• Boot to Windows–Select this check box to start Windows when you start
your computer. When you deselect this check box and restart your
computer, it boots up and takes you to the DOS prompt (usually the C:\>
prompt). To start Windows from this prompt, type WIN and press E
• Boot delay in seconds–Select or enter the number of seconds of delay you
want when booting the PC. You can increase the boot delay to have extra
time for pressing the Windows startup hot keys.
• Safe mode warning message–Select this check box if you want Windows
to display a warning message if it starts in Safe mode. If Windows cannot
start normally for some reason, it starts in Safe mode, so you can make
changes to eliminate the problem.
• Enable network in safe mode–Select this check box if you want to start
Windows in Safe mode including network capabilities.
• Enable fail safe mode–tells Windows to boot in Safe mode, even if
everything appears to be OK.
• Always load DoubleSpace drivers–Most likely you should keep this check
box selected. The DoubleSpace driver is the file named Dblspace.bin. It
is used to access drives compressed using DoubleSpace. DoubleSpace is a
disk compression method that creates a compressed drive, which is
actually a compressed volume file, or CVF, (usually named
DBLSPACE.001) that is stored on your hard drive.
• Always load DriveSpace drivers–Most likely you should keep this check
box in its default state. The DriveSpace driver is a file named
Drvspace.bin. It is used to access drives compressed using DriveSpace.
DriveSpace is a Windows 95/98 disk compression method that creates a
compressed drive which is a compressed volume file (usually named
DRVSPACE.001) that is stored on the hard drive.
• Enable non-native drive double buffering–This option is set
automatically by Windows and generally should not be changed. Select
this check box to avoid lock-ups or errors if your PC has an ISA controller
card and a DOS driver, and if you have over 16MB of RAM in your PC. If
your PC does not have an ISA disk controller card or if you use an ISA disk
controller card, but have 16MB or less of RAM, keep this check box
deselected because the double buffering could slow down the performance
of your computer and it provides no benefit below the 16 MB threshold for
ISA cards.
• Enable boot-time hot keys–Select this check box if you want to be able to
use the Windows startup keys (also called shortcut or hot keys). Press these
hot keys after the Windows starting message appears and before the
Windows 95/98 startup screen appears.
