520625 2007-01-30 07:40:00 Can't get Windows XP Professional (with Broadband) to open in Safe Mode. Quck punching of F8 does nothing. Any Ideas, please Siobhan (6842)
520626 2007-01-30 07:47:00 Press F8 , keep your finger on it, after u reboot.

Just pressing it, and taking ur finger off F8, after u reboot, wont bring up the menu to select safe mode.

To use the System Configuration Utility method:

* Close all open programs.
* Click Start, Run and type MSCONFIG in the box and click OK
* The System Configuration Utility appears, On the BOOT.INI tab, Check the "/SAFEBOOT" option, and then click OK and Restart your computer when prompted.
* The computer restarts in Safe mode.
* Perform the troubleshooting steps for which you are using Safe Mode.
When you are finished with troubleshooting in Safe mode, open MSCONFIG again, on the BOOT.INI tab, uncheck "/SAFEBOOT" and click OK to restart your computer.
