After starting or restarting a computer and the problems of the computer are not
               fixed, the computer can be restarted into Safe Mode.






               Safe Mode

               Safe Mode is a troubleshooting option for windows that start your computer in a
               limited state. Only the basic files and drivers necessary to run the windows are
               started.

               How to Restart your Computer in Safe Mode
                        1.  Restart the computer from the start menu. (As done above)
                        2.  While the computer is restarting, keep on pressing the F8 key until
                            the various options to start the computer appears.

                        3.  Use the Arrow Keys to move the cursor on the Safe Mode option.
                        4.  Press the Enter Key. Computer Restarts in Safe Mode.
               After restarting in Safe Mode, the words ‘Safe Mode’ appear on the corners of
               the screen to identify which Windows mode you are using. When the existing
               problem(s) does not reappear in Safe Mode, you can eliminate the default
               settings and basic device drivers as possible causes.
