Step-by-step confirmation
With this option, the system asks you to confirm each line of the startup
process. Use this option when:
■ The startup process fails while loading the startup files.
■ You need to verify that all drivers are being loaded.
■ You need to temporarily disable one or more specific driver(s).
■ You need to check for errors in the startup files.
When you select Step-by-step confirmation, you can view the startup files
and device drivers one line at a time to help diagnose the source of a
problem.
Command prompt only (for Windows98 only)
This option starts the basic operating system with all the startup files and
device drivers. Use it when you want to run MS-DOS
® commands.
This option is for advanced users who are familiar with MS-DOS and know
what MS-DOS commands do.
Safe mode command prompt only (for Windows98 only)
Use this option when:
■ Windows fails to start even in Safe mode.
■ You want to run MS-DOS commands, such as Edit, to make changes
to your startup files.
■ You want to avoid loading Himem.sys (extended memory manager), or
Ifshlp.sys (file system manager).
