Can't get into SAFE Mode

Friends,

I'm trying to boot Vista into SAFE mode and for some reason the F8 key
doesn't work. Is there another way to invoke it? Boot from the DVD media
and then....?

Take the DVD out and try it.

Hi Victek,

If you have a multimedia keyboard, then you may need to press the "F
Lock" key first before you can use the F8 key.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Phillips' instructions for checking SafeBoot in msconfig should work.
Once in Safe Mode, of course, you will then need to return to msconfig
to *un*check SafeBoot in order to return to Normal Mode.

What motherboard do you have? On my ASUS mobo I have to press F8 then F4 and
then F8 quickly which brings up the safe mode options screen.

Cheers.
