233293 2004-05-01 00:58:00 My sister can't get her DImage software to load on her comp and she lives about a ten hour drive away so I can't do it myself but I wonder if in general it would be a good idea to install progs from a CD while in Safe Mode?

Save conflicts maybe?

Dunno. Just a thought. ?:|

233296 2004-05-01 01:29:00 When in safe mode most drivers aren't loaded and you get a basic screen resolution so it is more likely to cause problems through the install being unable to detect the correct settings. mikebartnz (21)
233297 2004-05-01 01:32:00 Ok take your point. Could have thought a bit more about it myself and realised that trying to install a prog while in what is really a diagnostic mode is asking for boo-boos.

thanks 4 yr help though. :)
