Re: Can't get into SAFE Mode
Which keyboard are you using ? is it multimedia keyboard? If yes, than you will need to first press “F lock” key to make F8 key work properly. If that dint work, than follow the next step mentioned below:
- Go to Start Menu, type Msconfig, press Enter.
- In the opened system configuration window go to Boot Tab.
- Select Safe Mode option below and press OK.
Now restart the computer and it will boot in safe mode.
Re: Can't get into SAFE Mode
That is the correct alternative for Safe Mode, Stuartl, but dint you forget to mention the last step. He must remove the tick from Safe Mode option in msconfig in order to boot in normal mode.
Other than I would like to tell you that in my motherboard, I need to press F8 then F4 and then F8 quickly to get into Safe Mode. Mine is Asus Motherboard. So I guess it also depends on Motherboard make and model. You will need to find out if that is the situation for your mobo.
