Re: Caan't get into Safe Mode

If you could enter the Safe mode then your problem could have been solved.But most unfortunately you can't.

Another option is to use the Recovery CD.Do you have that?

I am getting the following error msg when trying to start my Windows XP Media Center PC. I am unable to get into safe mode or to the system recovery console, can someone please advise as to how to get to the safe mode...pressing F8 is not doing anything at all and I do not have the OS CD to get into the recovery console. The OS was pre-installed on my PC when I bought it.

This started after I increased the page size in the control panel and rebooted.

I need to login in safe mode and undo the changes but can't get into safe mode at all. PLEASE HELP.

The error msg I am getting is:

Windows cannot create a temporary profile directory. This may be caused by insufficient security rights. If this problem persists, contact your network administrator.

DETAIL: Insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested sequence.

If I click on OK, I get the next screen:

"Windows cannot load the user's profile but has logged you on with the default profile for the system"

DETAIL: Insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service.
