Windows 2003 R2 Applying Computer Settings.

Windows 2003 R2 Applying Computer Settings.

I have windows server 2003 R2, when I reboot the server and keep pressing either F2 or Del or F5 buttons toi get to SAFE MODE, but it never happens.
There is no message that says Press such and shuch button to access the Safe Mode.

The server comes up to the message "Apply Computer Settings" and stays there for ever.
I have rebooted the computer many times, but didn't help.


the servers was working fine. I checked if any GPO affecting it but there is none.




Any idea?



Thanks

F8 did not work either.

I am trying to use computer management remotely. Hopefully I can read the system log

eventually it came backup and managed to login.
I realized that there was a new GPO that have been setup 2 weeks ago, and the computer has not been rebooted until today. How do I know when the GPO settings started taking effect against this computer. would Gpresult give this type of info?
the event viewer logged event 100116 I believe about DCOM. I am not by the computer right now to give you more detail about the event log
