Depending on your VCR's loading mechanism, it's probably one of two things. Either the timing gears have slipped (to fix that correctly, the gears will most likely need to be replaced) or the mode switch has gotten dirty (tarnish on the silver contacts from lack of use) and it needs to ether be replaced or dismantled and cleaned.
