How do you reboot Windows in Safe Mode?

There are two ways you can do this.

Assuming you can get into your computer, you can set it up to automatically reboot in Safe.

1. Press and hold the Windows key + R to execute "Run"

2. Type "MSCONFIG" without quotes, press enter

3. Open the second tab: "Boot"

4. Find the "Boot Options" box (just under the "Advanced" button")

5. Tick the "Safe boot" checkbox

6. Click "Apply", then "OK"

7. Restart Windows 7 as you normally would.

This will automatically start Windows 7 in Safe Mode.

REMEMBER TO GO THROUGH THE ABOVE PROCESS TO

REMOVE THE SAFE BOOT OPTION, ONCE YOU'RE DONE,

OR YOU WILL CONTINUE TO START UP IN SAFE MODE!

The second method is infinitely easier, but it requires

a little bit of precision timing, to pull it it off.

1. Start your computer

2. After the Manufacturer's screen splash, press "F8"

3. Enure you do this before the "Starting Windows" splash comes up.

4. This will bring up the OS's "Boot Options"

5. Select "Safe Mode"

6. If you need Internet while in safe, select "Safe Mode with Networking".

Unlike the first method, this will launch the OS in Safe Mode only when

you press F8 to access boot options; when you restart Windows 7, it

will launch normally.

You may need a couple of tries to get your timing right, between the

manufacturer's screen, and the "Starting Windows" splash.

What is the name resolution?

Name resolution is a function of DNS (Domain Name System). Computers do not use names to communicate with each other in TCP/IP networks or on the Internet. Instead, they use IP Addresses. An IP Address is a series of numbers (IPv4). For example, the IP Address for this site (wiki.answers.com) is 67.196.156.25. That is not exactly a number that most humans will find easy to remember. In order to be able to type http://wiki.answers.com/ into your browser and get to the site successfully, your computer has to contact a DNS Server. The DNS Server will take the name you pass it, and return an IP address. Your computer will then use this IP Address to communicate with the remote web server, and then your browser can display the page. Without DNS, you would have to know the IP address of every server you wanted to connect to.

Can I use Windows XP home as a website server?

There is nothing that specifically stops you from using Windows XP as a server. However, the TCP/IP stack has been "crippled" to limit the number of simultaneous connections, ostensibly to prevent the spread of malware. This would stop you from effectively using a Windows XP as a large-scale server. There are patches to improve such functionality.
