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.
