    Have you tried (in safe mode) uninstalling MSN or click start, run, type in msconfig, click startup tab, uncheck msn box, reboot

    no way. there has to be a way. this never happened before, and nothing is working wrong. internet works, downloading works, music works, the only thing is the appearance.. thers no way im re-installing everything just for this shit.

    I FOUND THIS


    Windows XP defaults to Safe Mode at every startup
    SYMPTOM

    Windows XP may default to Safe Mode at every startup. Even if you select the option Start Windows Normally, it still boots into Safe Mode. IOW, you cannot get out of Safe mode.

    This happens if the /safeboot switch is added in the Boot.ini file. /Safeboot parameter forces a start in safe mode by using the specified parameters. The available parameters are:


    *

    minimal
    *

    network
    *

    safeboot:minimal(alternateshell)

    For more information on Boot.ini switches, see Reviewing and Correcting Boot.ini Settings on x86-based Systems
    RESOLUTION

    *

    Click Start, Run and type MSCONFIG
    *

    Select the Boot.ini tab
    *

    If you have dual-boot setup, select the appropriate entry under [operating systems]
    *

    In the Boot Options section at the bottom, uncheck /SAFEBOOT option
    *

    Click OK
    *

    Restart Windows

    The /safeboot entry will now be removed from the Boot.ini file.
