The fact you can still get into Safe Mode suggests it could be one of the programmes starting up in normal mode which is causing this.

Go into Start, Run & type cmd then press enter. type msconfig and press enter again and look to see what you have in startup.

Now you should only really have important things in there like ACPI, Anti-Virus software, anything else isn't really needed on startup

tried typing msconfig comes back not recognised as an internal or external command, operable progra or batch file

OMG no wonder its hanging, I'd disable all of them unless you need the keyboard shortcuts "kbd"

You can still use those programmes when it boots anyway
EDIT: I didn't recognise the antivirus, do you have one installed, if so leave that

Have you ran the antivirus in safemode?

It that finds nothing you can then try going to Start, Run and type "SFC.EXE /SCANNOW" You may need the Windows CD/DVD.

I still know its something related to the startup, most likely driver related now
