Question：Hi, I am trying to start my computer in Safe mode. I have Vista, however, when I restart my computer F8 is doing nothing. Nothing happens, it just goes to my log on.
HELP.
Answer 1：Are you tapping F8, or holding it?
Tap F8 at Startup/Power On, and from the list of startup selections, select Safe Mode by using UP Arrow Key to go there > then hit Enter.
Cheers.

Answer 2：Hi Mick
Thats what I did. I am having a few problems with Vista at the moment and this is just another one. Any ideas about what to do next other than throwing my computer out a window?
Answer 3：Does your keyboard have an F Lock key? It maybe that the F lock key is in the 'off' position in which case pressing F8 would 'effectively' be giving your PC the command to forward an email - well it does on my keyboard anyway.
