My mum is having a problem with her computer, and it's so old it's got windows 2000 on it. I'm on the phone to her now, how do I start in safe mode?

press F8 after the POST screen, but before windows loads.
(While I do not know if this is true for windows 2000, it is for 98, XP and Vista. So 2000 probably as well)

Thanks, that worked.

I got her to press all the F buttons as I couldn't remember, but none of them worked, so I thought it was something different. Maybe she mis-timed it or something.
