Windows Vista Safe Mode - Step 3 of 5

The minimum system files necessary to run Windows Vista will now load. Each file being loaded will be displayed on screen.

Note: You don't need to do anything here but this screen could provide a good place to start troubleshooting if your computer is experiencing very serious problems and Safe Mode won't completely load.

If Safe Mode freezes here, document the last Windows Vista file being loaded and then search my site or the rest of the Internet for troubleshooting advice. You can always post the problem in the PC Support forum as well.
