Booting into "Safe Mode"..

Shut the Computer off.... Turn it back on and wait a few seconds then start "Tapping" the F8 key at
about 1-second intervals until the "Menu" comes up.... Choose Safe Mode.

Second way to get into Safe Mode with XP

To use the System Configuration Utility method

* Close all open programs.
* Click Start, Run and type MSCONFIG in the box and click OK
* The System Configuration Utility appears, On the BOOT.INI tab, Check the "/SAFEBOOT" option, and then click OK and Restart your computer when prompted.
* The computer restarts in Safe mode.
* Perform the troubleshooting steps for which you are using Safe Mode.
When you are finished with troubleshooting in Safe mode, open MSCONFIG again, on the BOOT.INI tab, uncheck "/SAFEBOOT" and click OK to restart your computer
