Boot to Safe Mode:
Do this by rebooting and gently tapping Ctrl immediately following the white text on black POST screen. If that doesn't take you to Safe Mode (it should) then repeat but instead of tapping Ctrl instead tap F8. If you are still unable to enter Safe Mode boot Win Me normally then use MSConfig (Start, Run and enter MSConfig in the box and click OK), open the General tab and then click Advanced and you will find there the option "Enable Startup Menu". Check this, OK out, close MSConfig and reboot. You should now be presented with a boot menu from which you can now choose to boot to Safe Mode. -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP Els wrote: I have been having problems with uninstalling programs so I would like to start my computer insafe mode.
