http://restartwindowsinsafemode.com This brief video shows you how to restart Windows in Safe Mode using the "F8" key at boot-up.

While this video example uses Windows XP, the process is virtually the same for Vista and Windows 7 as well, only there will be some slight menu and visual differences.

You only have to press the F8 key once, but it must be pressed in between the diagnostics screen after power-up and the Windows splash screen. I would suggest that you press the F8 key about once a second until the boot options menu appears. Then you can use the arrow keys to select Safe Mode and press Enter.

You can expect your icons to appear bigger because of the decreased default screen resolution in Safe Mode. Also, not all services and drivers will be loaded, so don't expect all your programs and peripherals to work.

But at least now, there is less of a chance for program conflicts and running malware. So now you can begin cleaning up your PCs software
