I have installed XP SP2 on my pc but after installing, it seems I can't get into safe mode anymore. Does anyone encountered the same problem? Any idea how to fix this without reinstalling windows xp?

thanks for the reply,
no sp2 was already in,everything works ok,and at startup i tap f8 continuosly whilst booting but only to get xp up,I am thinking it could be the keyboard as some things on it dont work,although ive gone thro the disc to re-install a time or two.
thanks frank derby uk.
