Is there another way to get nto safe mode as I want to run virus scanner etc
through it as I am trying to get rid of SurfSideKick but F8 button just isnt
working at all. I have tried it 12 times now and its driving me crazy
 
Hi

Can you access Safe Mode by using the F5 key instead?

If you can boot into Normal Mode, try this:

Click Start Button:
Click: Run
Type: msconfig
Click the boot.ini tab and select the /SAFEBOOT option
Click the APPLY and OK buttons

When you reboot it will go into Safe Mode without your having to do anything.
When you are done in Safe Mode, don't forget to undo this change in msconfig.
