computer stuck in safe mode
Help! I tried to download a free mahjong trial game
and it told me to restart my computer. when I did the screen prompted me to restart in safe mode which I did,now I can't get it out of safe mode. I went through the instructions in the help menu(it tells me to restart my computer while holding down either the cntl. or f8 key). I tried this several times to no avail.All my icons are now huge and my desktop looks like a little kids computer. Can anyone help? Thanks! |

... Hi, Take a look at these MS articles for help: The Computer Always Starts in Safe Mode http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=306615 Windows 98 or Windows 95 Defaults to Safe Mode http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=143283 HTH, I had a friend with that problem a few months ago. I tried some of the hints in the above articles, but they didn't help. Then I noticed that the system clock was wrong by several days. I set it to the right time and the machine rebooted correctly! It seems they had some accounting software that messed around like this with the clock and caused safe-mode booting. Now they know how to cure that problem when it occurs again. -- Oliver Walter (UK) email: news (the AT sign) owalter (DOT) zz.uk and replace "zz" by "co". |
