Can anyone tell me if it's possible to boot into Safe Mode !with! sound enabled please?

I've tried but with no success, but am sure that there must be a way to do it as it.

If it help's any, my soundcard is a SoundBlaster PCI128

Thank's anyone that can possibly help :-)

Sniper.

I don't believe so since "Safe Mode" is the O/S loaded with a minimal of drivers,
and audio isn't necessary for Windows to run.

Yeah, if i remember correctly, in XP atleast, the sound is tied in with windows itself, Im pretty sure its the svchost prog, the one with the most memory running.

I suppose that if you really wanted sound you could manually start it? But not sure on that, seems logical though.

Atleast you can get networking though. :)
