last known good configuration help!!

[salami1212]

Well. I did loadsa stuff on my comp and its all fine, but when I restarted it said, safe mode, etc and last known good configuration. I pressed that, what does it change. Registry, or hardweare changes?

If your machine was operating fine prior to this choice, It shouldn't affect much.

It affects drivers, installed software ( registry entries ) and settings.

Say like you install a driver, and its corrupted, your system becomes unstable and such, use system restore or last known good config and it resets your system back to when it was working properly

Yea I noticed its been hit or miss with that choice. Sometimes it works great and sometimes it does nothing. I remember reading a long long time ago in one of my books excatly that what the diff was between this and system restore. Let me see if I can dig it up just for reference.

It has gotten me outta plenty of jams, that and system restore.
