Safe Mode Boot issue

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsme.general (More info?)

My pc is booting in safe mode all the time I have not changed or added any
new hardware/software. I have tried to restore from last known good config. I
have also tried all on this link :
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;273738#XSLTH3157121123120121120120

It is a 633is e machine. I need to get this back to normal boot mode fast.

I do not want to format and reinstall as I will loose alot. Someone please
help me.

Thanks

This won't be the answer to the problem, but it may suit you. Run
"msconfig." Press the Advanced tab at the lower right and then check
"Enable startup menu." Now when you boot up you will get a menu giving you
the options of going to Normal mode, Safe Mode, etc. Actually, I use this
as I have trouble getting into Safe Mode otherwise and it only takes a sec
to press "Enter" when Normal mode (the default mode) is highlighted. If you
do nothing, the puter will go to Normal mode in 30 seconds.

Rob
I'm confused (not unusual, I know) - you say you're running ME, but ME has
no such thing as a 'Last known good configuration' boot option - this is
only present in Windows 2K and Windows XP!

Which version do you have??

This article refers to Windows 98, but applies to ME also.

As Bill says, try looking in the msdos.sys file for a line "BootSafe=1" - if
it's not there, then that's not your problem and we need to look elsewhere
(try looking in Device Manager while in Safe Mode - are any devices
duplicated? are any flagged with errors??).

If you would prefer to have a shorter time interval before booting into
the default mode such as say 5 seconds rather than 30 add the line
BootMenuDelay=5
to the [Options] section of the file msdos.sys
