I thought that it is called "Safe Mode" in Win 2000 but "Protected
Mode" in Win9x - but maybe I am wrong and it is called "Safe Mode" in
both. I use the German versions of Win and the naming might be
different. ("Safe Mode" in Win 2000, but "Abgesicherter Modus" in
Win9x.) However, if you use the shortcuts "Ctrl" or "F5" it will lead
you into the right direction despite of its name.

Is it possible to install XyWin under DOS? I could not find a way to
unpack the setup files as they do not seem to be in a custom format.
