In 4 to 15 seconds it powers off and I can try again but if you set it to safe mode, I gotta ask why? I use the F8 key.
To unset the usual safe mode I edit BOOT.INI. That edit is on the web.
I set win7 to boot up in safe mode while dealing with a previous issue and now I am stuck in the login screen in safe mode and neither my keyboard or mouse work in this screen. I cant type my password or shutdown my pc, only through a hard shutdown. anyone have any ideas?
