The F8 key on my keyboard does not take me into safe mode.
According
to the "Re-set passwords" help, the "F8 key" is stage 1 of
logging in
as administrator.

Is there another way of getting into safe mode?

I am the soler user of a new Sony Vaio pre-programmed with XP

want to try this free program.
