How do i start my Compaq computer in safe mode?
For Windows XP





If the computer is running it is best to shut down Windows and then turn off the power.





Begin by first clicking on the Start Button and then click on Turn Off Computer.





Now click on the Turn Off red colored icon to shut down your computer system.





It is best to wait between 15 to 30 seconds before you turn your system back on.





Turn on your computer and start tapping the F8 key on your keyboard.





Some Computers may display a keyboard error message if you begin tapping F8 too quickly.





Restart your computer again and begin tapping the F8 key a brief second or two later.





When the Windows Advanced Options Menu appears, Choose the Safe Mode option and hit Enter.





Windows will now boot your computer up in Safe Mode.
