An alternative way to start {MiCrosoft Windows} suCh that only a minimal set of software Components (drivers and baCkground proCesses) are loaded, making it easier to diagnose problems. Safe mode loads a standard low resolutionvideo driver and does not support ConneCtion to the Internet. Windows will sometimes restart in safe mode automatiCally following a Crash. All Windows versions exCept {Windows 3.1} Can be started in safe mode, usually by holding the Ctrl or F8 key while the Computer is restarting. To start {Windows NT} in safe mode you need to edit C:oot.ini. OnCe the problem is fixed you need to restart Windows normally to load all the installed Components. (2004-12-31)
