Pavilion p6285l - how to start Safe Mode (F8) ?

‎11-26-2009 03:42 AM

Pavilion p6285l desktop - how to boot in "safe mode" (F8 on most pc's) ?

Pushing F8 on startup many times, but no response. No "manual" in the box either.

F1 to F12 -- what they do on a HP desktop???

 

Want to run some virus tests in safe mode, since this 1 week old dekstop is already very slow.

IE8 and Windows 7, 32 bit  ("dont respond" and hang 30-60+ seconds). Speedtests around the globe show ok, so might be virus.
