Safemode:
Safemode is a troubleshooting mode of win 95 that can help fix
configuration issues.
You can force the computer into safe mode if you hit F8 while windows
95 is
loading. (While the screen says in text Starting Windows 95)
[ From Win 95 Resource Kit ]
{Which is contained in a help file called win95rk.hlp on the Win 95
CD}
If Windows 95 fails to start normally, select Safe Mode from the
Startup menu to
begin troubleshooting. Windows 95 automatically initiates Safe Mode if
it
detects that system startup failed (for example, if a WNBOOTNG.STS
signature
file still exists in the Windows directory), or if the Registry is
corrupted
(for example, if an important key such as SYSTEM is missing), or if
an
application requests Safe Mode.
Safe Mode bypasses startup files, including the Registry, CONFIG.SYS,
AUTOEXEC.BAT, and the [Boot] and [386Enh] sections of SYSTEM.INI, and
provides
you with access to the Windows 95 configuration files. You can make
any
necessary configuration changes, and then restart Windows 95
normally.
Use Safe Mode for system startup in situations such as the following:
· If Windows 95 fails to start after the Starting Windows 95 message
appears
· If Windows 95 seems to stall for an extended period
· If Windows 95 doesn't work correctly or has unexpected results
· If you cannot print to a local printer after attempting other
troubleshooting steps
· If your video display doesn't work correctly
· If your computer stalls repeatedly
· If your computer suddenly slows down
· If you need to test an intermittent error condition
When starting Windows 95 in Safe Mode, only the mouse, keyboard, and
standard
VGA device drivers are loaded. This makes Safe Mode useful for
isolating and
resolving error conditions caused by both real-mode and Windows
drivers. This
option is identical to typing win /d:m at the command line, as
described in
Using WIN.COM Switches.
