It was a very long time I didn't need to boot in safe mode in xp x64,
today I discovered I get a BSOD and found no way to fix the problem.

Do you know what can one do to fix safe mode, possibily having care
not to touch the normal booting configuration please?
 
Re: can't boot in safe mode

Are you getting the same BSOD in normal mode? Have you made any recent
changes, like driver updates or Windows updates? What are the error messages
and codes. If you get the same BSOD in normal mode, run using the do not
automatically restart mode so you can more easily get your error messages.
If nothing else works, you may have to do a repair install from your install
CD.

Ok, english is not my language :-(

- xp x64
- normal mode is ok
- any safe mode gives BSOD
- it's a long time I do not use safe mode
- I installed a lot of new drivers and software in the while
- I do not want to risk my normal mode configuration with experiments

thank you
 
Re: can't boot in safe mode

Clear now. I would go into normal mode and in system/advanced
settings/startup uncheck the box to automatically restart. This should give
you the opportunity to get the error codes and messages.

RE: can't boot in safe mode

Try "Safemode with Command Prompt", and then use the Windows Key on your
keyboard to access what you need.
