If the computer is running, shut down Windows, and then turn off the power
Wait 30 seconds, and then turn the computer on.
Start tapping the F8 key. The Windows Advanced Options Menu appears. If you begin tapping the F8 key too soon, some computers display a "keyboard error" message. To resolve this, restart the computer and try again.
Ensure that the Safe mode option is selected.
Press Enter. The computer then begins to start in Safe mode.
When you are finished with all troubleshooting, close all programs and restart the computer as you normally would.

Once you have solved the problem that sets it in "safe mode", you can reboot the computer into normal mode.

Look in the Control Panel.
Pick device manager and look for a yellow balloon, which will show why it is still in safe mode.

shut your system completely down again plug it in to the charger and then restart the process of powering it back on as soon as you see the dell logo start pressing the shift key along with the f12 key if your hard drive is still intacked you should be taken to the start up menue select safe mode to start with. from there you should be able to get in to the program menue and you want to run system restore. if pressing shift and f12 does not get you in to the start up menue shut the system completely down again and just try hitting the f12 key to get in to it. if that does nothing either i am afraid you may have lost your hard drive.

I HAVE A DELL VASTRO LAP TOP AND IT HAS BLUE TOOTH VERSION V6.01.05(D). EVERY TIME I TRY TO ACTIVATE IT IT SAYS BLUTOOTH NOT READY . WHAT DO I DO? WHEN I TRY TO TURN ON THE RADIO NOTHING HAPPENS.

then you will need to reinstall the drivers, if you continue to encounter the same problem then you will need to check your system properties to know if there is a bluetooth installed.

Laptop

sounds like an unhappy hard drive..can you try F8 when it starts to boot, before the logo hits the screen, that takes it to SAFE mode. try the last known good configuation option, if it is there. otherwise, safe mode

then do disk clean
defrag
and then restart.
