Safe Mode is a configuration on Windows that loads only basic, core drivers. Assuming that Windows is not beyond repair and that all hardware is functioning properly, Safe Mode is guaranteed to boot. For example, if a newly installed driver prevents the user from booting up in normal mode, Safe Mode offers a way to get back into the system so the user can roll back the driver.
To get into Safe Mode, the user simply needs to press F8 after the BIOS has given control to Windows, but before Windows has a chance to start the normal startup process; there is approximately a 0.5 to 2 second window of opportunity, depending on the version of Windows and the speed of the computer. In the menu that appears after pressing F8, the user can select Safe Mode from the list of boot options. In older versions of Windows, you may need to press F5, instead.
