Re: Booting into Safe Mode
Do you have a USB keyboard? If so, make sure Legacy USB is turned ON in your
BIOS. Also, believe it or not, you need to plug they USB keyboard into one
of the ports on the back, sometimes. Weird, I know.
If you're using a PS2 keyboard...well, I don't have a clue why F8 is not
working.

I have Windows XP Pro. I used to be able to boot into Safe Mode by tapping
the F5 key while my computer boots until the option becomes available as
to
how I want to proceed. This option is no longer available. I tried
tapping
the F8 key also, but with no luck either. The only way I can now go into
Safe Mode is by going into msconfig and selecting it there. Why can I no
longer get into Safe Mode by pressing the F5 or F8 keys and what setting
can
I change so that tapping the F5 or F8 key will again start my computer in
Safe Mode?
