There were no ? marks or exclamation points. Only thing I found was a red X
on Network Adapters--Intel (R) PRO/100 VE Network Connection. I think that
has been there a long time and I am not networking.
I don't know how to get to safemode or how to get out! Seems I went there
once and it scared me. Have to use keystrokes? No mouse? If you think it
is really important for me to go there, please give me explicit
instructions. (how to get in and how to get out and what to do while I am in
there!)
