In safe mode run scandisk / defrag / virus scanner.
Empty temp folder etc.

If you have added or changed or installed anything - unchange it

reboot - if not start normally - reboot - F8 and choose the option to start in Dos Mode
win /?
win /d:fsvx (or similiar - can't remember options)
note any error messages..

there may be a setting in msdos.sys forcing safe mode to load....
