Just start tapping f8 just as soon as you push the start button. Should work

Hi Bobcat,

If F8 won't work ... you can try using System Configuration Utility - Link

The only really secure computer is unplugged. Truer words were never spoken

A good tweak is to install the Recovery Console (http://support.microsoft.com/default...NoWebContent=1). You get to choose between Normal, Recovery Console, and the Safe Mode boot options.
