Open Question: when i change a setting, restart and nothing changes?

You answered your question, you are running it in safe mode. Safe mode has default settings and will always return to those settings every time you boot the computer up. Safe mode was designed for doing repairs on the operating system and not designed to be run as the main operating system, it is also limited in what it can and can not do. Basically it uses generic drivers.

OK, i just noticed you mentioned not being shut down properly, so you want an answer to get it back to booting normal. If you have the Windows CD boot it up and choose r for repair. Then choose 1 when it ask what windows, then type: fixmbr, press enter, answer yes, next screen type: fixboot, press enter, answer yes, next screen type: exit and remove the CD before it boots back up. This only fixes the boot sector of the hard drive. Some time this will get the computer to boot back into the Windows the normal way. This may not be the answer but it is a starting point.

Most computer come with one power button. If your computer is off, press it to boot your computer up. if your computer is on, press it to shut it down. Hold it for around 8 seconds for emergency shutdown in case your computer freeze (this way is better than unplug your power cord and get your laptop's battery out—this will harm your hard disk drive)…

If you don't like to press the shut down button to shut your HP down, just go to start menu and select "shutdown". Or… click on your desktop, then Hold down the Alt key and press F4, and select Shutdown.

Additionally, you may set the shut down button to tell your computer to shutdown/sleep/hibernate/do nothing by go to Control Panel, Power Setting, and change the "what does the power button do" (or something like that) option if you are running Vista or Win7.

Hope it helps you a bit.
