Default Can only boot in safe mode after Hardware wizard failed.

I was doing a reinstall of a modem using the Insatl New Hardware Wizard which
failed to complete. Now I can only reboot in safe mode. Atempts at normal
boot result in the system rebooting itself and going to safe mode. I have had
a similar problem when I install a printer on a different PC and gaave up and
reformated the hard drive. Anyone have an idea?

Boot to Safe Mode
Right click MyComputer, click Properties Device Manager tab.
Remove any/all instances of the modem and close out.

Click Start Settings Control Panel Add/Remove Programs.
Uninstall anything related to the modem.
Close out and shut down.
Remove the modem and reboot.

Does the machine boot normally?
