Safe Mode

[Guest]

Since installing SP2 I am unable to get in to SAFE MODE.
Tried all the tips in the "help" section but do not get a drop down box
option on re-start. F8 Key does not access safe mode.

Should I remove SP2 and see if this is where the problem is?

If F8 isn't working, try this...

Start | Run | Type: msconfig | OK |
Boot.ini tab | Select: /SAFEBOOT under Boot Options |
OK | Restart | Computer should restart in Safe Mode |
Be patient ;-)
