Restart your computer if it is powered on.b. Tap the F8 key after your computer initially powers on.c. Once you see the Advanced Boot Options menu you can stop tapping.d. Use the up/down arrow keys to highlight your selection.e. Select Safe Mode with Networking and press Enter.f. Logon to your computer using an account with Administrator privileges.Link you may refer to:http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Start-your-computer-in-safe-modeYou can also check the cbs log file by accessing taking the ownership of the log files.
