Help with Windows

My computer froze about a week ago when I was online, and when I started it back up, Windows was running in "safe mode". It's been this way fo about a week now and it's pretty annoying with the colors all off and not even able to play Windows Media Player videos. Is there anything that I can do or change in regards to the Windows Settings to change it back to the regular Windows, not in safe mode? Just to let you know, I have Windows 98. Thanks alot to all who can help!

When you shut down properly safe mode should end. You may just have a messed up display.

Nah, Safe Mode always comes up with screwy colours. I don't know much about the software end of things, so I assume the "minimal set of drivers" loaded doesn't include the higher-end video stuff. ::shrug::

 

And yeah, a simple proper reboot should help.

Safe mode runs video only in VGA mode: 640x480, with 16 colors. The good thing about it is that you can safely remove devices that are causing problems, since their drivers aren't loaded. Check your device manager and make sure nothing is reporting an error before you do a hard reboot.
