No - not Safe mode. It says windows is operating in
Protective mode and some devices aren't accessible. Also
there is an article on the Microsoft Knowledge base that
says that the CD ROM may be bussed through the Sound card
when Windows Me is working in Protective mode. Although
the sound card doesn't contain the driver information
thats needed to make the CD drive accessible.
Thanks for helping.
