hopefully i posted this in the RIGHT board but i hooked up my computer and it sayd that the moniter is in safe mode and i need to activate USING the pc i have done everything it just stays on that screen i even upplugged it and hooked it back in what do i do?Maybe Windows is in safe mode? How about some specifics about the hardware and what preceeded this.

See below.i dont really know much bout its at my gpmas HOUSE and my friends just just whooop here ya GO a computer but it is in safe mode wut f button do i push to fix it?There may be an "easy" button on the bottom, but if not, wait until you have the computer in front of you and hooked up. Then post back. What the *censored*?I am new in this forum but I am not new to computers. Why do people never listen to what they are told? You cannot go to a doctor and HOPE he finds whats wrong with you if you don't tell him anything.

If anyone posts a problem please make sure to give enough info about it [smiley=thumbsup.gif].

my friend says all he knows it has windows 98 on it and his uncle built the thingThen the only advice can be take it to a shop. do u think i should just reformat it?In your first post you mentioned that you needed to activate it. Now it is Win98 on the machine.

Something is amiss here. Is the machine sitting in front of you? Do you have a legal MS Windows CD to install with? What is it? Have you ever loaded an operating system before?no its not right in fornt of me right now and i have put windows on computers b4
