Section 1: INTRODUCTION
---------------------------------------------------------------------
This document demonstrates how to do a clean-boot installation for
the desktop and Client/Server versions of Delphi 1.0, and the
all other versions of Delphi in Windows 95.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Section 2: WHAT IS SAFE MODE?
---------------------------------------------------------------------
An important feature that comes with Windows 95 is the "Safe Mode"
option. "Safe Mode" is one of the several different ways of
loading Windows 95. In "Safe Mode", Windows 95 does not load and use
any of your device drivers installed in your system, including your
video card, sound card, modem, monitor, mouse, joysticks, etc.
Instead, Windows 95 loads up and use the default standard VGA mode in
16 colors and a standard mouse and keyboard driver. One of the
advantage of using "Safe Mode" is to free up more conventional
memorys and remove any device driver that can cause conflicts during
the installation process.
