        * You will be prompted to restart the computer. Click Yes. The computer will restart in Safe mode.

        * When you are finished with troubleshooting in Safe mode, open MSCONFIG again and uncheck "Enable Start-up Menu." under the Advanced Menu, then click OK and restart your computer

    Windows 2000

        * If the computer is running, shut down Windows, and then turn off the power

        * Wait 30 seconds, and then turn the computer on.

        * When you see the black-and-white Starting Windows bar at the bottom of the screen, start tapping the F8 key. The Windows 2000 Advanced Options Menu appears.

        * Ensure that the Safe mode option is selected. In most cases, it is the first item in the list and is selected by default.

        * Press Enter. The computer then begins to start in Safe mode.

        * When you are finished with all troubleshooting, close all programs and restart the computer as you normally would.

    Windows XP

    If Windows XP is the only operating system installed on your computer, booting into Safe Mode with these instructions.

        * If the computer is running, shut down Windows, and then turn off the power

        * Wait 30 seconds, and then turn the computer on.

        * Start tapping the F8 key. The Windows Advanced Options Menu appears. If you begin tapping the F8 key too soon, some computers display a "keyboard error" message. To resolve this, restart the computer and try again.

        * Ensure that the Safe mode option is selected.

        * Press Enter. The computer then begins to start in Safe mode.

        * When you are finished with all troubleshooting, close all programs and restart the computer as you normally would.

  3. Repeatedly tap the F8 key during the boot-up process, but after the Power On Self Test (POST) has almost finished.

    This action will cause a 'boot menu' to appear.  One of the choices offered in the boot menu will start Windows in 'Safe Mode'.  Choose that option, and you're on your way.

  4. As soon as you start your reboot keep clicking on the key F8, until you see a screen open that will show safe mode, last good configuration, etc. etc.,  Then move your cursor on your keyboard upto safe mode and hit enter.  The safe mode monitor will look very strange, just ignore how it looks and perform what ever task you have to.
