Windows Forum / Windows 98 / General Topics / December 2005Safe Mode taken over!
Could someone please help as the last few times I have started up, it starts up in Safe Mode. I did come across a resolution about this within MS but it says to find a line within a file that I don't have ie, BootSafe=1. It said this was in Wordpad but I have Notepad. Thanks heaps 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  SignatureRegards Ron Badour, MS MVP for W98 Tips: http://home.satx.rr.com/badour Knowledge Base Info: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?pr=kbinfo > Could someone please help as the last few times I have started up, it > starts [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Thanks heaps Sorry but I checked these articles out and they don't apply to my problem. The first one 'the computer always starts in safe mode' is what I was talking about how I couldn't find the line 'BootSafe=1' in the msdos.sys file probably it said to use Wordpad but I have Notepad. So i presume I need instructions if I use Notepad. Can anyone help still?

If you were able to open the Msdos.sys file in Notepad (a much better choice if you are going to do any editing), and you did not fine the line, then it probably isn't there and this is not the cause of your problem. Bootsafe=1 in the Msdos.sys file is only one possible cause of booting into Safe mode. If you checked out the other article that Ron mentioned and it didn't apply, then take a look at this one: Troubleshooting Windows 98 Startup Problems http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=188867 PattyL > Sorry but I checked these articles out and they don't apply to my problem. > The first one 'the computer always starts in safe mode' is what I was [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] >> > >> > Thanks heaps |
