    ok heres the problem.. im on my old computer right now.. i downloaded a program on my other computer that makes your screen for your monitor stretch all the way across your screen since mine didnt.. and i restarted my computer and i type my password in and everything and i log on.. then 10 secs later my computer restarts.. and it just keeps doing that.. so i wanted to go into safemode to delete the program.. but i guess my F keys dont work? they never work in these games i play either.. it says F1234 etc. on the front SIDE of the key.. and on the top it says stuff like "Help, New, Open, Save, Replace, Spell" and that stuff.... i pressed all the F keys and nothing happened at startup.. pressing delete just goes to CMOS.. is there another way i can get into safemode? b/c im assuming its the program b/c when i log on the program pops up then the computer restarts.. i dunno what to do :(.. help!

    Press F8 and if that doesn't work try Ctrl + F8.
    Not certain that will help but that is what I would do.

    Check this website for getting into safe mode:

    I think the specialty hot keys are usually managed by Windows or a program loaded by Windows, WAY after the BIOS loads basic keyboard drivers so the Help, New, Open, Save, Replace, Spell stuff shouldn't come into play yet.

    Cheers,
