Reply: (edit)Start the computer and hold down the Ctrl key until you see a boot menu.
Select Start in Safe-Mode. Or,
Select F8 when you see Verifying DMI Pool Data on the screen. Or,
If you are currently in Windows go to Start and Run. Type msconfig and select OK.
Select the Advanced Tab.
Place a tick next to Enable StartUp Menu.
Select OK then Apply.
You will be prompted to restart the computer.
You will now receive the boot option menu. Good Day!

Reply: (edit)When I was on W95 I had to hit F8 at just the right time, or tap away at it in the hope that it happened to hit the mark. It didn't always work. I was only too pleased when MS added the Ctrl key facility on W98. You just hold it down when booting, as mesich said, and it works every time.
