  2. Safe mode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safe_mode

    Also, in a multi-boot environment with multiple versions of Windows installed side by side, the F8 key can be pressed at the OS selector prompt to get to safe mode. However, under Windows 8 (released in 2012), the traditional press-F8-for-safe-mode-options UI convention no longer works, and either Shift-F8 or a special GUI-based workaround is ...

    Well, I have cleaned too many of these amvo.exe viri at my hostel. To start off, boot your pc to safe mode by pressing F8 just before the OS loads till start options appear. Open command prompt. Move to your system directory (mostly c:\windows\system32\). Type attrib -s -h -r amv*.* . Delete all those that appear. There might be more in the system.

  4. Booting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Booting

    Boot loaders may face peculiar constraints, especially in size; for instance, on the IBM PC and compatibles, the boot code must fit in the Master Boot Record (MBR) and the Partition Boot Record (PBR), which in turn are limited to a single sector; on the IBM System/360, the size is limited by the IPL medium, e.g., card size, track size.

    Mac: The classic Mac OS supported system extensions known generally as FKEYS which could be installed in the System file and could be accessed with a Command-Shift-(number) keystroke combination (Command-Shift-3 was the screen capture function included with the system, and was installed as an FKEY); however, early Macintosh keyboards did not support numbered function keys in the normal sense.

  6. x86 instruction listings - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86_instruction_listings

    The default OperandSize and AddressSize to use for each instruction is given by the D bit of the segment descriptor of the current code segment - D=0 makes both 16-bit, D=1 makes both 32-bit. Additionally, they can be overridden on a per-instruction basis with two new instruction prefixes that were introduced in the 80386:

  7. Loop unrolling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loop_unrolling

    Unless performed transparently by an optimizing compiler, the code may become less readable. If the code in the body of the loop involves function calls, it may not be possible to combine unrolling with inlining, since the increase in code size might be excessive. Thus, there can be a trade-off between the two optimizations.

    CONFIG.SYS is the primary configuration file for the DOS and OS/2 operating systems.It is a special ASCII text file that contains user-accessible setup or configuration directives evaluated by the operating system's DOS BIOS (typically residing in IBMBIO.COM or IO.SYS) during boot.
