If I understand correctly, when you enter SAFE mode, Windows loads only the very basic generic drivers for the CD-Rom drive, monitor, graphics card and mouse, and very little, if anything else. If you are using a specialty mouse, such as a wireless mouse, it may have some conflicts with the generic driver. Try using the generic mouse that most manufacturers ship with their computers. It is also possible you have a bad driver or other corrupt file causing the problem.
