If things are going wrong with your system and it's become unusable,
you can bring it up in Safe Mode. That basically means without any of
the drivers you have specified, so the video system will be in
640x480, 256 color mode (the most basic), you may not have sound, you
won't be able to use scanners, cameras, or other things that need
special drivers. You will be able to use your computer, look at
various settings, determine what's wrong and get it fixed. Then you
can go back to normal mode.

I guess "DOS Mode" means looking at a DOS command prompt. It might
also refer to an environment where programs can use no more than 1MB
of RAM, and have the other restrictions that we lived under when we
had to use DOS.

"Command mode" would also describe a command-line environment, except
that the Win9x systems and WinNT, Win2000, and WinXP have a 32-bit
command console environment. Programs running in that environment,
even though they are character mode and interact with you via the
command line, can do anything that a full-blown graphically oriented
Windows program can do (including starting a graphic-oriented Windows
program).
