How do I restart into safe mode, instead of normal restart on XP? |
|
I'm trying to do an anti-virus and spyware sweep and want to nail the self-replicators. I know it has to be done with Windows in Safe Mode, but I don't know how to get my computer into Safe Mode.

1. Reboot... hold down F8. |
|
Pressing the Delete key at reboot typically gets you into your bios. Pressing the Escape key typically gets you to a boot menu. http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2001052409420406?OpenDocument&ExpandSection=3&Src=sec_doc_namGood luck. Cletus
