315396 HOW TO: Troubleshoot Startup Problems in Windows 2000

How to Start the Computer in Safe Mode
---------------------------------------
When you start the computer in safe mode, only essential drivers and
computer services are loaded. You can use safe mode when you need to
identify and resolve problems that are caused by either faulty drivers,
programs, or services that start automatically.
If the computer starts in safe mode but it does not start in normal mode,
the computer may have a conflict with either the hardware settings or the
resources. There may be incompatibilities with either programs, services,
or drivers, or there may be registry damage. In safe mode, you can
disable or remove a program, service, or device driver that may be
preventing the computer from starting normally.
To troubleshoot startup problems in safe mode, follow these steps:
1. Restart the computer.
2. Press F8 when you receive the following message:
Please select the operating system to start
3. In "Windows Advanced Option Menu", use the arrow keys to select Safe
Mode, and then press ENTER.
4. If you are running other operating systems on the computer, click
Microsoft Windows 2000 on the list that is displayed, and then press
ENTER.
5. Do one of the following steps:
- If the computer does not start in safe mode, check for possible hardware
problems such as defective devices, installation problems, cabling
problems, or connector problems. Remove any newly added hardware, and then
restart the computer to see if the problem is resolved.
- If the computer starts in safe mode, proceed to the next section to
continue to troubleshoot the startup issue.
