Guys,

I've got a computer stuck in safe mode and can't figure out how to get it back out. I have tried all the different F8 settings and it keeps logging me back in to the safe mode versus normal windows. What n00b thing am I missing?

Additional Information:
I orginally set it to boot to the command prompt using msconfig in Windows.
When I try to say boot windows normally, it must think the command prompt is the normal way to boot.


 
If anyone else ever has this problem, here is the solution I figured out:

while at the command prompt in safe mode (command prompt only) hit ctrl-alt-delete
click on task manager
Click on the file menu title
Select New Task (Run..)
type in msconfig
click okay
Select Normal Startup under the General Tab.
Click Okay.
Click Restart now.


You are good to go.

Hopefully this helps someone someday :)




 
Well, I have never seen this, but I'll file this away somewhere in my head. :D
