my first experience with F keys, i try all the F buttons and reboot many times just to boot into safemode.

(i forgot which number since they have 12)

LOL.

F8 brings up my motherboards boot options. I always seem to end up in the wrong menu. If I want safe mode I end up at the bios boot options menu and if I want to boot from a USB drive I end up at the windows safe mode, etc menu.

Maybe I'll have better luck with the space bar, thanks for the heads up. :)

Glad you like it. I had seen a reference to this once before but had ignored it then. Am glad that I followed up this time. As for me, Spacebar it is!
