Annoyances search leaves much to be desired, as Keith noted. Going to Google directly
is more likely to yield results.
Normally, it's due to a driver problem, and duplicate devices only show up in Safe
mode. It's nothing serious. My old standby response for the locked in safe mode issue..
Are you sure it's Safe mode; does it say Safe mode in all four corners? IF it does
say Safe Mode in all four corners, you'll need to do some troubleshooting. Safe Mode
is a diagnostic mode.
You can check some things to find out, what's preventing Windows from booting normally.
Often it's a device driver problem. Check all your hardware devices to see whether
there are any problems. Go into Device Manager... right click My Computer - Properties
- Device Manager tab.
Check for any duplicate or problem devices (with exclamation points). If there are
any, delete ALL instances of that device. Reboot and Windows will detect new hardware
and reinstall the drivers for the device/s.
Other sources to check, if that doesn't help:
