| Warning: Windows Safe Mode Unsafe for USB | |
| from PCWorld TipWorld | |
|
The Problem: When Windows 98 thinks
you have a conflict with an IRQ or driver, it boots up in safe mode, a
restricted running mode with a reduced number of device drivers and
options. Unfortunately, no USB device works under safe mode, either.
This means your USB mouse and keyboard [if you are
|
using one] won't work, and you might be stuck with no way to use your system.
The solution: Keep a legacy keyboard and mouse around, so that you can still run in safe mode. |
