The usual technique for booting into safe mode is to hold down the ctrl key before windows starts booting (while still going through the POST). That gets you to the boot menu, where you select safe mode.
Try this: when you see the lilo menu, and before you click on windows, hold down the ctrl key, then click on windows and see what you get.

I'll try that again, although I did try something like that. I couldn't remember whcich key it was so I help down the Alt and Ctrl Keys at lilo....

I'll let you know, thanks
