Do not forget to reverse the entries in msconfig after you have
finished.

It would seem yes.

Try using an earlier restore point in safe mode.

This link discusses the point you raise:
http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=34449.0

NOW, I AM JUST UNABLE TO RESTART MY PC ON THE SAFE MODE.
I READ THAT I HAD TO PRESS F8 KEY, WHEN THE PC STARTS, BUT I JUST CAN
GET TO SEE THE DIFFERENT CHOICES IN STARTING MODES.
COULD YOU EXPLAIN HOW TO DO IT, PLEASE ?

I'm no sure if I'm posting this in the right catagory, but I
recently used the Live One Care scanning tool from Microsoft and
it found an error in the registy that it could not fix (my
computerhas been running very slow lately), I tried to restore it
to my "Brand New" restore point, but when my PC reboots I get a
screen that says it could not restore and that no changes have
been made to my computer (except that it keeps taking away my
quick launch). I have tried several restore points, but it will
not complete a system restore. I have updated and run my Norton
AntiVirus program (full system scan) and found no viruses or
spyware.
I have:
WinXP Home Ed. Service Pck 2 (version 2002)
Dell OptiPlex SX260
Pentium 4 (2.66GHz)
512 MB of RAM
