SAFE Mode

G

Guest

I had a virus on a pc so I followed the symantec instructions on how to
remove it which said to uncheck system restore and boot up machine in SAFE
MODE now I can't uncheck the system restore tab because it is in safe mode
and I can't get it to boot up in Normal mode. I tried hitting F8 and telling
it to boot in normal mode but it still comes up in SAFE MODE.

Help!

Hi,

Click Start/Run and type MSCONFIG
Select the Boot.ini tab.
In the "Boot Options" sections, which items are enabled?
