Answer 1

Many times in order to remove a piece of spyware or for troubleshooting and diagnostic purposes, you'll have to start Windows in Safe Mode. While in Safe Mode, only specific programs and files needed to run the operating system are loaded. Some functions, such as connecting to the Internet, will not be active in Safe Mode and a standard video driver will be loaded causing a washed out look and a possible change in resolution. However, because just the essential programs and files are loaded in Safe Mode, this allows us to remove some spyware, adware, viruses and such that cannot be removed in Normal Mode. Follow the instructions below to Start Safe Mode for your specific version of Windows.
Steps

1. Restart the Computer.
2. Just after the POST diagnostics and memory count, start pressing the F8 key.
3. On the Startup Menu, choose Safe Mode
4. Reboot your Computer.

1. Restart the computer.
2. Just after the POST diagnostics and memory count, start pressing the F8 key.

Answer 2

To get into Safe Mode: 1. Log out and reboot your machine. 2. When the machine starts the reboot sequence, press the F8 key repeatedly. 3. Select Safe Mode from the resulting menu. 4. When the login screen comes up, log in as Administrator. By default, Administrator has no password. 5. The machine will continue booting, but the Windows desktop will look different. You won't be able to see the Internet, for instance. 6. When you're finished, log out and reboot back into normal mode. Hope that helps.
