As a start, it would be good if you previewed your composition before posting it. The first 2 paragraphs here are worth reading: http://www.annoyances.org/exec/forum/win98/1217046552 The difference between Normal Mode And Safe Mode is that normally Windoze uses device drivers to get more than the basic functions enabled in the Windoze kernel. As such, looking in Device Manager for yellow marks is a good idea. Remove any damaged item before replacing it. You have scanned for infections. Right? Part of Windoze could also be broken; System File Checker can help there.
