How to boot in safe mode

Safe mode is a diagnostic mode that the operating system can start in,
with minimal configuration so that system errors can possibly be corrected.
In order to boot in safe mode please do the following:

1. Restart the computer

2. Press on the F8 key every few seconds as the system boots up until the screen
with the Safe Mode option appears.
(If Windows launches before you can choose a safe mode, restart the computer and try again.)

3. You should see a few options but use the arrow keys
to highlight Safe Mode and press the Enter key.

4. The system will now boot into Safe Mode.
(You may receive a prompt asking if you really want to boot into Safe Mode. Choose Yes.)
