Daryll, can you tell us how or why you think it went in to safe mode?? What were you doing at the time?? Rebooting doesn't work?? Have you tryed just turning it off and then back on? I know those sound like pretty simple steps, but that is where I would have to start. Mine when in to safe mode once while I was on the internet using some java scripting, I couldn't make it respond but just turned it off and then back on.

Hi, Opened a hotmail message,boom porn site, closed the window ,boom another porn site and on and on hit the restart button-it restarted in safe mode. Shut it down again and restarted same thing. Deleted all the cookies and history,home page now a porn site,took that out and restored home page,checked favorites-bunch of porn sites,deleted those. I'm going to shut down again and see what happens. What a pain- any ideas? Daryll

I don't think Karen would mind the cut and paste

First thing you should do is try is to reboot your computer. If it still comes up in safe mode do the following: 1. Click "start"; 2. "shut down" 3. "restart" 4. Immediately after the computer restarts and before it can go through any boots, hold down the "control" key or hit F8. 5. A screen will come up asking what mode you want to restart in. You will choose "1" - normal. 6. Hit enter and you should come up in normal mode.
