Well i have windows 8 but its a ISO File downloaded from kat. it worked and everything right but i exited the activator accidently and that crashed my pc. im gonna have to reinstall everything on a USB 8G Bootable disk. idk if its gonna work. ..
Not currently. Sorry If you are considering reinstalling it as in Windows 7, then you can either go to factory settings through you recovery installer or you have to find a Clean Windows 7 installation ISO to burn on a DVD.

Why not, does F8 not work? Try shutting your PC down abruptly, sometimes it’ll take you to the option for the safe mode to choose from.

Thank you so much!….you are awesome!
This issue popped up after i tried to clone my HD b/c it was going bad. Now i can’t get pass the log in screen and F8 doesn’t get me into the safe mode screen. Running W7 with the OS on an SSD and everything else on the HD. I didn’t change anything, just ran the cloning software and now it won’t work. Also, hooked the HD (new and old) up to my other desk top and all files are showing up. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!!
And I truly can’t thank you enough lol, I hate dealing with computers ’cause I think they’re not really helping me if they keep having problems that I have to fix it’s kind of a nuisance.
Thanks a lot for your help.
But the only problem is I cannot find my pictures and videos. Now I’m freaking out please tell me that fixing the login problem did not make me lose my files.
I’m glad you manage it yourself. People like you allow me to further my research on common problems and find solutions for them for you to follow.

I just got done doing it and now I restart it and it did take a little while to load. And boo-ya! It works! I can’t thank you enough, i have not been able to fix this problem over a year and I didn’t want to pay some jerk to fix it and see my personal stuff! Thanks slot you’re fucking awesome!
Well done!!!!

Sir i have the same problem with thomas and i cant go to safe mode nor boot into windows CD…any solution…thx
PLEASE Help me the same thing happened to me!
Thank you man, worked for me
Advice would be to try all the other opens of booting into safe mode, after than get back into the post boot and enable boot logging. But it’ll give you insight on what’s wrong. You might wanna get a Windows installation disc to attempt to repair your Windows as this just might be a solution. After that, if you can manage to get to the CMD, you might be able to create a user account via CMD. You should probably YouTube that since I haven’t made a Tutorial on it. Then try logging into it.
