How to boot to safe mode

This is a short but sweet tip that you will need to use one day. Sometimes when your computer will not boot you can try to boot in safe mode. Once I have done this you can try and restart. Most of the time it gets back to normal, however sometimes you need to find a deeper problem. Like recent software installations or a corrupt file.

How to boot to safe mode?

  1. Start your computer.
  2. While starting up press F8 key. (When its on the first boot screen.)
  3. If you miss the right time just restart the computer and try again.
  4. A few choices will appear on screen, then choose Safe Mode.
