Use Windows XP security mode to solve system problems

When you encounter very difficult system problems, choosing the Windows security mode can solve many problems. Here we will introduce three unique advantages of WinXP.

1. fixed connection interruption

In some cases, disabling the Administrator account may cause maintenance difficulties, such as in the domain environment. When the security channel used to establish the connection fails for some reason, if there is no other local administrator account, you must restart the computer in safe mode to solve the connection status interruption problem.

2. Detect incompatible hardware

WinXP adopts a digital signature-based driver mode, which is more rigorous than in the past in detecting various hardware. Therefore, some devices may not be able to drive normally. For example, the early CableModem. If you find that WinXP does not recognize hardware in normal mode, you can press F8 at startup and select safe mode to enter. When detecting new hardware in security mode, it is possible to load the driver for the CableModem correctly.

3. Uninstall the incorrect driver.

If the driver is not applicable to your hardware, you can use the WinXP driver to restore it. However, if the video card and hard disk IDE driver are installed incorrectly, the system may crash as soon as you enter the GUI, this is also true for some motherboard ULTRADMA patches. Because Windows must read the memory and disk pages at any time before browsing! Windows uses the default settings (VGA Monitor, Microsoft mouse driver, no network connection, minimum device driver required to start Windows) in winXP security mode ), and the security mode starts with the least number of services. In this way, the wrong IDE and video card drivers will not be loaded. In this case, you can delete the software or hardware that caused the fault and restore the system with the driver. Win9X is not that convenient. Therefore, WinXP has higher hardware requirements, but it is worth using.

Of course, the usage of the security mode is far more than that. We will explore it together.
