Starting Windows XP in safe mode

• Restart in safe mode, why and how?
• Starting in safe mode with Windows XP
• Method with the configuration utility system:
• Without Failure Mode with support network

Restart in safe mode, why and how?

The Safe Mode is a diagnostic mode of Windows. When you start your computer in safe mode only specific components necessary to perform the operating system are loaded.
The safe mode does not allow certain functions, like connecting to the Internet for example.
It also charge a basic video driver with a low resolution, which explains the different aspect of your programs and the Windows desktop.
The desktop icons may also have changed their position because of the low resolution.
There are several reasons that can lead us to restart in safe mode, here I mention that to us.
For many files and files in particular malware, it is impossible to remove them because they are running. If we make the test, for the most part, we get an error message telling us that the file is currently being used by someone or an application.
Starting in safe mode, only the necessary files are loaded, deleting files is now possible because of their inactivity.


Starting in safe mode with Windows XP

Use this method (with the F8 key) unless Windows XP is the only operating system installed on your computer.
1 / Restart the computer. The computer starts processing instructions known as the Basic Input / Output System (BIOS). The display depends on the manufacturer of the BIOS. Some computers display a progress bar referring to BIOS, others may not indicate the process underway.
2 / At the end loading BIOS, start pressing the F8 key on your keyboard (or F5 whether F8 does not). Do this until the menu of options advanced Windows appears. If you start pressing the F8 key too soon, it is possible that some computers display the message "keyboard error". To solve this problem, restart the computer and try again.
3 / Using the arrows on your keyboard, select "Safe Mode" on the menu, then press Enter.


Method with the configuration utility system:

Enabling care network in the failure mode, can solve problems networks (difficulties in establishing a shared, for example).
You can use the first method described in this article, with F8, but also the second via the system configuration utility. In the second case, just check in addition to "SAFEBOOT" box "Network" just below.
