How do I get out of Safe Mode?

So I just got home from dinner about an hour and a half ago and m
computer looked very strange. The colors were all distorted (lik
watercolors) and the print was very large. It looked like Safe Mod
usually does. There was no message screen telling me there was a proble
so I'm not sure what the deal is. I've tried rebooting my computer
pressing F8 and selecting "restart normally" AND "Last known correc
settings" or whatever it's called. Neither worked. So I changed th
color depth on the Control Panel. That fixed the color problem. Th
color looks normal (kind of) but the print is still very large and i
still looks like it's in Safe Mode.

Do I have a virus or is there a quick fix solution for my problem?

P.S. Earlier this afternoon, my little brother installed a very old P
game on my laptop and left the game on before we left for dinner. I'v
taken out the game by now but I'm not sure if that was any factor t
it's current status.

Help would be greatly appreciated. If I don't answer on here, my emai
is . Thank you for your time.

Sincerely, Coli

It only looks like safe mode.
it sounds like the game changed your screen resolution.
You were on the right track with color now you just need to go back and
adjust your screen resolution to what it used to be..
