Any more ideas from anyone? I hate to have to do a reformat and fresh install because it is a work computer and it will take forever to reconfigure all of the software. Checked the power supply, video card, ram module, everything was fine.

Checked the BOOT.ini tab in msconfig, safe boot was not checked. Did system restore and turned off automatic updates to see if an update was causing it, and it still reverted to Safe Mode only. Tried system restore again and made a registry backup, and then waited for the system to go back to safe mode and then tried to install the backup, still Safe Mode only. Repaired the boot loader still Safe Mode only. Repaired the kernel still Safe Mode only. I checked the video drivers, and updates them. You can rename the Normal.dotm file to something else and when you open Word again, it will recreate the file for you. I originally fixed the problem with system restore, but it kept reverting to Safe Mode boots only after a few days. If something has gone wrong with the Word global template, called Normal.dotm, then it can cause the whole starting in safe mode issue. It started about a week after I did a repair install for a sluggish system. If all else fails, post your FRST logs in our malware forum.I have a problem with an XP machine at my work that will now only start in Safe Mode.
