RE: No Sound in Safe Mode

I believe this must be possible I have been trying to figure this out myself
too because I have many times wished there was a gaming mode in windows where
windows would load only the basic architecture and services neccessary to run
a game so the maximum amount of CPU power can be used by the game instead of
a by multitude of unneccessary windows services. I believe there must be an
ini file of some kind that lists everything windows loads in normal mode and
in safe mode and that this could be modified to turn safe mode into a CPU
intensive gaming mode

There is (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contr ol\SafeBoot) but
you loose video acceleration in safe mode which makes it a dumb idea.
