Can't get into safe mode:(

For some reason unknown I can't get into safe mode with F8. I get this windows that gives me a choice of what to boot up instead. Is there any other way to get into safe mode?? What is causing this?

Thanks

sounds like you dual booting, that tell me that your not hitting the f8 key fast enough, you got to be quick or you will miss itand it will go on to the boot menu.

Try this. When you see the splash screen ( The Asus logo) on boot up, start tapping the F8. Keep doing it until the boot menu comes up. You may hear the board beep at you but that's ok, just a signal that it recognizes the F8 command.
