    I have a Toshiba Satellite A105 and I just installed a new anti-virus as soon as I did it just turns the screen black. I want to boot into safe mode and uninstall or restore to an earlier date but it seems I have tried every key to get it to go into safe mode but none have worked, does anybody know for sure which key I use when trying to get into safe mode??

    Thanks Jeff
