Question : XP boots only to safe mode - how to repair?

I have a laptop running Win XP Pro.  Yesterday it started to boot only to safe mode.  It flashes an blue screen error message, but its too fast to read.  I have tried several restore point, but it says that it is unable to complete the restoration.  Why would it be unable to use a restore point, and how can I figure out what's wrong and repair it?
