Safe mode

Hi, I cant get my WinXp machine into safe mode. I press f8 ant it brings me to a boot selection like which hd or network to boot first then a menu comes up where it has all the options: safe mode, start normally etc .. When i use my arrow keys to scroll the options it wont move, just stays on boot normal so i cant boot into safe.

Thanx guys

Bet you have a USB keyboard. Look in the bios for a legacy usb option and turn it on. Or get a ps2 adpter/or keyboard.
