greenknight Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 I can't run online AV scans in safe mode because I can't get online. I boot in safe mode with networking, but when I try to dial up I get "Error: Please install modem". On the Control Panel the "Phone and Modem" icon is not even there. What's with that?

Administrator Tarun Posted October 31, 2005 Administrator Share Posted October 31, 2005 Safe Mode loads the bare minimum to get into Windows XP. The networking is probably the LAN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenknight Posted November 1, 2005 Author Share Posted November 1, 2005 It must work in some versions of Windows, but apparently not this one. Not really important, just wondered if there was some kind of workaround. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inu-ya Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 Safe Mode is not for Online Purposess. It's only to take care of Business such as: Removing certain programs that won't Uninstall under Windows Itself and defrag which I recommend to myself. But other then getting on the Internet. Nope no way, no how :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenknight Posted December 5, 2005 Author Share Posted December 5, 2005 It's just that I've seen instructions to run online virus scans in safe mode. It often says that if you can't get online in safe mode, do it in normal mode, but never is it explained why you might not be able to get online in safe mode. I suppose there's no way to make it work with dialup, no big deal anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
