How do you boot up in safe mode when there are problems booting normally?

Answer 1

I believe right after you start to boot up your pc you just keep fitting F8. Make sure you are hitting it while the computer is booting up.

Answer 2

Hope this helps

To start the computer in safe mode
You should print these instructions before continuing. They will not be available after you shut your computer down in step 2.
Click Start, click Shut Down, and then, in the drop-down list, click Shut down.
In the Shut Down Windows dialog box, click Restart, and then click OK.
When you see the message Please select the operating system to start, press F8.
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.
Notes

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 helps you diagnose problems. If a symptom does not reappear when you start in safe mode, you can eliminate the default settings and minimum device drivers as possible causes. If a newly added device or a changed driver is causing problems, you can use safe mode to remove the device or reverse the change.
There are circumstances where safe mode will not be able to help you, such as when Windows system files that are required to start the system are corrupted or damaged. In this case, the Recovery Console may help you.
NUM LOCK must be off before the arrow keys on the numeric keypad will function.

Answer 3

Restart the PC and hold F8. You will see a list of menu. Select Safe Mode and press Enter.

Answer 4

Press F8 dont hold it, just press it a couple times. Some computers dell's especially will throw a keyboard failure back at you if you press it too many times or hold it.
You could also try last known good configuration if the problems are not severe.

Answer 6

sometime sholding it or pressing it once isn't enough (holding it may get a keyboard error, pressing once may not work completly either) Tap it many times (not too fast, or you could get a keyboard error and hae to start again) once you see the manufacturers logo.


Select your option and there ya go!

Good luck. :)

Answer 7

start the pc and tap the f8 key repeatedly as its coming up
