How to Boot Into Safe Mode

To Boot into safe mode here is what you have to do.  Feel free to print these directions below.

1.  Shut off your computer

2.  Turn on your computer and start pressing the F8 key every second.  You should see a similar screen to the below image. If Windows Starts to load that means you missed it and will have to try again.

 

You will see several options.  The option you want is Safe Mode or Safe Mode with Networking

Safe Mode: Just starts the basic Windows OS with out many drivers and other support options

Safe Mode with Networking: Same as above but the “with Networking” option will allow you to go online and download programs. XP users may need to still turn on their wireless device in the Networking options to connect.
