Question I need some help

I tried to install a new video card driver in XP and when I restarted windows all I got was a black screen. I need to start in safe mode but I don't know how to do it? Can anybody tell me how to restart so I can see what i'm doing?Thanks.

Did you continously tap the F8 key while your Computer is booting? That's where to start for a Safe Mode.

That worked, I then had to reinstall my driver three times before it would work! Anyhow thanks for the help.
