I need help with my pc, someone did something with it now it is on test mode, so in every corner of the screen it writes test mode, and in the top it writes Microsoft(R) Windows(R) (Build 6001: service pack 1)
please help me how to get out of this test mode, because its limiting a lot of things.

THANK YOU!!

Welcome to D-A-L,

Sorry your post has been missed.

Have you restarted your machine? I think you are referring to 'Safe Mode'. Shut your computer down, wait for a minute then start it in the normal way by pressing the power button, do nothing else, just wait until it boots up completely before you do another thing.

Others may come by to assist if my suggestions above do not work for you.

kind regards,

well its not safe mode, but test mode, i dont know what it is, and i cant get out of it, i restarted the pc. i shut it down like you said, i tried almost everything. Some said to me your vista is not fully instaled, but i reinstalled it, but it was useless. i dont know how to get out of it.
if it has to do something with the boot menu or smth like that than please tell me.
Thanks for your reply !!

From here

[windows key] > type cmd | press CTRL+SHIFT + ENTER (to enter an elevated command prompt)
> type bcdedit.exe /set testsigning off then press ENTER > Restart your machine. Voila, gone

Ok the CTRL+SHIFT + ENTER didn't work for me so from the start menu your are going to have to browse to command prompt (all programs, accessories), right click on it and select run as administrator. After that type in the given command. Let us know if this works for you.

oohhh,, thaaaanksss. U rock dude, you are the only one one who actually could get me out of this test mode... YOU ARE BRULLIANT!!!! RESPECT

and uhh, guess what i have 2 more problems and i think theyre my last ones, so it would be very kind if you could help me with these ones!
So its hard to explain but ill try.
following happens:

prob nr 1. i right click than go to personalize, the screen appears just for 1 milisecond and goes away, so i tried this a lot of times and it kept on doing the same thing, than this also happans at my windows anytime upgrade, at windows update, and some other important things why?? and how to get rid of it??

prob. nr. 2 and when i try to uninstall some things i cant because it says authorization required... maybe its connected to that 1st problem , but however, i just need to get to know how to get rid of that first problem of mine... you seem very professional so i think you guys can explayn why.


Thanks Alot!! you guys rule

I think that you might have more serious problems with your computer than the test mode. That might just be an indication that something else is going on. Right now all I know to suggest is to run the command prompt as administrator like before and type in sfc /scannow. I also suggest that you post in our malware section. Read this & post another thread here.

i got there i scanned it with cmd, than it said>
Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix som of them.
Details are included in the CBS.Log windir\Logs\CBS\CBS.log
howver than i tried to open that CBS.log but ehen i opened it and it sais acces denied.
I have a Norton 360 version3.0 antivirus. and it cant find any viruses. Can you help me!! thanks
so i need help wiht my first problem i mentioned before
>>>THANKS<<<

Only the D-A-L head security can help with malware so thats why I referred you to there; we don't handle those problems here. If I where you I would post a thread there to make sure that your computer is clean. I can't say for sure but I believe that viruses can corrupt system files and it seems that you have some kind of corruption. Whether or not it is related to viruses is something that you'll have to work with the malware team on determining.

As for the log file, Vista doesn't trust you with your own computer but there is usually a way to access files that are by default locked. To do so you will have to take ownership of the file or even the folder that it is in. Try the file first. Follow option 2 from step 4 on. Also how to analyze the CBS.log file.

Interestingly enough I was able to reverse the command and enable testing mode on a Vista virtual machine. The only difference I could tell was the test mode indicators. I don't really know why it was enabled for you though. It could have been a result of the system corruption. If you can I would go ahead and back up your files to prepare for the worst should it happen.
