No networking drivers or devices load when I select Safe Mode with
Networking!! It used to work. Any idea how to fix it? It does not matter
which account I try either.

It used to? On that same PC? Is this a USB networking device? Finally, is
there a reason (really) for trying to use networking in safe mode?

Well I built this machine a year ago, I think it used to! No it's not a usb
network, its an gigabit Nforce 3 Motherboard network. I fix Windows and Pc
problems for a living. I occasioanally use safe mode to download virus
detection signatures when regular mode is swamped with spyware and crap. It
does come in handy. I can live with out it. I just like stuff to work even if
I dont need it! (I like to know why its broke too)

A pretty long search shows mostly people saying silly things that SHOULD not
matter. All most all of them are saying it's drivers and, well, that could
be the case but it seems illogical to me. If it were a driver issue I'd
guess that you'd likely have the problems in regular mode as well. So, where
does that leave us? In your device manager (in safe mode with networking) do
the devices appear? How about if you use a different account - do they then
appear? This is a curious one (which is why I was attracted to it) and I
suppose I'd look there next. I'm also wondering about the connection
itself - meaning is there anything installed (perhaps some firewall that
loads as a service that is required before a connection can be made) that
could be preventing this?

No, no networking devices are present in safe mode. I ried diffrent accounts
as well. Seems kinda weird. I have no problems at all in regular mode. I am
running Norton Internet security 2005. It has a firewall. As a test i have a
customers computer in which I just installed Norton on and it boot with
network in safe mode!
My machine just flat out does not load the networking components in safe
mode. I have a USB network adapter, I wonder if that will work? I'l have to
try it. But, I am very puzzled about this issue.

I can't say that it's something I've seen either. As a bit of a test I went
ahead and loaded a PC in safe mode with networking and sure enough it seems
to work just famously. Have you given the USB device a shot yet?

Try running SFC /SCANNOW

If that doesn't work then a Repair Install would be my next
suggestion.

Good luck
