How To Get Into Windows SAFE Mode
If you experience problems, SAFE MODE can often help. Enter Safe Mode and uninstall the most recent programs you have installed or start SYSTEM RESTORE and restore the computer back to a time when all was OK.
To get into the Windows Vista Safe mode, as the computer is booting press and hold your “F8 Key” which should bring up the Advanced Boot Options as shown above. Use your arrow keys to move to “Safe Mode” and press your Enter key.
Note: With some computers if you press and hold a key as the computer is booting you will get a stuck key message. If this occurs, instead of pressing and holding the “F8 key”, tap the “F8 key” continuously until you get the startup menu.
Once you restart out of Safe Mode the system will reboot into normal Windows Mode automatically.
