The services that get started in each of the Safe Modes are not the same. I do not have McAfee installed and I can see the same Event Log messages - but I am not worried about it because it is OK to see these messages in Safe Mode without networking. Try a normal boot or Safe Mode with Networking and see how things look then. If you see this kind of message when you try to run Task Manager, Regedit or Command Prompt: ....has been disabled by your Administrator The issue is usually a malware infection. Usually, a good scanning tool with remove the malware but the problem and the message remains. You need to run MBAM and SAS until they report no issues, and if you still have the problem with those things being disabled, we can fix it in about one minute. It is easy to fix - after the scans run clean. After MBAM and SAS run clean if you think you have a problem or question about Restore Points, we will fix that too. The RPs generally take care of themselves but are also popular malware targets. They still may need attention after any malware is removed. Again, not difficult and easy to fix on a clean system. It doesn't make sense to try to fix problems on an afflicted system. Just fix one thing at a time AFTER the scans run clean... Nothing here is too difficult.
From: JB on 3 Mar 2010 19:01 Thank you Jose It seems that the errors are normal in Safe Boot despite the earlier replies. My system is very clean and all is well. No need to reformat!...

No need to reformat!... Good - I think so to from my testing. I have never reinstalled XP to fix anything. I learned more about Safe Mode and what goes on with the hows and whys about the events in the Event Log and made some notes for some other day! Next time, it won't take so long. If you have a Task manager or System Restore issue or question we can help with that.
