Are you sure that it is in Safe Mode? It *may* just be the wrong screen
resolution which looks like Safe Mode.

Does it say 'Safe Mode' in each corner of the display?

If you are sure that it really is in Safe Mode, what happens when you
shut-down and re-boot?

Does it automatically run Scandisk?
Does it then attempt to start in Normal Mode?

Have you got the 'Enable Startup Menu' box set in msconfig? Run
msconfig.exe and on the General tab, select Advanced and uncheck the 'Enable
Startup Menu' box.

Apparently we had a power surge. The computer only boots up in safe mode.
I tried system restore and everything else the troubleshooter suggested. i
can't reinstall Windows ME because it is the software that came with the
computer.

Any suggestions? To be honest I have no idea how these things are
responded to so if some has suggestion if they could e-mail it to
I would greatly appreciate it.
