Explain your problem in detail. When does it happen exactly??

Please ensure that you do not have frequent power failures and such...

And last but not the least ensure that you have not been infected by a virus.

i think the safemode entry of xp may created in boot.ini,so go to mycomputer->properties->advanced->then go to the bottom SETTINGS tab->edit then a notepad file is open, so verify the line

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn

if this is not there make correction i think your line may consists of SAFEMODE
