Stuck in Safe Mode
Boggin:
Can you boot up into Safe Mode with Networking then go to your computer support site and download the chipset drivers if any and then the graphics drivers.
There's always the possibility that your graphics card has gone down but your USB ports should work in Safe Mode.
The South Bridge aspect of the chipset/video drivers looks after the USB ports but as your graphics aren't working in normal mode either, then the two could be tied together.
Julian:
Ah so you got stuck in safe mode because you never opened Windows repair in safe mode so Windows repair could not check if Windows was In safe mode and remove safe boot from the bcdedit.
Phototaker:
Pressing the reset button on case & holding down F8 doesn't help either.

Thank you for the 'killsafemode' command line instructions.
During my 'The Truth About Vista' month, I've filled a notebook of scribbling oldschool handwritten clues, commands, registry locations, log names, good web sites, bad web sites, etc. and I've learned more than my semi-retired brain wanted to let into long term memory. It seems that writing something down on paper, especially if you're stressed or on edge, helps the brain analyze the data and store more of it in long term memory. Reading it from paper or screen gets it into short term memory, but writing it down sends the brain's storage system a ping that what's happening is possibly important. Trouble is I have a pop & rock trivia memory bank that covers the late 50's to the late 80's because of my 8 years in radio and 8 years as a disco nightclub dj/entertainer, followed by a 20+ years of business app design and development at the time of Lotus 123, Clipper, FoxPro and Visual Foxpro, SQL, all that in my long term memory bank. Plus all the mental baggage you pick up using operating systems, browsers, Chat apps. I've often wondered how much storage space we have up there. We must have a built in memory disposal system, but it's amazing how a little refresher reading will bring a whole bunch of forgotten knowledge to the foreground.
And I saw a FIRST for me yesterday. After one reboot from safe mode (640x480), the screen returned to the normal settings (1650 x 1050) but with the safe-mode indicators at the top and bottom of the screen. And in that mode, I had full keyboard access. I mention that because when in normal safe mode (640x480), the keyboard is non-responsive. The Num-Lock, Caps-Lock, Scroll-Lock lights respond to the keyboard, but all character keys do not get sent to Windows. And that means no password entries and you can't respond to 'Press Any Key' to continue.
(Yes I do ramble)
