Safe mode is for trouble shooting, so windows loads only the minimum drivers needed to run. That is probably why your Track Point is working.

For the 'start Menu problem open up msconfig/General tab/Advanced and deselect 'Enable Startup Menu'.

Correction:
That is probably why your Track Point is 'not' working.

To run msconfig go to Start /Run and type msconfig
