If Something Goes Wrong
The Windows
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
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
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 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.
