How to Enter into windows 98 safe mode

Hi,

I have a windows 98 system. I am trying to boot with safe mode. But i could not able to.
I am trying holding control key at the boot time. But i could not able to see any menu (to
select the boot mode).
Any help?

Thanks

Try F8 instead.
If that does not work hit the F5 key continuously when the system boots.
F5 takes you directly to safe mode.

Thanks for the info. I will try all the options.I have one more query.
 How to detect the OS mode after booting.
Is there any command to know whether we are in safe/normal mode?
If you're in Safe Mode, you only have 16 color video, and it says "Safe Mode" in all 4 corners of the screen.
