Category: Install Issues Platform: All Windows Product: All32Bit, Question: How do I start my computer in Safe Mode or VGA mode? Answer: SAFE MODE (Windows 95): There are two ways: 1. Hold down the SHIFT key as you restart until the Windows screen comes up. 2. When you restart, watch the screen for the text "Starting Windows 95". When you see this hit F8 and choose Safe Mode from the option menu which comes up. VGA MODE (Windows NT): Windows NT should offer a menu at start up where you can select VGA mode. If you do not see this option it may not be installed.
