Safemode just starts the operating system from the last 'good configuration'

System Restore does that.

Safe Mode starts your game up with the least amount of minimal drivers.

Here's a better description of safe mode:
Safe Mode does not run the autoexec.bat or config.sys files.
Most device drivers are not loaded. A device driver is the software that Windows uses to interact with a piece of hardware, such as a printer or scanner.
Instead of the normal graphics device driver, Safe Mode uses standard VGA graphics mode. This mode is supported by all Windows-compatible video cards.
Himem.sys, which is normally loaded as part of the config.sys script, is loaded with the /testmem:on switch. This switch tells the computer to test the extended memory before continuing.
Safe Mode checks the msdos.sys file for information on where to find the rest of the Windows files. If it finds the files, it proceeds to load Windows in Safe Mode with the command win /d:m. If it does not find the Windows files, it will run command.com to bring up a C: prompt.
Windows boots using a batch file called system.cb instead of the standard system.ini file. This file loads the Virtual Device Drivers (VxDs) that Windows uses to communicate with the standard parts of the computer.
Windows now loads the regular system.ini file plus win.ini and Registry settings. It skips the [Boot] (except for the shell and device lines) and [386Enh] sections of system.ini and does not load or run any programs listed in win.ini.
The Windows desktop loads up in 16 colors and at a resolution of 640 x 480 with the words "Safe Mode" in each corner.

Razamataz:
First to start in safe mode when starting you will get to the Windows Loading Screen(the one with the bar at the bottom) Hit F8.(soon as the bar shows) Then select start in safe mode. 2nd. two others were haveing install problems that we found to be not enough hard drive space an the install would stop somewhere after 50%. So I suggest checking disk space to make certain you have enough room.
