Hello,
Windows XP, crashed, starts to screen to start in safe mode but than arrow keys don't work. Trys to start normally, flashes blue screen and starts over again. How do I start in safe mode?
 



Reinstall your OS from Windows CD

I can get to bios & keyboard works but in boot menu & screen to start normally or safe start, keyboard doesn't work. That's all I can get to. Won't boot from CD in startup either.

I'll first quote my upstairs neighbour:
"Have to try boot with another KB."

Besides that:

If you only have keybord access via bios, then:
Reset bios to defaults.
Change relaed setting you find in bios on keyboard and usb devices.

(An odd thing if you want to try:
I dunno if you have desktop, laptop, but if you have a laptop then try remoing the battery, and only run on cable.
I know it sounds strange but I've had to deal with 3 similar cases, where the mouse and keyboard don't work until I got out the batery. And I let it run only on cable in which cases the mouse and keyboard would work fine... try this if you have a laptop, even if it sounds weird...)
