How This Tip Works
Click Start, and then click Shut down.
Click Restart, click OK, and then press and hold
the CTRL key until the Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition Startup
Menu appears.
For some computers, you can use F8 instead of
CTRL to bring up the Microsoft Windows ME Startup Menu. Do one of
the following:
If you want to load Windows as usual, press the
number key that corresponds to Normal, and then press ENTER.
If you want to create a file listing your
computer's boot and load activity, press the number key that
corresponds to Logged, and then press ENTER. Windows loads as usual
and writes the activity to the C:\Bootlog.txt file.
If you want to load Windows using minimum drivers
and basic options, press the number key that corresponds to Safe
mode, and then press ENTER. Use this option if you have difficulties
with hardware and other issues in Windows. In Safe mode, you can
diagnose and fix errors.
If you want to step through each activity in the
Windows load sequence, allowing or disallowing an activity as you
choose, press the number key that corresponds to Step-by-step
confirmation, and then press ENTER.
