| | Access Safe Mode with F2 then F8 I have an ASUS Striker Extreme motherboard. I tried to get to Safe Mode with F8 but that just gets me to the boot menu. I have to use F2 and then go to F8 or wait until the Republic of Gamers logo is gone and the Vista logo is about to start to press F8. Is there a command to give in Vista while it is running normally to make it restart immediately in Safe Mode? Similiar to the command that is available in XP. |

| | Re: Access Safe Mode with F2 then F8 You can use the System Configuration utility (msconfig). On its Boot tab, check Safe Boot. Of course, this has to un-checked again to return things to normal. (You can access msconfig while in Safe Mode to un-check Safe Boot).

| | Re: Access Safe Mode with F2 then F8 With XP or Vista, you can't tell the OS to present the boot options menu until after POST. Your can set to go into safe mode directly from post if that is what you want.
