Common methods for recovering WINDOWS failures (3)

4. Safe Mode Boot

To resolve potential problems related to the environment, in Safe Mode or Safe Mode with networking support to restart the computer. Use Safe Mode if the problem is from a program that does not rely on a network connection. If the issue is a network issue (including browser issues), you will need to boot into secure mode with network support.

Using Sigverif to Identify Drivers That Cause Failures

Drivers that have been tested by Windows Hardware Quality Labs (WHQL) generally do not cause problems, and they all have a digital signature as a flag. Drivers that do not have a digital signature can cause problems. Use the signature verification tool (Sigverif.exe) to find files that are not digitally signed. Test the files in the %Windir%\\System32\\Drivers folder. Use the run box to type sigverif to launch the interface.

Click Advanced, click Find other files that are not digitally signed, click Browse, browse to the Windows\\System32\\Drivers folder, click OK twice, and click Start. A list of all non-digitally signed drivers installed on your computer is displayed.

You need to determine which file is causing the problem, create a new folder BAK, then move the unsigned driver shown above to it and restart the computer (unsigned driver is no longer in Windows) In the \\System32\\Drivers folder, so it no longer works), then test the program or other features to see if the same error message or problem still occurs. Put the driver associated with the same program or device back into the Windows\\System32\\Drivers folder each time to determine the cause of the problem. For those drivers that cause the failure, resolutely shut down (disable) by: start-run-%systemroot%\\system32\\compmgmt.msc /s-OK - Device Manager - double-click the device and click on the device usage list Do not use this device (disabled) and click OK. Of course, you can try the “Update Drivers for This Device from Vendors” option to update the launcher. The corresponding service is turned off by the service in the management tool. You can also use the following method: Start - Run %systemroot%\\system32\\services.msc /s-OK - Double-click the service, click Disable in the Startup type list, and then click OK.

Solving Configuration Problems with Msconfig

Starting Msconfig: Start-Run-Msconfig-OK. Msconfig includes the following files and settings preferences: System.ini file Win.ini file Boot.ini file Set to programs loaded during startup (these programs are specified in the startup folder and registry) Environment Settings International Settings

Repeatedly launching and specifying loading an item and its lines eliminates configuration-independent issues. Windows 2000 does not have an Msconfig file and can be copied from Windows XP. Do not use the Msconfig file under Windows 98, because the Msconfig file under 98 does not recognize configuration files such as System.ini for Windows 2000 systems.
