What do you need to to do to put your laptop in safe mode?
Usually, if Windows is recovering from a system error, or the laptop wasn't shut town properly, a page will come on the screen after the BIOS boot (page that shows the computer manufacturer's logo, a phrase along the lines of BIOS Version so-and-so, and a progress bar) giving you different options on how to run Windows. You'll get three choices, Start Windows in Safe Mode, Start Windows in Safe Mode with Networking Support, and Start Windows Normally.
Does safe mode restore windows settings to the settings used in the last successful boot up?
No. Safe mode just loads applications and drivers required for windows to start. To restore settings you can run system restore in safe mode. You can also select "Last known good configuration" on the screen you choose to boot into safe mode.

What is a safe mode and how do you get into safe mode?
Safe Mode is a configuration on Windows that loads only basic, core drivers. Assuming that Windows is not beyond repair and that all hardware is functioning properly, Safe Mode is guaranteed to boot. For example, if a newly installed driver prevents the user from booting up in normal mode, Safe Mode offers a way to get back into the system so the user can roll back the driver. To get into Safe Mode, the user simply needs to press F8 after the BIOS has given control to Windows, but before Windows has a chance to start the normal startup process; there is approximately a 0.5 to 2 second window of opportunity, depending on the version of Windows and the speed of the computer. In the menu that appears after pressing F8, the user can select Safe Mode from the list of boot options. In older versions of Windows, you may need to press F5, instead.
I only have a black screen and a mouse arrow but nothing else works what is the issue?
Reboot into safe mode (By pressing the F8 key when you start your computer) and see if you get the windows screen. If it is black in safe mode then means your windows is corrupted. If you can see the screen that means windows is ok. Run msconfig under safe mode then reboot and see if everything works.
