Safe mode will create 'messed up' colours as it uses 16 colour mode, making anything photographic look shocking. May I ask what is so bad about having options to choose from that causes you to use safe mode?

Well by all means, but that's expensive. Windows Me is, unfortunately the worst of all Windows operating systems, and I applaud you for putting up with it for so long. A reinstall should cure the problem and you shouldn't lose any of your data except my documents. if you try and back that up in a DOS prompt you should be able to keep them.
