this will generate an operating error in the software. If it is the case, please address an e-
mail request to

help you to identify the missing component.
2.4. Starting with "Safe Mode"
In certain cases, it can be necessary to start Windows in "Safe Mode". To do so, let the
computer start normally and type “MSCONFIG” in the field "Run..." of the Start menu.
Select "Startup Diagnosis" and click on "ok". After a few seconds, you will be asked to
start again, pres "Restart". After the restarting, the system informs you that it is in
diagnosis mode (being equivalent of "Safe Mode"). To return to "normal" mode, still
use order “MSCONFIG” but select "Normal Startup" then start again. As oppose to
standard Windows, the Windows XP Embedded does not work when you hit the F8 key
to start in "Safe Mode".
