Angry Safe Mode & F8
If I press F8 at start up I get a page that should allow me to get into safe mode, it tells me to use the up & down arrows to make my selection but my keyboard will not work could this be because I have a USB keyboard?. :confused: :confused:

I have found the answer, I had to go into the Bios and enable USB support for legacy devices.
