Windows 7 Home premium

Question

I am hoping that someone will have great knowlage of emachines eME440 as I am having issues with it. Everytime I try to put it in safe mode it runs the list for windows drivers and then just goes to the sign in page and I still can't get into my laptop. Does anyone know what the issues might be?

Hi Larry Bartlet,

I understand you're using an eMachines eME440 running Windows 7 Home Premium, and when you try to start in Safe Mode, Windows loads the driver list and then returns to the normal sign-in screen instead of giving you access to troubleshoot the system.

First, please note that Windows 7 reached End of Support on January 14, 2020. While Microsoft no longer provides updates for it, you can still try some workaround steps.

Could you provide a little more information:

• What happens when you try to sign in from the normal sign-in screen? Do you receive an error message, or does Windows load and then fail?
• Are you able to access “Repair Your Computer” from the F8 menu?
• Did the problem begin after a Windows update, software installation, power outage, or hardware change?

In the meantime, if Windows is still able to reach the sign-in screen normally, please try the following:

1. Start the computer and repeatedly press F8 before the Windows logo appears.
2. Select “Last Known Good Configuration (advanced)” and check whether Windows starts successfully.
3. If that does not help, return to the “Advanced Boot Options” menu and select “Repair Your Computer” (if available).
4. From “System Recovery Options”, try “Startup Repair”.
