This means that something is running in Regular Mode that is causing a
problem. I can't guess what it is because we really don't have any
information about your computer. What changed between the time things
worked and the time they didn't? This is the first question to ask in
troubleshooting.
I would start with the normal troubleshooting for viruses and malware:

If the machine is clean, then do clean-boot troubleshooting:
Clean Boot - http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=310353
and How to Troubleshoot By Using the Msconfig Utility in Windows XP -
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=310560
Also look at the Event Viewer (if you have Win2k/XP) to see if there are
clues: Start>Run>eventvwr.msc [enter]
After you've done the above, if you need more help then please go to the
following link to see what kind of details you should include in your
next newsgroup post:
