Hello Al, To get into Windows 98 / ME safe mode, as the computer is booting you press and hold your "F8 key" on the top of your keyboard or press and hold the left or right "Ctrl" key. If done properly you should get into the "Windows 98 / ME Startup Menu". In this menu choose option 3 by pressing the 3 key and press enter.

For those in the know, what's the right way to get to 'safe mode' using WinME? Boot disk offers '..with CD-ROM support, ...without CD-ROM support, minimal boot...' Start / Shutdown offers 'Shut down, Restart, Stand by'. ? TIA Al Thompson PCSOFT's List Owner's: Bob Wright<[log in to unmask]> Drew Dunn<[log in to unmask]>
