-pops- Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 I had a similar problem once then I realised that the "F" lock on my fancy keyboard wasn't on.Ensure that the function keys are functioning.If it's not that then, apologies. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cozofdeath Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 You can try holding F5 while the computer is booting. I usually just repeatedly press F8 till I get to the boot list but give F5 a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarecrow Man Posted January 27, 2007 Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 You can also add the /SAFEBOOT switch to your boot.ini. Go to start > run > msconfig > boot.ini and put a tick beside /SAFEBOOT. this will cause your computer to automatically boot into safe mode. Just remeber to untick this box to get back into regular mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
