To start the computer in safe mode
1. You should print these instructions before continuing. They will not be
available after you shut your computer down in step 2.
2. Click Start and then click Shut Down.
3. In the drop-down list of the Shut Down Windows dialog box, click Restart, and
then click OK.
4. As your computer restarts but before Windows launches, press F8.
On a computer that is configured for booting to multiple operating systems, you
can press F8 when the boot menu appears.
5. Use the arrow keys to highlight the appropriate safe mode option, and then
press ENTER.
6. If you have a dual-boot or multiple-boot system, choose the installation that
you need to access using the arrow keys, and then press ENTER.
