:)Hello Justinian! I can answer your question on Safe Mode… When you are rebooting your system and it is starting up, hit your F-8 button ( It will beep- do not worry) sometimes you need to hold it down a few moments.

This should take you to a BLACK SCREEN. The screen will have 3 #ers, pick option 3 (this is SAFE MODE) …

You will enter your system safely,and the icons will look large , the dithering of the colors will look out of wack , like a bad picture. This is okay…

Continue running the scan , then reboot, go to Safe Mode screen (black screen) and THEN select option#1(NORMAL)…

Then you will be right back to where you were , only safely scanning …

Hmmmmm , I know some things… Props 2 me… But you did give me the idea of running it in safe mode…

Tell me…Is it really better to do it that way?

Ciao 4 Now!
