osokdfgr 0 Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 Hello, I am posting from my mom's PC, I would be on mine, but, when I try to start it up it crashes and restarts just a few seconds later, barely enouh time to login! ( to my PC) I had downloaded and installed the gamejackle trial, and restarted my PC because thats what it said to do after installing (all installers do) thats when my troubles started. It must have been GJ because thats the last thing i did....how can I get my PC in safe mode? do I need the XP disc? If so it could be a long wait... :'( we are moving and all the PC stuff is kinda packed... Any and all help apriciated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NYR_32 6 Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 To use the F8 method to boot into safe mode. Use this method only if Windows XP is the only operating system installed on your computer. 1. Start Windows, or if it is running, shut Windows down, and then turn off the computer. 2. Restart the computer. The computer begins processing a set of instructions known as the Basic Input/Output System (BIOS). What is displayed depends on the BIOS manufacturer. Some computers display a progress bar that refers to the word BIOS, while others may not display any indication that this process is happening. 3. As soon as the BIOS has finished loading, begin tapping the F8 key on your keyboard. Continue to do so until the Windows Advanced Options menu appears. If you begin tapping the F8 key too soon, some computers display a "keyboard error" message. To resolve this, restart the computer and try again. 4. Using the arrow keys on the keyboard, scroll to and select the Safe mode menu item, and then press Enter. Thanks to google. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
