How do start a computer in safe mode?

How do you start your computer in safe mode? And to save a future questions. How do you switch it back to normal start up?

How do start a computer in safe mode?
Press F8 repeatedly at startup. You will be given the option to boot into Safe Mode. You only have to restart your computer to boot normally.
Reply:Press F5 or F8 during start up, and choose "Safe Mode." To switch to normal start up, press F5 or F8 during start up, and choose "Normal Start Up" or something like that, or don't do anything, and the system will boot normally.
Reply:Press F8 intermittently when you first start your computer. It will give you a menu, and Safe Mode is one of them. After you reboot, it won't ask you again, assuming you no longer have a problem that forces it into safe mode.


good luck
Reply:when you boot up you should see setting and boot options and such on the screen. Just press the right key.
Reply:To get into Safe Mode, reboot and then either hold down or tap the F8 key repeatedly while the computer is starting up. To run SFC, close all applications such as Office, Messenger, Email, etc, and go to:





- Start


- Run


- Type in sfc /scannow (include the space before the " / ")





If you have the Vista operating system, the steps are a bit different due to the UAC. See the link below.

Don't surf, play games or do anything while SFC runs. After it is completed, reboot your computer.
