Keeps booting into Safe Mode

by tonydee . Updated 22 years ago

I have a Win98 machine. IBM Activa, which has been working very well until recently. It booted into Safe Mode. It kept booting into Safe Mode. I had hoped it would correct itself.

Running MSCONFIG, I disable all the startup items and it started OK. I then enabled all those items and it started OK and I thought things were good because I could restart it, even after a complete power down and it came up OK.

The next day, it came up in Safe Mode again. I repeated what I did the day before with the same results. Again, I thought I was in the clear. This time I even set the clock ahead a day thinking maybe it had something to do with seeing a new day at startup. Restart several times – OK. Many startups after completely powering down.

Again the next day – it came up in Safe Mode. – Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance,
