Re: Safe Mode

Safe mode requires a keyboard press. You must be using a USB keyboard to
have this problem. You can go into the computer bios (then again, maybe not
as this also requires a keyboard entry to do so) and make certain that any
entries for legacy USB devices are set to allow. You may need an older PS/2
keyboard to do this initially.

You can also go into msconfig (Start | search msconfig, press enter when
highlighted), use the boot tab, and set the computer to safe boot. When you
are done, don't forget to change this setting back to normal boot.
