What is Safe Mode?
Safe Mode is a special way to start Windows, used mainly to troubleshoot problems
affecting normal operationof Windows. Such problems rangefrom conflictingdrivers
to viruses preventing Windows to start normally. In Safe Mode, Windows loads only
a minimum of operating system components and basic drivers. Only a few
applications work in Safe Mode. This is why most viruses are inactive when using
Windows in Safe Mode and they can be easily removed.
To start Windows in Safe Mode, restart your computer and press the F8 key until
the Windows Advanced Options Menu appears. You can choose between several
options of starting Windows in Safe Mode. You might want to select Safe Mode
with Networking in order to be able to access the Internet.
Note
For more information on Safe Mode, go to the Windows Help and Support Center (in
the Start menu, click Help and Support). You can also find useful information by
searching the Internet.
