Hi Robb,
Let's tackle Safe Mode first.
1. Restart your computer and start pressing the F8 key on your keyboard. On a computer that is configured for booting to
multiple operating systems, you can press the F8 key when you the Boot Menu appears.
2. Select an option when the Windows Advanced Options menu appears, and then press ENTER.
3. When the Boot menu appears again, and the words "Safe Mode" appear in blue at the bottom, select the installation that you
want to start, and then press ENTER.
Please let me know which step fails, or what you do exactly and what reaction you get. Thanks!
