I'm trying to start windows up in safe mode, but no
matter what screen I press F8 at, it starts normal. Tried
it on shutdown as well(before restart).

If you just pressed it once, you likely missed the trigger point, Boot the
system, at the first screen, start tapping F8 and continue to do so until
the menu appears.

The other thing it could be, Mike, is he's got a keyboard with an F Lock
key. Many people don't realise you have to enable it in order to access the
function keys.

Good point.
