I need to access Safe Mode. OS -XP Home Edition Ver.2002 with SP1 included, (updated to SP3).
I have an issue [security?] when trying to open folders/shortcuts on desktop, "Access Denied" pops up!!
Pressing F8 won't start Safe Mode. I believe I need to "Take Ownership" in Safe Mode. (I have printed out the steps in how to do so.)
All steps can be executed successfully, but when enter 'Safe Mode' is selected, a black screen loads with a full page of:-
"multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\windows\system32\drivers\'~'
and just sits there, forever!!
The computer starts and runs OK in normal start.
Any suggestions??
