reboot the machine. start pressing f8. When it starts beeping, stop
pressing. You will be presented with a menu screen that will have safe
mode at the top.

IRT to your previous post of mxaie.dll, nothing on google and I don't
see it on any of my w2k or xp boxes.

You may want to submit it here for analysis.
