Computer always starts in safe mode
My computer freezes and when I reboot it always starts in
safe mode, even when I have a choice of safe or normal. Is this fixable or do I have to reformat and reinstall windows 98? |

Computer always starts in safe mode
I think you need to provide full details on what is going on when the
computer freezes. Is one particular program involved, is there a certain action you take that causes it, are there any error messages and, if so, what are they exactly, etc? Once that is cured, we can try to fix the safe mode problem if it still exists. -- Regards Ron Badour, MS MVP for W98 Tips: http://home.satx.rr.com/badour Knowledge Base Info: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?pr=kbinfo "Lisa" wrote in message ...

It freezes up while I am in WordPerfect 11. If forgot to
add that once I reboot, it performs the scandisk, then gives me the option of safe or normal mode. There are no error messages. -----Original Message----- I think you need to provide full details on what is going on when the computer freezes.

I don't use WordPerfect but what I'd do is uninstall the program, reboot and
reinstall it. If no luck, maybe you could try a different newsgroup or contact Corel tech support or visit their web site. -- Regards Ron Badour, MS MVP for W98 Tips: http://home.satx.rr.com/badour Knowledge Base Info: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?pr=kbinfo wrote in message ...
