Restart your computer.

if you did then that means something is throwing it into safe-mode on start-up in that case my suggestion would be this... Click start. Click Run. (depending on start menu) then type msconfig. goto the last tab at the top (start-up) and un click everything. check your autoexec and config.sys make sure there are no weird programs starting up with windows.. try that and restart.. should be cool...

Check your "boot.ini" file and make sure it doesn't have /safeboot:minimal at the end of the last line. Note, this is a hidden system file so you will have to unhide it via TOOLS>FOLDER OPTIONS>VIEW in Windows Explorer. You should be able to use NOTEPAD to edit/view it.
