Please look at the corners of your screen - does it say "Safe Mode" there? If not, there is a chance your graphics have been reset incorrectly by an application, in which case you can right click on the desktop and adjust the resolution using "Personalize" and "Display Properties". If this has not fixed the problem, try shutting down your computer from the start menu. Once the computer has been fully shut down, wait 10 seconds and power it back on, while holding the "F8" key. This should display your boot options for the operating system. From here, select either "Last Known Good Configuration" or the name of your current operating system. Good luck solving your problem!

How do I turn off safe mode

When you restart your computer it should go back to regular mode. If you see a list of options instead, chose the option to "boot windows normally".
If you still boot into safe mode, you could have a hardware or operating system issue.

How do you put windows into safe mode?

Power on or Restart your computer, keep tapping F8 on the keyboard while it boots up. After few seconds, you'll be taken to the "Advanced Boot Options" with "Safe Mode" in the lists. Use the Up-Down arrow keys to highlight the "Safe Mode" and press enter on the keyboard to confirm the selected boot options. Black Screen with white texts will be displayed on the display, wait for few seconds until you see the windows logon Screen. You'll also see a confirmation message box asking you to confirm to boot into Safe Mode, click "yes" or "Ok" and proceed forward. There now you are in the Safe Mode.

If you need further help, let me know.

Good luck.

Thanks for using FixYa.

Sounds like you need to boot up in VGA mode instead of Safe Mode

Step 1. Power Down your computer.

Step 2. Powwer on your computer and press F8 to enter Safe Mode

Step 3. Instead of selecting Safe Mode, Select VGA mode.

Step 4. Once in Windows, uninstall your graphics card for your Monitor.

I am getting a INPUT NOT SUPPORT message for my 917sw AOC lcd monitor. It does work on safe mode I am using windows vista, but when I come back to normal mode, I see the same message again... HELP!!!

The resolution selected in normal mode is not supported by your monitor.
Instead of booting into safe mode, boot into VGA mode - this should allow you to change the resolution - change it to one that works and then you should be able to use normal mode.
Hope this helps, Sherwin
