Hello,
"when i start safari the options at head of screen like..safari, edit,view,bookmarks,window,help are all in faint colour and i cannot click on them."
That is your Menu Bar. You need to check the boot disk for errors.
Shut down your Mac. Now, press the power button, hold down the C key, and insert the restore disk all at the same time. Keep holding down the C key until you see the Apple logo. An Installer window will open but DO NOT proceed with any installations, instead from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Disk Utility. In the DU window, select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab and click: Verify If DU reports errors, click Repair. When it's finished, from the Menu Bar select Utilities/Startup Disk and select MacintoshHD 10.x.x and click Restart.
Before you even launch Safari after rebooting, check your Menu Bar where you will see:
Finder File Edit View Go Window Help
Does it look like it should?
