« on: September 30, 2015, 03:03:31 pm »
Here is a quick and simple tutorial on booting your Windows XP, Visa, 7, 8, 8.1 or 10 PC into Safe Mode. Safe mode disables all third-party advertisements on a PC.  :)

Starting Your PC in Safe Mode for Windows XP, Vista, 7 systems:

1. Remove any external devices connected to your computer, such as USB flash drives, Memory Sticks, CD or DVD disks that may be bootable.
2. Choose one of these two variants to use:

– For PCs with a single operating system: Press “F8” repeatedly after the first boot screen shows up during the restart of your computer. In case the Windows logo appears on the screen, you have to repeat the same task again.

– For PCs with multiple operating systems: Тhe arrow keys will help you select the operating system you prefer to start in Safe Mode. Press “F8” just as described for a single operating system.

3. As the “Advanced Boot Options” screen appears, select the Safe Mode option you want using the arrow keys. As you make your selection, press “Enter“.

4. Log on to your computer using your administrator account

While your computer is in Safe Mode, the words “Safe Mode” will appear in all four corners of your screen.
