turn off your computer, that after turning it on, hold F8 before Windows starts loading. You'll be given a list of startup options, and you can choose safe mode there.

To use a Safe Boot / Safe Mode option
To use a Safe Boot option, follow these steps.
Restart your computer, and when the Boot menu appears, press F8.
When the Windows Advanced Options menu appears, select an option, and then press ENTER.
When the Boot menu appears again, with the words "Safe Mode" displayed in red at the bottom, select the installation you want to start, and then press ENTER.
Some people have problems getting into safe mode by this method for whatever reason. Here's a harder, alternative method.
1. Click Start
2. Click Run
3. Type msconfig in the textbox and press ENTER
4. Click Boot.ini tab
5. Click /Safeboot option
6. Click OK and reboot
You will reboot back into safe mode. Once you are finished, reload msconfig and do the following to get back into regular mode:
1. Load msconfig (as above)
2. Click General tab
3. Click Normal Startup
4. Click OK and reboot

For Windows 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.

When you restart your computer and you see the black screen before Windows starts, keep pressing the F8 button at the top of your keyboard. You will then see a menu and one of the options is to start in Safe Mode.
