This section details how to start a computer in Safe Mode
Safe mode is the Windows diagnostics mode. When you start the computer in Safe mode, only the specific components that are needed to run the operating system are loaded. Safe mode does not allow some functions, such as a connection to the Internet. Safe mode also loads a standard video driver at a low resolution. Due to the low resolution, your programs and the Windows desktop may look different than usual and the desktop icons may have moved to different locations on the desktop.
All Windows operating systems except Windows 3.1 and Windows NT can be started in Safe mode.
Some OS versions provide two methods to start in safe mode, the System Configuration Utility and F8 key. Bother methods are detailsed where appropriate.
