    how do i get into safe mode with XP

    i fucked some shit up trying to download some crack.
    Either way internet explorer is fucked up. And for some reason, everytime i try to install IE 7, the pc shuts down. Firefox works easily enough. But how do i get into safe mode

    F8 is the options menu. u then have to select "safe mode"

    F5 goes directly to safe mode w/o asking you.

    I still like F8 since you can choose if you want a command prompt or networking while in Safe Mode. Also, 'last known good settings' works well too
