Hello! How do you boot in safe mode on the Asus P5WDHDeluxe, (F8 doesn't work)? Thanks a lot! GigaByte 3D Aurora Asus P5WDHDeluxe Intel Core 2 Duo E6700 nVidia GeForce 7900 GTX Crashing in 3D games :

If you can't use the F8 key method follow the instructions for Windows XP under: "To use the System Configuration Utility method" at the link below. http://www.pchell.com/support/safem... Tufenuf

It might be that you aren't hitting it at the right time. Try Continually taping it during the boot. You can also try holding down the ctrl key, that sometimes works. Do yourself a favor BACKUP!

or tapping the Esc key on bootup, that works too. Hopefully my advice will help you...Please post back with your results....thanks

You can also but Safe Mode on Your Boot Menu, here's how>>>> THE LINE HERE IS WHAT I ADDED AND IS THE LAST LINE IN THE BOOT.INI (CHANGED IT IN NOTEPAD) ANY PROBLEMS JUST DELETE THIS WHOLE LINE HERE>>> multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Safe Mode" /fastdetect/safeboot:minimal /sos /bootlog <<< Just press winkey+pausebreak key then click on Advanced, then go down to startup and recovery Settings, then click on EDIT, then you will see boot.ini come up in Notepad and thats where i entered the last line to put Safe Mode in the boot menu! After doing this, right-click on My Computer, and choose Properties. On the Advanced tab, click the Settings button, which brings up the Startup and Recovery window. Now place a check mark in the option, Time to display list of Operating System. Click on Apply and then on OK. The list of options should now be displayed at startup.

LeBabouin, Here's a link to a small Free program "BootSafe" that makes it easy to get into SAFE mode. http://www.superadblocker.com/boots... Tufenuf

Also check if there's any function lock on the keyboard
