I have tried both holding down the F8 key as well as tapping it during boot up. No joy so far. Thanks, though.

You do not want Setup, as you have already discovered.
You want the boot modes normally found at F8, and in this case specifically, the Safe Mode.
If you changed anything in Setup, change it back before proceeding. Make sure that there is no disk in the optical drive.
Power off, cycle the power back on, and then immediately hold the F8 button down for a minute or so. It should give you a list of boot options on the screen. If it starts beeping a stacatto sound, tap the F8 key instead of holding it while waiting for the boot options. Select Safe Mode and proceed from there.
If that fails, let us know.
