Can't get out of safe mode

I had an issue with one of my games and it directed me to go into safe mode
to uninstall it. Now that it's uninstalled, I can't get out of safe mode.
I've been through this forum in and out. I've done nearly all the things that
it has stated that come close to my issue. I'm still in here. I've been in
and out for 3 hours now. I've gone through the msconfig, and told it to
restart in normal mode, I'm still in safe mode. I've used the F8 button while
starting it, and told it to go to safe mode, I'm still here. I've even
checked to see if it was the resolution, I've set it to my default settings
of 1280x720, and restart it, it's still in safe mode. I've done EVERYTHING
that I can think of.

It's really getting to me, so PLEASE help me out.

While in Safe Mode, run devmgmt.msc
Use it to 'uninstall' the Display adapter and then 'scan for hardware
changes'. This should replace the video card driver and allow a normal boot.

I've also just reset my computer back to an earlier date, like 15 days ago,
and it's still in safe mode.

It has installed a new driver, but I can't find out how to do scan, AND, I'm
still in safe mode.

Please, is there any other way...

Run msconfig. Tick "Normal Startup".

You tried CONTROL PANEL|ADD HARDWARE?

Try this: Open an admin command prompt. Type shutdown /g (space before /)
Press Enter.

The /g switch tells the computer to:
"Shutdown and restart the computer. After the system is
rebooted, restart any registered applications"
