I feel dumb asking this: what is the difference between Clean Boot and Safe
Mode? Can they be used interchangeably? I am troubleshooting a PartitionMagic
issue and the company said to perform a clean boot to resolve driver
conflicts. I've used SM before but not CB. I know how to configure it but
when I restarted my computer everything looked the same.
Thx!
Safe Mode starts Windoes with what MS calls a "minimal set of drivers."
For example, you'll only have the standard VGA video driver, which is
why the screen resolution looks the way it does in Safe Mode.
A "Clean Boot" starts in normal mode, but without all of the background
applications and [non-Microsoft] services that you usually have running
(most of which you probably don't even know are running). See
