Safe Mode
Operation Windows® 95 will automatically initiate Safe Mode if it detects that the system start-up has
failed, for example if the Registry is corrupted, or an application has requested Safe Mode.
Sporadically, Windows® 95 will start Safe Mode for no apparent reason. If this is the case,
simply rebooting the system will resolve the problem.
To access Windows® 95 Startup Menu, when you see the message “Starting Windows 95 ,”
press F8.
At times, simply pressing “NORMAL” at the Startup Menu will resolve the problem.
Use Safe Mode for system startup situations such as the following
If Windows® 95 fails to start after the “Starting Windows 95” message appears.
If Windows® 95 seems to stall for an extended period.
Windows® 95 doesn’t work correctly or has an unexpected result.
If you cannot print to a local printer after attempting other troubleshooting steps.
If your video display doesn’t work properly. In the case of the ALICE, connect an
external m onitor.
If your computer stalls repeatedly.
