re: Can't start in safe mode Monday, February 2, 2009 at 6:41 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Peter (243 messages posted) I waited several minutes , perhaps a quarter to half an hour. The HDD light was showing activity. In fact it showed the screen full of files three times. clearing in between and then reloading before sticking. I always used to be able to start in Safe mode but haven't tried since installing SP3.
