re: I'm running blind! Thursday, July 10, 2003 at 6:10 pm Windows Me Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Daddio (2 messages posted) Fantastic. I had tried safe mode. I used it in Win98 a lot, but figured it wasn't in ME when I tried it and it didn't work. The trick was that I was using a wireless keyboard. After you confirmed what I suspected to be the fix, I dug in deeper and pulled out my old keyboard.. .voila! IT'S A MIRACLE, I CAN SEE!!!!!
