Hello Do_little,
No need to be sorry for all the questions, that is why we are here. http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/wink.gif
Although some seem to be homework for a computer class, I think you just have a desire for very deep, technical answers.
For questions that seem to much like homework, we will direct you to some research resources.

Safemode loads minimal basic drivers and limited functionality. It allows you to troubleshoot some problems and also servers as a notice that something may be wrong.
By shutting down incorrectly, you may be corrupting files or configurations. Safemode would allow you to start the system and reset configurations if needed and then proceed regularly.

Good luck and do the research http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/cool.gif
