Safe Mode helps you diagnose problems. If a symptom does not reappear when you start in Safe
. .
Mode, you can assume that the default settings and minimum device drivers of the operating
. .
. .
system are not causing the problem. If a newly-added device or a modified driver is causing
. .
problems, you can use Safe Mode to remove the device or undo the change.
. .
. .
. .
To start the computer in Safe Mode:
. .
. .
. .
1. Print these instructions before continuing. They will not be available after you shut down the
. .
computer down in step 2.
. .
. .
2. Click Start > Shut Down, then select Restart from the drop-down list.
. .
. .
3. In the Shut Down Windows dialog, click OK.
. .
. .
. .
4. When you see the message Please select the operating system to start, press the F8 key.
. .
. .
5. Use the arrow keys to highlight the appropriate Safe Mode option, and then press the Enter
. .
key.
. .
. .
. . 6. If you have a dual-boot or multiple-boot system, choose the installation that you need to
. .
access using the arrow keys, and then press the Enter key.
. .
. .
In Safe Mode, you have access to only basic files and drivers (mouse, monitor, keyboard, mass
. .
. .
storage, base video, default system services, and no network connections). You can choose the
. .
Safe Mode with Networking option, which loads all of the above files and drivers and the
. .
. .
essential services and drivers to start networking, or you can choose the Safe Mode with
. .
Command Prompt option, which is exactly the same as safe mode except that an MS-DOS
. .
. .
command prompt is started instead of the Windows graphical user interface. You can also choose
. .
Last Known Good Configuration, which starts your computer using the registry information that
. .
. .
was saved at the last shutdown.
