To boot to safe mode, hit F8 when the windows splash screen comes up.

If you don't care about what's on it and have a recovery CD, you can put the CD in and try F12 when the Dell screen comes up, then select the CD as what you want to boot from... then you can simply reinstall Windows.
Or else mikey's advice. Or bring your laptop to the bash and I'll install a better OS and you won't have to worry about this sort of thing in the future. |

Use MSCONFIG to force the startup menu to load on boot.
Here is a lengthy explanation how... http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tuto...utorial61.html Tada... easy way to get to SAFE MODE. (You can also check msconfig to see what malware might be loading and remove it... but it's FAR better to properly remove with the tools described earlier) |

I had a virus the other day that immediately shut down my antivirus or task manager when I tried to open them. I rebooted in safe mode and did a system restore to 4 or 5 days previous and my computer was fine afterwards.
