Any number of things. Can you provide any other hints, or does it just boot to
Safe Mode with no warning. -- Gary S. Terhune MS-MVP Shell/User "DJ" wrote in message ... Could someone tell me what causes a computer to boot up in Safe mode instead of booting into Windows? Thanks DJ |

As Gary states, a lot of things could be the cause. See if any of the causes here
are responsible: Windows 98 or Windows 95 Defaults to Safe Mode http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=143283 The Computer Always Starts in Safe Mode http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=306615 -- Glen Ventura, MS MVP Shell/User, A+ http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm "DJ" wrote in message ...

I am trying to help my sister get her PC up and going again. She is up in SC and I'm just trying to find some info for her to check out with this problem. I had received an answer from another group which suggested the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base The Computer Always Starts in Safe Mode Article ID : 306615 http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=306615 I see now that I have received more info on this same article along with a few more. Will get these sent to my sisters work place and see if it helps out. Thanks for your help. DJ "Gary S. Terhune" wrote in message ... Any number of things.

OK, I understand. It's just that if there are any error messages, etc. before it
continues to boot to Safe Mode, such info can be quite helpful when t-shooting. -- Gary S. Terhune MS-MVP Shell/User "DJ" wrote in message ...
