    xp to w10 are not the same, w10 is way different, I can not guess your OS
    most folk's on old PC upgraded 3 times by now,for security reasons did you?
    we can not guess the history of any PC on earth, not ever, ask a shop to fix it
    or boot (w10) 3 times and it goes to repair mode automatically.
    on older PCs F8 is safemode for decades.

HI,

Follow this steps:

  1. Restart your computer.
  2. When the machine first starts again it will generally list some equipment that is installed in your machine, amount of memory, hard drives installed etc. At this point you should gently tap the F8 key repeatedly until you are presented with a Windows XP Advanced Options menu.
  3. Select the option for Safe Mode using the arrow keys.
  4. Then press enter on your keyboard to boot into Safe Mode.
  5. Do whatever tasks you require and when you are done reboot to boot back into normal mode.
I Hope it helped.

    Using the System Configuration Tool Method:



    Note: If you are having trouble
    entering Safe Mode via the F8 method, you should not use this method to force
    it to startup into safe mode.


    Step 1: Close all programs so that you have nothing
    open and are at the desktop.

    Step 2: Click on the Start button then click
    on Run.

    Step 3: In the Run field type msconfig.
    Step 4: Press the OK button and the System
    Configuration Utility will start up.

    Step 5: Click on the tab labeled "BOOT.INI".
    Step 6: Put a checkmark in the checkbox labeled
    "/SAFEBOOT". Then press
    the OK button.

    Step 7: Press the Restart button and let the
    computer reboot. It will now boot up into Safe Mode.

    Step 8: When the computer boots up do what
    diagnostic or troubleshooting tasks that you need to do.

    Step 9. When are finished with your tasks,
    complete steps 1-7 again, but in Step 6 this time uncheck the checkbox labeled
    "/SAFEBOOT". Then click on the General tab and set it for Normal
    startup.

    Step 10: Reboot the computer back into normal
    mode.

HOW can desktop be rebooted& I don't know which reboot option to choice

There are a few reboot options. The first reboot is to start a pc normally. The second is Safe mode. Another is Safe mode with Networking. and another is Safe mode with command prompt. Use Safe Mode to do minor adjustments or repairs, or virus scans while connected with the Internet with Networking option. DO not use Safe mode with command prompt unless you know what you are doing!

Why does my nextbook keep asking me if I want to put it in safe mode?

The device went into safe mode because the app that you downloaded was not a safe application. The device does this so that the application cannot cause more problems to your device. Even though the app was downloaded from the app store it was not deemed safe by your device. Here are some tips that will help you to get your device out of safe mode: -Ensure that if you have a case on your device that you take it off being that the case may be holding the volume button causing you to boot into safe mode -Try turning the device off then back on to get out of safe mode -Power off your device, then reboot by holding the power button + volume up key, then in the boot menu select reboot device -This is sometimes caused by the users accidentally tapping safe mode when cutting the device on so simply restart your device Most users have success by simply restarting the device in order to be able to get out of safe mode. Do your best to restart or reboot your device before you have to perform a hard reset to get the app off of your device to no longer go into safe mode In order to hard reset -Power off device -Hold down volume up + power -Release at the boot menu -Use the volume keys to highlight factory reset -Press the power button to select factory reset -After this the device will begin to reset itself -After it resets itself use the volume keys to highlight reboot device -press the power button to have your device rebooted in its factory settings

Start up

SAFE MODE OPTIONS
1. Press the System or Menu Button in the lower left corner and navigate to Manage apps.

2. Find the most recent app you installed.

3. Force close it.

4. Disable it if possible.

5. Remove this app.

6. Reboot the boot to see if the Safe mode is gone.


If the Safe mode label is still present, the article suggests that it may be necessary to press several keys to achieve the removal of the Safe mode label and its effect of suspending the other apps. In essence, we now move to the second discussion of entry into Safe mode:


1. Safe mode can be entered by pressing buttons at start-up. .

2. It is not known exactly which buttons were pressed but it mostly likely was the System and Home (center big button) and maybe even the Escape/Back button on the right.

3. The right combination of buttons, which supposedly are the same to enter Safe Mode, are the same to exit Safe Mode.

4. If you are certain you entered Safe Mode by accident - meaning you know you did not recently or just now installed an app that force closed Android, then you just have to find the combo to exit it.

5. Try pressing the volume buttons might clear the Safe Mode on the first reboot after initial entry into Safe Mode.

6. If the Safe Mode label disappears after pressing the volume buttons, your phone is okay.

7. If the label is still present, try rebooting the phone again.

Safe mode in Android what to do if you see that label on your screen

In order to get out of safe mode, just reboot the computer. It will usually boot up in normal mode after reboot. If it continues to reboot into safe mode, then you might have a hardware problem or software problem.

Emachine w3107 reboots when windows xp loads

These kinds of issues are most often related to driver conflicts. First thing you need to do is reboot your PC while holding F8, until you receive the menu about booting in to Safe Mode. Try booting in to Safe Mode.

If you can get in to Safe Mode, disable any new devices you have recently installed, reboot again, this time letting it try to boot all the way to Windows.

If it reboots again, go back in to Safe Mode and disable/uninstall something else.

Basically, it is a process of elimination. Safe Mode loads a very minimal set of system drivers, so if you can boot in to Safe Mode but not in to full Windows, the problem is one (or more...) of the drivers that load in Windows but don't load in Safe Mode.

Undoing the "safe mode"

Yes, you should be able to reboot and it should automatically go back into regular mode.

If it doesn't, upon the next reboot tap the F8 key after your computer starts. A menu should appear with safe mode and start windows normally. Select the normal option. If a "boot menu" appears, select the hard drive, press enter then immediately hit the F8 key again for that menu although it should just reboot right into regular mode.
