Only Boots to safe mode command prompt

[Guest]

I was attempting to troubleshoot a problem and thought I set the pc to boot
to safe mode w/network thru msconfig. When I restarted, it starts in safe
mode command prompt. when I exit the CMD window I only get a black safe mode
window. How can I set it to start back normally or in true safe mode?

Windows XP

If Windows XP is the only operating system installed on your computer,
booting into Safe Mode with these instructions.

a.. If the computer is running, shut down Windows, and then turn off the
power
b.. Wait 30 seconds, and then turn the computer on.
c.. Start tapping the F8 key. The Windows Advanced Options Menu appears.
If you begin tapping the F8 key too soon, some computers display a "keyboard
error" message. To resolve this, restart the computer and try again.
d.. Ensure that the Safe mode option is selected.
e.. Press Enter. The computer then begins to start in Safe mode.
f.. When you are finished with all troubleshooting, close all programs and
restart the computer as you normally would.
To use the System Configuration Utility method

a.. Close all open programs.
b.. Click Start, Run and type MSCONFIG in the box and click OK
c.. The System Configuration Utility appears, On the BOOT.INI tab, Check
the "/SAFEBOOT" option, and then click OK and Restart your computer when
prompted.
d.. The computer restarts in Safe mode.
e.. Perform the troubleshooting steps for which you are using Safe Mode.
When you are finished with troubleshooting in Safe mode, open MSCONFIG
again, on the BOOT.INI tab, uncheck "/SAFEBOOT" and click OK to restart
your computer

Hi Mike
I did this once to.
Let your pc start in safe mode, when you get to the chose user window,chose
adminestrater acount.
When you get to the desktop,click start,run, msconfig, bootini tab, uncheck
safeboot, reboot.
Hope this helps.
