If Something Goes Wrong

Windows Millennium Edition is not working

205

Logged (Bootlog.txt)

Selecting Logged starts Windows Millennium Edition 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 Millennium Edition 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 start-up files and
starts Windows Millennium Edition, 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
Windows Millennium Edition 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,
Windows Millennium Edition will start correctly.
