You know Mark, I went back and looked at your earlier post and someone told you to start in safe mode, and you didn't know how. Good question. With Windows 95 and 98 if you powered down, next time booted up automatically came up in safe mode. Don't remember with ME, but if did a system restore with ME, after rebooted, came up in safe mode. But, I'm running XP on an IBM T30 Notepad. Hmm? So how may I help my friend Mark? That took some playing and still didn't get it. Tried holding F1 down as booted, sent me into CMOS. That takes a little thinking to navigate out without hurting anything. Then held any key down during bootup, right back into CMOS again because of stuck key. Hmm? One of my other Fkeys gave me a quick popup where safe mode flew past me as soon as I let up off of enter key. Never got it again. Used to be an option during bootup at least prior to XP. A couple of times this laptop didn't want to boot into XP there after playing around. Did you figure it out? I could still play with it, but right now is kind've fun to play with while it's still working (before I trash it). Ha Ha Ha Ha. Maybe we can get Allan to try it (blow his up, but have to word it in such a way he won't know what we're up to, so SHHHHH H!). Hey, Allan, can you try somethin for us....? It won't hurt, ahh, umm, it won't a hurrrt, ...much, probably, well maybe. I swear it, kind've. Mark.
