-=PCTechTalk=- Re: Safe Mode for Laptop?

HB,

The procedure for starting a computer in safe mode is operating system 
dependent; not the type of computer.  For Windows:
1. Click the Start button
2. Click Run
3. Type "msconfig" (without the quote marks)
4. Click OK
5. Click on the Boot.ini tab
6. Check the box beside /Safeboot
7. Click OK
8. Click restart
Note: To return to normal mode, follow steps 1 – 8 above EXCEPT for step 6.  
Instead, for step 6,  you should remove the check. 

After that, upon booting in normal mode, you will see “System Configuration 
Utility” screen.  Placing a check in the box on that screen will keep it from 
appearing each time you boot.
