Basic ISA Plug & Play theory (Don't bother if you don't like details) See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge Safe Mode is a debugging mode which allows you to fix problems without loading the offending drivers. You should not have to run Safe Mode for any other purpose, in fact you can't run any big applications, except Device Manager, while in there. ScanDisk works in Safe Mode, but it takes much longer to perform disk checks. To start your computer in Safe Mode, hit F8 on "Starting Windows 95...", then select Safe Mode from the choices. This option automatically comes up if you interrupt Win95's boot up process, or it freezes up or otherwise fails to start. Also, while in Safe Mode, Device Manager cannot tell you about resource conflicts, because the drivers didn't load. You might also notice drivers for hardware you don't have; they will appear if there were remnant Registry entries for them. These driver-remnants are good candidates for removal!
