Larry, what brand of keyboard do you have, MS or Logitech?
Does your receiver have both usb and ps/2 plugs? If it does then be sure
to plug in both of these then try to access safe mode, it should work.

An additional comment to my last is that the reset button does not work
for me and I was punching all I could when it did come up with the safe
mode option. Guess what I could not get my keyboard to allow me to
choose the safe mode on the screen so the clock just clicked away and it
started normally.
Unfortunately I do not have a wired keyboard.

There is a point where my Logitech keyboard doesn't work in the windows
boot
process. I don't know why. It works on the bios screens but then isn't
functional until I get into windows. Plug in a real keyboard. Another way
would be to hit the reset after windows starts to boot. On the reboot it
will take you to a screen that lets you select safe mode and other options.

Subject: PCWorks: XP in Safe Mode?
I have been trying to start in safe mode and for some reason it just
goes to windows, like it or not. I go to startturnoff computerTurn off
then I turn the computer back on and when I see the first sign of light
on the screen I start hitting F8. It just goes to Windows. I am using a
Logitech wireless keyboard and I wonder if that makes a difference? It
has a F-Lock on it and I have tried it both ways, with the light out and
with the light on, no difference. I went to help on the computer and
their terminology is even different. They say Click Shut Down, well
there is no "shut down".
Thanks
