You're very welcome.
If you have other questions on the OS or the PC's hardware in the future, just start another thread.

Another way to enter safe mode is as follows when running under the OS.
Open the Run window and enter: MSCONFIG
Go to the boot tab
Click on safe boot
Click on make boot setting permanent
Click on apply
Click on OK
Reboot the PC
This will keep your PC in safe mode until your reverse the process.

Otherwise, it will start in safe boot each time you power on.
