Introduction to Windows XP system startup mode

In this era of open network, users in the use of computers will be a variety of problems, such as the computer can not start a normal failure, we usually know that when the system started press F8 will enter the Winowsxp Advanced Options menu, a variety of different startup mode, I believe many users know very little, Then I would like to introduce you to the choice of the mode of meaning.

(1) Safe mode: When using Safe mode to start Windows XP, the system starts with only some of the most basic files and drivers. Access to Safe mode is an important step in diagnosing failures. If Safe mode does not determine the problem after startup, or if you cannot start Safe mode at all, you may need to repair the system using the Emergency Repair Disk ERD function.

(2) network security mode: Similar to safe mode, but increased support for network connections. This option is useful for troubleshooting Windows XP startup failures in the LAN environment.

(3) Safe Mode at the command prompt: Also similar to safe mode, use only basic files and drivers to start Windows XP. However, the screen appears at a command prompt instead of the Windows desktop.

(4) Enable startup logging: Starts Windows XP and logs all drivers and services loaded by the system to a file. The file name is Ntbtlog.txt and is located in the Windir directory. This log is useful for determining the exact cause of system startup problems.

(5) Enable VGA mode: Use the basic VGA driver to start Windows XP. This pattern is useful when you install a new graphics driver that makes Windows XP not start correctly, or if a failure occurs due to improper refresh frequency settings. When you start Windows XP in Safe mode, only the most basic graphics drivers are used.

(6) Last Known Good Configuration: Choosing to start Windows XP with the last known Good configuration is a way to troubleshoot problems such as the newly added driver and hardware. Starting in this way, Windows XP restores only the information under the registry key Hklmsystemcurrentcontrolset. Any changes made in other registry keys remain unchanged.

(7) Directory Service Recovery mode: Not applicable to windowsxpprofessional. This is for the Windowsxpserver operating system and is used only to restore the SYSVOL directory and ActiveDirectory directory service on the domain controller.

(8) Debug mode: Start Windows XP While debugging information is sent over a serial cable to another computer. If you are or have already used Remote Installation Services to install Windows XP on your computer, you can see additional options associated with using the Remote Installation Services recovery system.

In general, users start XP system is rarely used to boot menu options, in addition to the emergency situation, can not enter the system, only in the specified mode to start the system to successfully enter the system. The user has mastered the XP system in the boot menu in the various boot mode, you can be familiar with the operation.

The above is I for everyone on the role of the introduction of the model, I believe that the understanding of the various modes, in the future use of the computer in the process of encountering such problems can be better to make a solution.
