See if you can get to Safe Mode this way.

Start | Run | Type: msconfig | Click OK |
Boot.ini tab | Check: /SAFEBOOT | Click Apply |
Click OK | When you see the prompt to restart the computer |
Click Restart

Don't forget to UNCheck /SAFEBOOT in msconfig after/if you get into Safe
Mode and are done doing whatever or you will be STUCK in Safe Mode.
