How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

After reviewing the issue, put the computer into Normal mode.
Uninstall or update the program that is causing the problem.

If this does not work, let us try to restore your computer to a previous state of safe mode.
Follow the instructions below to restore your computer to a previous state.

1. Click Start, type system restore in the search box, and then click System Restore in the list programs.
2. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password, or click on continue.
3. in the System Restore dialog box, click Next.
4. in the list of restore points, click a restore point created at least a week before the current date, and then click Next.

Note: If you do not find a restore point that is aged for at least a week, select the first point of restoration that is available.
5. click on finish.
6. the computer restarts. The system files and settings are returned to the State they were when the restore point was created.

Check whether the problem is resolved.

I suggest that you create a restore point before you follow the instructions below.
How to manually create a restore point?

1 open the system by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking system and Maintenance, and then click System.
2. in the left pane, click System Protection. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
3. click on the tab System Protection and then click on create.

In the System Protection dialog box, type a description, and then click on create.

You can also try to remove the entry by using bcdedit command in Vista by following the links below.
1. click on start.
2. type cmd and click with the right button on cmd.exe to select run as administrator.
3. Enter the following text.

bcdedit [{ID}] /deletevalue datatatype

The {ID} is the GUID associated with the start-up input. If you do not specify a {ID}, the command changes the current operating system boot entry. If a boot entry is specified, the GUID associated with the start-up input must be enclosed in braces {}. To view the GUIDs for all active startup entries, use the bcdedit/enum command.
