Windows XP Using the F8 Method
Restart your computer. When the machine first starts again it will generally list some equipment that is installed in your machine, amount of memory, hard drives installed etc. At this point you should gently tap the F8 key repeatedly until you are presented with a Windows XP Advanced Options menu. Select the option for Safe Mode using the arrow keys. Then press enter on your keyboard to boot into Safe Mode. Do whatever tasks you require and when you are done reboot to boot back into normal mode.

To: [email protected] Date: Tuesday, January 6, 2009, 8:23 AM Hi everyone. I am really hoping someone can help me. MY COMPUTER IS SICK and I don't know a thing about them. I haven't downloaded anything recently (that I know of) but I can't get it to start up. When I turn it on it comes on with the black screen the states "window's wasn't shut down properly blah blah blah". Then gives you the options to restart in safe mode, normal, last configuration, etc. Well when I try it just goes back to the same screen. I have way too many things on there that aren't backed up that I can't afford to lose by reinstalling the CD. I just recently returned to school and have 2 kids. I can't afford to take it anywhere. Esp since I know they will overcharge me. PLEASE if you can help me .CALL ME. I'm sending this from the college I attend and won't be back here again today. Leave me a message if you get my voicemail. I will call you back. Thanks in advance 386-631-5496 [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ If you have any questions or problems with any aspect of this site, please feel free to contact me directly [email protected] Please do not post personal issues directly to the group.
