Recently I had to run my computer in safe mode because I had some viruses (which I still have 1 that is not responding to any ways of getting rid of it). Finally I got it to a point where I could run it in regular mode without it crashing, but now when I run it in regular mode, the style of it is like Safe Mode. Everything is in Safe Mode format, like the start menu is white instead of blue like its supposed to be and everything looks different. I don't know how to fix this! please help!

Please set a system restore point before you install anything

Download Everest Home Edition

Run the programme, click + next to computer then summary

Look on right for Display / Video Adapter

Look at the manufacturer’s site for the suitable driver for your Operating System

If you are unable to find it, please post the make and model here before you download anything

I just downloaded the driver for my software, and I intstalled it, and it did not change anything. I tried to do a system restore, but it won't let me restore to any point at all. When I go to my control pannel and click on appearances and themes, it says that its set up like its supposed to be, but it still looks different than it should. it still looks like its in safe mode.
