I cant get DD's laptop out of safe mode

[stoppinattwo]

thats it basically...any clues

I have shut it down properly and restarted it but it just remains in safe mode

she is not please

Bumping for you.

Have you tried holding down the power button for absolutely ages??

I've had this probem a few times.

To get the Menu up to select Safe Mode, Boot Normally etc press F8 while booting. (You may find you have to keep tapping it fast rather then holding it down)

If it still insists on safe mode then it must have a fault.

One of the Menu options will be "Use Last Known Good Configuration" which might sort it out. Otherwise post more details. How did this begin?

Some stuff about Safe Mode

thankyou onager...sorry went for a soak in the bath....was tempted to put the laptop in with me

ok so it wasnt on safe mode......it was just that the screen was grosely overscaled!!!!!

thankyou to Nemo's DP
