I have a Sony VIAO and I tried restarting my computer in safe mode when i was rebooting by continuously pushing the F8 button continuously and also Shift F8 at the same time, but nothing, is there another way I can reboot in safe mode since these have not worked?

There is a 2 second period, right before the Windows screen appears where the F8 has to be pressed. If you are not getting in, you are missing the 2 second period. If Windows begins to boot, shut down and try again. But that is the only way to get into Safe Mode.

Hit F8 after you POST is finished. The little bar when you first turn your computer on, before Windows starts loading.

when you restart it, they usually tell you on the first screen but you have to be quick!
if that works then there should be simple menus to select safe mode
i have a different computer and it is either F1 or F2
Try that
