HI,
I have a dell 1520 laptop with windows 7 installed.My windows doesn't load and It's remain in log in and does not go inside.I restarted my computer and press F8 and F5 many times but it doesn't show me safe mod screen and It's go directly to windows.How can I go to safe mod?
Thanks
The laptop may have special keys, but the trick is to tap the F8 key after the initial boot screen and before Window starts.
Try this:
Safe Mode
You may need to do startup repair 3 to 4 times.
Startup Repair
System Repair Disc - Create
System Recovery Options
Repair Install

Thanks all for your help.But I can't go to safe mod because I don't know what key I should press .I have tried F8 ,F5 and many others key but the problem still exist.
Please help me,What key I should press?
By the way,I have start up problem with 7.
Thanks
Are you tapping F8 all the way through the post?
Keep trying.
hno2005,
normally F8 should work. Keep it pressed for a while.
If nothing else works, while in windows, hold down your power button till your computer shuts down. Then power on the computer, it'll show a black screen saying your computer did not shut down properly and give you several boot options. Choose safe mode there.
