141057 2003-05-03 12:27:00 With Xp it takes ages... upto 15 minutes to load. Try again, but this time, go and have a coffee and come back about 20 mins later and should be in safe mode. Definitely nothing like win 95 or 98. Pheonix (280)
141058 2003-05-03 12:37:00 you have to be kidding, it doesnt take me anywhere near 15 mins to boot into safe mode!

141059 2003-05-03 13:36:00 Some systems do take along time to load in safe mode. My Win2k takes a good 5 - 7 mins. Berryb (654)
141060 2003-05-03 15:35:00 DAM! What is wrong with your computers! It take a blistering 10-15 seconds for me. Gess, 15 minutes? I can reinstall Windows in that time! LOL. ^_^ JamesStewart (874)
