Help how to exit safe mode on galaxy tab

[yourdima]

hello
my galaxy tab i think version 7 froze out of the blue
did some research and found out that by pressing the menu and home botton and holding, the tab reboots in safe mode
now i cant seem to exit safe mode, when i turn it on it freezes on the samsung logo, it will only boot if i press menu and home botton and hold, and when it does boot up i cant access any of the apps ive downloaded
questions:
how can i turn it on and get it to start out of safe mode
is it possible to get it to work without loosing all my downloads
thanks in advance
