Press the [b]F8 Key[/b] after the Post Screen appears and hold the key down till either the Speaker starts going crazy or the Screen that allows you to chose the different ways of Booting Windows appears.

One possible draw back here is if you have a USB Keyboard it may not function as USB Drivers are not loaded till the OS has started. If that is the case you need to try a PS2 Keyboard to get into Safe Mode.

You said: "I have tried many edition of win XP but in vain".

Just what is it that you are trying to do? Are you trying to install Windows on a clean drive? Are you trying to clean up a problem? If so, what is the problem?

You are going to have to give us more information and stop being so evasive. Maybe you do not understand English too good, and that is ok. But we need to have you provide answers to our questions before we can help you. We can not SEE what you are looking at.

Do your best to tell us what is wrong with the PC that makes you think you need to try to get into Safe Mode and HOW you are trying.

So if you could answer these questions I'll see what I can do to help you

[i]I know[/i]

What do you know? As the more that you post here the more confusing it gets.

[i]can I deal with safe mode.[/i]

Deal with Safe Mode Why? All you asked for was how to enter Safe Mode so how is dealing with Safe Mode anything to do with what you originally asked to do?

[i]But it is first time what happen.[/i]

Not sure at all what this means but I just initially put it down to English being your Second or lower Language so I must have made another mistake so what does this mean? And what are you referring to by First Time?

[i]I have tried many edition of win XP but in vain[/i]

Now I'm completely lost as you asked how to get into Safe Mode so what is using many different versions of XP to do with anything? What exactly are you trying to do here?

I'm not the slightest bit worried about Bad English just if you can give some idea as to what you are trying to achieve here and on what. I'll do my best to help you but as things currently stand it's not possible.

Thanks

We are not phychic. You need to provide more information.

What operating system and version?

What are you doing to attempt to get into safe mode?

What error do you get when attempting to start Windows normally?

"We are not phychic. You need to provide more information."

What operating system and version? "windows XP pro sp3"
What are you doing to attempt to get into safe mode? "nothing"
What error do you get when attempting to start Windows normally? "nothing"
What happened before this started doing what it is doing now? "nothing"
Did you catch a virus? "nothing"

If you are doing nothing in an attempt to get into Safe Mode, it is no wonder that you can't access Safe Mode.

People ask for more information because they need it to help you. You do yourself no favors by not providing answers to the questions they ask.

Installing a beta version of anything MS is a huge mistake unless you are a real expert. I am of the understanding that SP3 for XP is still in beta.

is to ONLY put it on systems where nothing else has worked to fix a problem, and your about to give up and reload anyways.

anyone that would run bata in a business environment deserves to be unemployed.

Well mine at least as I make a lot of money cleaning up and removing Beta Product from some Business Computers.

Normally the Owners Son who has [b]"Helped Me"[/b] and installed all this new M$ nonworking junk. I had so much fun removing the Beta Version of Office 2007 recently and then reinstalling Office 2003 only to be told that they wanted to access their new documents with 2003. :D

Didn't matter that I had already explained that once I have moved back to their Licensed Software they would be unable to access their newly Crated Documents so when the message finally dawned I was asked in a very demanding manner why I had installed the Beta Version of 2007? I just said I didn't and would never use any Beta or Trial Software in Business but the wife's Son in this case was to one to speak to. :D

For some reason she wasn't happy. :0

Finally I got one back on the little sod who fitted 3 SCSI HDD's to a server then trashed not only the OS but the Image of the OS as well. Naturally it was my fault that the Backup Boot Drive was corrupt even though I hadn't been there in ages and I must have fitted those extra drives. I just said something about making a mistake and as it was my fault I wouldn't charge them for the work but I would remove the 3 X +1K Drives. At that point the son fessed up but it was still my fault that I allowed him to mess up the server. :^0

I suggested a Machine Gun to prevent him next time. Something about if they shot him now several million times and made absolutely sure that he was not only dead but in a lot of very little pieces I could them Guarantee that he would never interfere with the Server again. :)
