Scenario: Problems in removing drivers of your hardware or uninstalling applications or program from your Windows Operating System?
Not anymore, use can use the “Safe Mode” features of Windows to solve that problem.
- When you see the message Starting Windows or Memory Test, just keep on pressing F8 until a certain Menu appears.
- Use the arrow keys to highlight the appropriate safe mode option, and then press ENTER.
- If you have a dual-boot or multiple-boot system, choose the installation that you need to access using the arrow keys, and then press ENTER.
Notes
- In safe mode, you have access to only basic files and drivers (mouse, monitor, keyboard, mass storage, base video, default system services, and no network connections). You can choose the Safe Mode with Networking option, which loads all of the above files and drivers and the essential services and drivers to start networking, or you can choose the Safe Mode with Command Prompt option, which is exactly the same as safe mode except that a command prompt is started instead of the graphical user interface. You can also choose Last Known Good Configuration, which starts your computer using the registry information that was saved at the last shutdown.
- Safe mode helps you diagnose problems. If a symptom does not reappear when you start in safe mode, you can eliminate the default settings and minimum device drivers as possible causes. If a newly added device or a changed driver is causing problems, you can use safe mode to remove the device or reverse the change.
- There are circumstances where safe mode will not be able to help you, such as when Windows system files that are required to start the system are corrupted or damaged. In this case, the Recovery Console may help you.
- NUM LOCK must be off before the arrow keys on the numeric keypad will function.
