The SM boot is kind of pointless (other than eliminating hw issues). And do whatever you can to NOT have to do a restore.
The SMC reset will very likely fix your problem.

Of course it should boot into SM. That very rarely fixes any problems though. At least you know HW problems likely aren't the issue.
Delete startup/login items for the user in safe mode and then try to boot normally.
Or just restore.

You can back up or do what he said below - maybe uninstall the last thing that you installed.
Aint nobody has time for that....

Apple's newly refreshed MacBook Air and 13-inch MacBook Pro models no longer support running Windows 7 with Boot Camp, according to Apple's Boot Camp support document. Boot Camp on the new notebooks only works with Windows 8 or later, so it is impossible to use Boot Camp to install Windows 7 on the machines.
Apple also dropped Windows 7 Boot Camp support in the 2013 Mac Pro, suggesting the software would cease to be supported by future Macs, but Macs released in 2014 continued to offer Windows 7 installations. The 2014 MacBook Air and the 2014 MacBook Pro will be the last Apple notebooks that support Windows 7.
Though Boot Camp no longer supports Windows 7, the operating system can continue to be used on these newer machines with virtualization software like VMware Fusion and Parallels.

There are threads of people who made it work with non-apple drivers.

This is the first I've heard of Trackpad++ and it sounds amazing.
Whiskers do you think it's worse that the drivers Apple provides for Windows?

Honestly, I think I have installed and uninstalled it a few times myself...
It's back on and ONLY set to prevent accidental palm movement of the pointer while typing.
We will see how long it last this time...

You don't need to install power+ I'm sure you could just manually disable driver signing in windows

having loaded and unloaded it before, I did not need to install it again to disable driver signing.

Audio/video or virus? Lol
If virus, I've never used an antivirus on a Mac before.
