Windows® 98 Troubleshooting
Safe mode
Selecting Safe mode bypasses basic startup files and starts the
operating system, enabling only the mouse, keyboard, and
standard VGA display drivers.
Running Safe mode allows you to undo any changes you made to
the system configuration that may have caused the Windows
® 98
Second Edition operating system or a device to fail. For example,
if you choose a resolution that is not supported by the display, the
operating system will have a problem starting correctly. Safe mode
bypasses the setting and allows you to change the resolution to one
supported by the display. Once you have done this, the Windows
®
98 Second Edition operating system will start correctly.
TECHNICAL NOTE: The Windows
®
98 Second Edition
operating system automatically starts in Safe mode if it
detects that system startup failed or the Registry (the file that
defines how the Windows
®
98 Second Edition operating
system is set up) is corrupted.
Step-by-step confirmation
When you turn on your computer, the Windows
®
98 Second
Edition operating system processes the startup files. With Step-by-
step confirmation, the system asks you to confirm each line of the
startup process once it appears.
Use this option to:
❖ Startup when the startup process fails while loading files
❖ Verify all drivers are being loaded
❖ Temporarily disable one or more specific driver(s)
❖ Check for errors in the startup files
The Windows
®
98 Second Edition operating system uses a file
called IO.SYS, which contains all the information needed to start
