Safe mode..
Recently when I have restarted my computer it has booted in safe mode, not every time, but often enough. Why would my computer want to restart in safe mode and what are some steps to check for errors to fix the problem?
hmmm this is probably not related to the shutdown bug in Win8 SE but if you are running Win 98 SE it might be worth a try. Go to microsoft's website and download the patch and apply it to your system.
This is along shot but you never know.

Windows starts in safe mode after you fail to load Windows completely on the last attempt. Have you been having trouble with that?

Q.10299112 has a good discussion of what to do when Windows 98 won't shutdown. That discussion includes the reference to Microsoft http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q238/0/96.asp
Have you changed anything lately? New software? Printer? Mouse? Monitor?
Disconnected anything?
When it comes up in Safe Mode, Click on Start, Settings, Control Panel,System, Device Manager. Look for anything with a yellow symbol and an exclamation point. You may have a device of some kind that isn't responding, or is in conflict with some other device.
