My Computer Does Not Come Out Of Safe Mode When I Shut It Down How Do I Get It Out Of Safe Mode?

         Usually, the computer will automatically go into Safe Mode if a corrupted driver is installed on the machine. The driver may also be in conflict with other drivers in the system. One way to get out of Safe Mode is to pick LAST KNOWN GOOD CONFIGURATION when the computer reboots into Safe Mode. Windows is suppose to be smart enough to go back to the next to last item that was placed on your computer and start up from there. Since you probably tried to reboot so many times Windows has lost count and may not get you to a good configuration.
         If this should happen then go into Safe Mode and, in Windows XP, go th the Start button, then to RUN and type in msconfig. When the System Configuration Utility comes up click on the Launch System Restore on the bottom right side under the General tab. Pick a date earlier than when you first noticed the problem. Reboot the computer, it should now boot normally.
         Windows Vista users have it a bit easier. Simply type System Restore (or pick it on the drop down menu) and follow the instructions above. If this doesn't work then go into Device Manager from the Control Panel and try to remove the last driver you installed, if you can remember it.  
         If your system still refuses to launch normally, then you will need your Application Disk, the one with the Windows Operating System on it, and insert it in the CD/DVD drive. Reboot the system and Press Any Key to Boot to CD. This will start the installation of Windows. Don't Panic. If you follow the prompts after the initial Windows configuration loads, it will ask if you wish to Install or Repair Windows. Choose R for Repair. Follow the prompts and Windows should remove and replace the corrupted software. If this fails then you have no recourse but to re-install the operating system. Choose New Install and follow the prompts. Unfortunately, you will lose ALL data so you will want to backup everything that is important to you before re-installing.
         GOOD LUCK !
