| | Vista HP - Normal Boot OK, Can't access Safe Mode This is a weird one. The machine, running VHP, boots OK normally apart from an issue with Avira AntiVir Personal - Free, which my customer installed. This tyhrows up an error and the way to resolve it is to to manually uninstall while in Safe Mode. When trying to access Safe Mode, I get the scrolling list of files, then the screen goes black, I get the mouse pointer and the "egg timer" that is not an "egg timer" for a couple of seconds and then the machine reboots, and will reboot normally. How can I fix this weird one? |

| Vista x64 Ultimate SP2, Windows 7 Ultimate x64 | Re: Vista HP - Normal Boot OK, Can't access Safe Mode Hello Pud, I'm sure that you have probably already did this, but you may have a "F-Lock" or "Function Lock" key that needs to be pressed first then F8 to enter the Advanced Boot Options screen. Hope this helps, Shawn  Quote: Originally Posted by Pud  This is a weird one.
