I cannot go to safe mode anymore, the starting of the computer goes too fast
and I cannot get to it, what should I do?

Hi,

Start/run msconfig, on the boot.ini tab choose the /safeboot option. Click
apply/ok and reboot, it will go straight to Safe mode. Reverse the steps to
boot normally again, or remove the /safeboot parameter in boot.ini by
manually editing the file.

Thanks "Nutcase", I really appreciate your help. I am thankful you are not
rude and obnoxious like some of the others who have answered others questions.
