re: Question about 'Speed up the Start Menu' Monday, January 19, 2004 at 10:56 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Ricer46 (22838 messages posted) Getting into the BIOS has nothing to do with the OS, it's a matter of getting the timing right. It's easiest to just start hitting the button repeatedly until something happens. Getting into Safe Mode is a different matter. Again you should hit F8 repeatedly, but it's common for people not to be able to get into Safe Mode with XP using the F8 key. If you can't then you're somewhat in trouble. You can try to do a repair re-installation: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;315341 but that will mean booting from your CDROM, and you'll probably have to get into the BIOS to do that.
