Problems with Safe Mode

[James]

Hi,
I recently had to put my machine in Safe Mode on returning to
normal I now have a screen that appears after the bios screen which
gives some options about starting in Widows XP and some other mode.
the screen only appears for a couple of seconds then the computer
starts normally. I have never seen this screen before I used Safe
Mode.
What is it and how can I get rid of it ?
Sorry if this message appears a few times my news server is having
problems

Thanks and Regards
James

How did you get into Safe Mode?

System Configuration Tool Method?

If so look here...

Using the System Configuration Tool Method

Step 9. When are finished with your tasks, complete steps 1-7 again, but in
Step 6 this time uncheck the checkbox labeled "/SAFEBOOT". Then click on the
General tab and set it for Normal startup.

Step 10: Reboot the computer back into normal mode.

Hope this helps. Let us know.

I have a related problem in that when I try to set the system config back to
normal mode, the /SAFEBOOT automatically checks and the system boots to
Safemode. I can't seem to get it to boot normally...every time I uncheck the
/SAFEBOOT option and then check Normal mode, the /SAFEBOOT option is checked.

Suggestions?

Thanks in advance.
