HELP!! MY COMPUTER ONLY OPENS IN SAFE MODE AND I DON'T
KNOW WHY! I USED TO BE ABLE TO CHANGE THE 3 SAFE MODE
OPTION IN MSDOS RIGHT AT STARTUP TO 1 NORMAL MODE, BUT I
DON'T EVEN GET THAT OPTION NOW. THE DISPLAY IS WAY TOO
BIG AND I CAN'T AFFORD ANOTHER TRIP TO THE SHOP TO FIX
IT. WITHOUT CHANGING THE STARTUP SETTINGS I HAVE BEGUN
TROUBLESHOOTING AND REBOOTING, SHUTTING IT OFF AT THE
TOWER, TRICKING IT HOWEVER I CAN AND NOTHING!! ANY
IDEAS? THANK YOU IN ADVANCE! MOLLY IN MICHIGAN

Please use upper and lower case letters when posting--all CAPS are hard on
the eyes.

Windows 98 or Windows 95 Defaults to Safe Mode

The Computer Always Starts in Safe Mode

Hopefully one of these articles will help with safe mode and if so, post
back if you continue to have other problems.
