I need to acutally replace a file and need to start into safe mode. What is the way to go about it? I haven't had to go into safe mode on my xp machine as of yet.
Thanks!
Mac

Reboot your computer. Wait until it gets to second black page and start hitting the F8 key. You will get a menu, scroll to Safe Mode and hit enter.
