hi, just new to the forum and was hoping to get some help to start windows in safe mode. on restart i hit the f8 key and select to start windows in safe mode, i choose the operating system then after awhile i get to the page windows starting in safe mode, loading personnel settings and then the screen goes black and on the bottom right and left of the screen it reads safe mode but i dont get to the desktop even after waitin half a hour. any help to get me into safe mode would be appreciated. thanks, jim
