Brenda,

Well that doesn't seem like a very safe mode to me *g*

Have you checked MSDN? The laptops manufacturers website?

>Last off topic - I made a boot floppy. My laptop does not have a floppy so I copied the files to a CD. My BIOS says to first boot from the multibay. I put the CD in the machine and turn it on. I get the black screen boot stuff, then the Windows XP loading screen, then blue screen, then black screen with Safe Mode in each of the four corners and the Alt+Ctrl+Del and no mouse and no keyboard. What can I do differently?
