startup menu

[dmc]

I have a computer that seems to have the
startup menu(safe mode)etc disabled.How
can I re-enable that menu??
When the computer boots F8 doesn't work.
This pc is runnning Windows '98

Sometimes it is VERY difficult to push the F8 key at the right time to get the options screen (which includes Safe Mode).......If you can boot to regular Windows 95/98 then you have the screen available.......IT'S JUST HARD TO TIME THE PUSHING OF F8 JUST RIGHT http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/biggrin.gif.........try, try again...keep pushing F8 repeatedly as soon as ram count is over with NO floppy in machine (duh) http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

Randy's right about the timing of hitting down that key. But I would also try holding down the "CRTL" key instead of F8 during bootup.

Good Luck http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/smile.gif
