I tried to boot from safe mode using the instructions above, but now my computer won’t even turn on. It tries to start, and then goes to the screen that you would get if you pressed f8, giving you the choices to boot from safe mode, or start normally, etc. I have tried selecting every option, and it just restarts and takes me to the same screen, without starting the computer. help!

had no issues forcing Windows XP to boot in SAFE MODE with the instructions above. The only issue I have is that now instead of going into Safe Mode it continually reboots system trying to boot into XP normally. Do you have any idea how to stop this and get it to boot into Safe Mode?

If your computer wont boot up in a safe mode by pressing F8 – try Esc button – while is booting before Windows screen.

This failed for me.

It caused only a blank screen?

It fails to enter Safe Mode and I’m unable to access task manager in anyway.

Any solutions to exit out of this screen, or return it to normal?
