Opened up a program in safemode and now nothing works right.

Tried to start windows in normal mode and it staying in safe mode. Tried to system restore and that didn't work. I do not know how to reboot my system. Also everything is 50% larger in safemode and none of my programs like microsoft word 2003 and 2007, javascript, adobe, anything at this point doesn't work.

Boot your computer in safe mode, then check the resolution.
Also try to boot your computer in Last known Good configuration, if that doesn't work either then try the following steps as there might be some system file issue:

Log in to the system as you do in usual
insert the OS installation disk(xp)
Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to view the task manager.
Press new Task .
Now write this in the field( sfc ' '/scannow)
Note :-
Instead of ( ' ' ) press space there is no another spaces
ok
if you do it correctly you will see a window that copy the files of the
system from the CD/DVD to your PC to fix the corrupted files.
Tell me if that works.

When i turn my acer aspire one computer on, a black screen pops up saying that Windows did not start successfully. it gives several options to try including Safe Mode, Safe Mode with Networking, Safe Mode...

hi, i had the same problem to before, basically if you already tried all the safemode and still doesnt work your OS is already corrupted. So the solution for this one so that you'll still be able to use your computer is by reformatting it. hope this helps, goodluck..

The fan runs constantly and gets really hot.

You may be running too many programs in the background which can heat up a processor pretty well. You may also have a virus which overtaxes a processor. Also, always make sure that the heat vent in the back of the pc is well vented and not obstructed, and NEVER have the pc placed on something like a bed, blanket, or pillow
OK, Do this;
These are the steps that you need to take, and the instructions on how to do it:
1. Reboot into Safemode
2. Run a virus and spyware scanner while in safemode
3. Defrag
4. Scandisk
5. Registry error repairing while in safemode
6.Reboot into regular mode windows

Here is how to do it:
Reboot yor machine while holding the F8 key right as it boots back up. A menu will apear. Choose -->"start windows in safe mode with networking".
Windows will start in safe mode. Run an AVG virus scan, then run Defrag by exploring your computer, right click on C: drive, click PROPERTIES, then the TOOLS tab, click the "check now" button, and only checkmark the top box 'fix file system errors', then click ok, the computer will then tell you it will scan upon next reboot., Now click the DEFRAG NOW button. the choose defrag. After Defrag runs for about an hour and it is finished, restart the system. If is still won't run normally, go back into Safemode buy pressing F8 on reboot, then run a registry fixing program such as uniblue registrybooster, then reboot again. If it still won't run right, you may want to reinstall Windows and see if that works. If reinstalling windows doesn't fix it, it may be a hardware problem.
PRINT THESE INSTRUCTIONS AND KEEP A COPY NEAR YOUR SYSTEM FOR FUTURE PROBLEMS. THIS SERIES OF STEPS CAN FIX MANY PROBLEMS
Good luck.
