My computer is not booting up properly. I was wondering what buttons to press in order to get to the safe mode option window. Thanks

As your computer restarts but before Windows launches, press F8. On a computer that is configured for booting to multiple operating systems, you can press F8 when the boot menu appears.
Use the arrow keys to highlight the appropriate safe mode option, and then press ENTER.
If you have a dual-boot or multiple-boot system, choose the installation that you need to access using the arrow keys, and then press ENTER.
If Windows launches before you can choose a safe mode, restart your computer and try again.
In safe mode, you have access to only basic files and drivers (mouse, monitor, keyboard, mass storage, base video, default system services, and no network connections). You can choose the Safe Mode with Networking option, which loads all of the above files and drivers and the essential services and drivers to start networking, or you can choose the Safe Mode with Command Prompt option, which is exactly the same as safe mode except that a command prompt is started instead of the graphical user interface. You can also choose Last Known Good Configuration, which starts your computer using the registry information that was saved at the last shutdown.

Safe mode for win xp.
If the computer is running it is best to shut down Windows and then turn off the power.
Begin by first clicking on the Start Button and then click on Turn Off Computer.
Now click on the Turn Off red colored icon to shut down your computer system.
It is best to wait between 15 to 30 seconds before you turn your system back on.
Turn on your computer and start tapping the F8 key on your keyboard.
Some Computers may display a keyboard error message if you begin tapping F8 too quickly.
Restart your computer again and begin tapping the F8 key a brief second or two later.
When the Windows Advanced Options Menu appears, Choose the Safe Mode option and hit Enter.
Windows will now boot your computer up in Safe Mode.

Reboot your Pc and keep pressing F8. If it makes it to the Windows screen with the progress bar running that means you missed it. So reboot and try again.

F8. yet you ought to get it in the two 2d window after the producer's kind disappears, and before the 1st homestead windows kind looks, which may be confusing to do. propose which you turn on the workstation and immediately start to press and launch the F8 till you the two get the risk-free Mode reveal screen, or the homestead windows kind (wherein case you ignored it and ought to reboot).
