I cannot access safe mode on my pc running xp home ed.i have 2 used
accounts both with admin priviliges. when i boot onto safe mode i click the
admin account but i get a prompt for a password but before i can enter
anything my pc reboots to the regular welcome screen . i have done a scan
with trend micro online it found 2 malware and removed it but still that did
not make any difference. would anyone know whats causing this type of
behavior

try this:

with an administrator user go to start - run - copy/paste : msconfig
(press enter) the system configuration utility will open go to
BOOT.INI tab and check the box Safeboot, click apply and Ok...restart your
computer.

if this doesn't work try with prompt command:
when bios download press F8 and select:

Safe Mode with Command Prompt:
later type:

%systemroot%\system32\restore\rstrui.exe (press enter)

If this doesn't work you need to do a repair of the os
