I noticed a few weeks ago that I cannot boot up in safe mode. I hit F8 and i tab to safe mode, then it asks what OS and I only have one choice of XP. When I hit return it brings me back into safe mode or windows. Only way it will boot up is if I select Windows. Any ideas?

I had a virus and it wouldn't let me even open my Malware or Computer Associates to scan for it. SO I was going to try safe mode and I couldn't. But I did reboot into windows then opened Malware before it got ahold of it and it cleaned it out. But It still scare me that when I need to boot in safe mode I won't be able to.
