208 If Something Goes Wrong The Windows ® Millennium Edition operating system is not working Normal Selecting Normal starts the operating system under normal conditions. Start the computer in Normal mode when there are no apparent problems with the system. Logged (Bootlog.txt) Selecting Logged starts the operating system under normal conditions and creates a hidden startup log file named C:\Bootlog.txt. This file records every step of the system's startup process. You or a qualified Windows® Millennium Edition operating system expert can use this log file to check the loading and initializing of device drivers. DEFINITION: A device driver is a file that contains information to help the computer's BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) control the operation of devices connected to the system. Safe mode Selecting Safe mode bypasses basic startup files and starts the Windows® Millennium Edition 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 operating system or a device to fail. For example, if you choose a screen 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 screen resolution to one supported by the display. Once you have done this, the operating system will start correctly.
