1. Open XP's "Help and Support".
2. Type: SAFE MODE , and hit enter.
3. Click on the topic: "Start Windows in Safe Mode".

Hi,

Yes, you can press F8 to enter safe mode and select safe
mode with networking.
But why need to go to safe mode?
Just start your PC as normal, right click on desktop then
click property and click the setting tab, you can change
the resolution and color mode there.

YES! You must be fast and press F8 when you see "Starting Windows ......"
before the graphical XP starting screen.
