I needed to fix a problem with the safe mode. Now, I cannot seem to figure out how to get my computer back into regular mode. I have shut off my computer and tried putting it back into Normal. But, I still have the same problem. Everything on myscreen is really large and I cannot get to any other of my devices.....CD-rom etc. Hopefully there is an easy way out of this! Can you help me?

The fact that you computer will not boot into anthing other than Safe mode, means that there is still a problem with your hardware. The computer is probably not recognizing the last device you installed.

I recommend that in safe mode, remove/uninstall the last device you added to your computer. Then restart and press F8 and choose Normal. Your should then be able to change your display settings back to normal.

If this works then either try that device on another computer and seeif it does the same on another computer. If yes, then the device is bad. If no, then try it on the first computer again... following step-by-step through the instructions provided from the manufacturer of that device.

I'm sorry, but that isn't the answer to this problem. T haven't installed anything recently.I can start it in Normal mode.....but nothing looks normal on my computer. Everything is alot larger and the colours are not there. I tried to listen to my CD, but I get no sound even though it shows it running. Please help!

Try replacing your video card with a known good one. Your card might be fried...Peace...

Sounds like your system threw its video drivers. I would uninstall and reinstall your video card using the latest drivers available. Then after you reboot and the video card/driver are working correctly, right click on your desktop, choose properties, then settings and pick the number of colors and resolution you want.

Regarding getting to other devices...is it that you can't see them correctly or they are not functioning?

This sounds the most resonable information that I have received. I will try it.

With the CD, the computer shows it as working, yet there is no sound.

Thanks
