Hi,

Ok, Since you can get into safe mode. I would suggest using using system retstore.

Start>Programs>Accesories>System Tools>System Restore

To roll back the computer to a time before you were having these problems.

More info and help on system restore is avalible here

Or else press F8 while booting and select "Last Good Known Configuration" and press enter
