Start/help and search for "Safe Mode" will tell you.

It amounts to "Press f8 when you read 'Starting Windows 95 ...'" and choosing for Safe Mode. There is window of opportunity of about 2 seconds, so it's best a tap a few times with 1 second in between.

But please tell what you would want to do on your mothers computer in safe mode.
