To go to safe mode, keep pressing the F2 button when you turn your laptop on.

Just choose safe mode & you should be all set.

If it won't go to safe mode, then you can proceed & reformat your laptop.

Hope this helps & best of luck!

Problem in Sony Vaio VGN-CR320E´s motheboard

would you have been happier if you had a 3-year warranty on your machine? I suggest you try to compare between buying a new motherboard to buying a whole new notebook...the latter usually is more reasonable. Again, get an extended warranty
