Safe Mode

I can't seem to boot into Safe Mode. I press and hold the F8 key and all I get is a blue window asking me which device I'd like to boot from. (?)

Just tap on the F8 key every 1/2 second until you get the boot window, don't hold it down, that should get you there.

Thanks. Yeah it turned out I was tapping too soon. Seems I have to wait just before XP is about to load.
