    Hi guys

    I'm having a problem booting to safe mode in windows 7 pro 64 bit. My AW boots into safe mode but before I can do anything it reboots on its own. This is the third install of windows that is having this problem. On the last install I tried booting into safe mode before loading any drivers and it worked fine. After loading all the drivers from the dell site it won't boot into safe mode.

    Anyone else having this issue?

    If so is there a fix? As this can be a problem in the future for me.

    Thanks
    AwHw
