I don't really know what I'm supposed to do once it's in safe mode, but I do a quick scandisk and then check device manager for anything obvious. That is what I do (sometimes I skip the scan disk). To the best of my knowledge SAFE mode loads default drivers. If you were to make changes to your video drivers and then your screen became unusable a SAFE mode boot would load a universal VGA driver so you could use your machine. You would then go into device manager and reinstall the video driver or fix the device conflict that was working before you (or Bill) messed it up. Zeuspaul
