I am running windows xp. and I when I try to start up in safe mode, it crashes again. It shows a blue screen that tells me to try to start in safe mode. And it just keeps doing this over and over again. What can I do to repair widows so I dont loose any files?

Press the restart button then as it is starting up press F4 choose safe mode (only will work if you know what you may have done to cause it and you can get in to uninstall or fix it)
Otherwise I am sorry to say you may have to do a restore
I had the same problem but it was downloading service pack 2 something went wrong.

Run Windows XP installer from the bootable Windows CD, choose install --> upgrade. During the installation process, when asked where to install, choose a partition and "leave file system intact". Then, it reinstalls your Windows without hurting any of the stuff on your hard drive.
During the install process you may also try "Repair", but it never worked for me.

"weird and wonderful colorings" on the exhibit accompanied via a unexpected loss of capability would desire to be an illustration of a hardware problem or a driving force conflict. this may be a deeper problem than in basic terms a corrupted information superhighway Explorer. in the adventure that your device remains sturdy in risk-free Mode, i'd advise booting it into "risk-free Mode with Networking" and take that probability to backup your information. Then, i'd advise a wipe of thechronic and an entire reinstall of the working device. it could take you many much less time than attempting to chase down the project. in case you will nevertheless choose to attempt and are available across the project then my suggestion is to reboot your device into VGA Mode which will enable a classic boot yet place your device right into a default exhibit driving force. in the adventure that your device remains sturdy this form then you definately're very probably coping with a video driving force problem. seek for the latest drivers on your video card, yet contained in the absence of latest ones or in the event that they fail to repair the project, then downgrading to those that initially shipped with your device would additionally be a sturdy theory.

try going into bios,when you start your system and load defaults settings,then try safe mode,to get into bios,it will either be F1,F10,or Delete,I do not know which system you are running,and if you ever need a password to get into bio's remove the battery out of the motherboard for one minute ,it will reset the password

get rid of crashes and blue screens forever... use linux... check out www.ubuntu.com... and automatix... u'll never look back!
you can run ubuntu off the cd before installing it... then you can burn/copy your important files... u'll need a cd rom (from which to run ubuntu) and a writer (to backup your files) if you want to burn to cd... or you could backup to a flash drive...

Take it to the Geek Squad or some other computer place where they will be able to fix it. Otherwise, find a friend who knows about computers and have them fix it.
