What the heck IS safe mode and why is it good? I never have understood it! Can you explain what it is to me?
When you start your pc, before the log in screen, you should see an option to start in safe mode by pressing F8 or F12, it depends on what brand you have. This is a mode just starts your Windows with limited set of files and drivers. It's usually used as a "troubleshooting" for when your windows isn't working correctly.

Also, there are rare times where your registry might need to be cleaned up. You can find all sorts of free registry clean up programs.
