HP and F8
I have googled this and NOTHING is relevant. Hopefully someone here has had this issue. My mom has that dreaded Anti-Virus Live crap on her HP Vectra 420 (older than dirt...but runs good). When I tap F8 to boot into Safe Mode so I can run MBAM, I get "Input Not Supported". Is there anyway around this??????She is running XP Pro. Thanks!

My guess is that the F8 function been disable in the BIOS, you may try the setting there.

Boot it in normal mode, run msconfig, on the boot.ini tab, choose /safeboot and check network. This will restart it in safe mode with networking.

Be sure to update and run your anti-malware software in Safe Mode. If that does not rid her computer of the nasties then you may have to slave her C: drive to another computer. Run that computer in Safe Mode with the anti-malware software already updated. I had to do this when some malware would not give me access to anti-malware software updates.
