So if you don't get safe mode from F8, try CTRL.

On windows 7, computer turned straight off as no option but to turn off so will get the menu asking how I want to go in first, will give it a try a little later.

Turn computer off normally, or just pull the socket out.

Plug back in, and turn on. As soon as you turn it ON, (not OFF), hold down F8 until a menu option appears, with safe mode. Just don't let go of F8 until the menu.

You can only enter safe mode when turning on, not when turning off.
