Default When I boot

I know it doesn't happen all the time, but you can get caught in a bit of a
vicious cycle with many video adapters unless you specifically change the
driver to Standard VGA while in Safe Mode (before or after Removing all
others.)

Not sure I've ever seen more than one vid adapter listed in Device Manager,
Safe Mode or otherwise. In fact, it's perhaps the *only* thing I've never
seen duplicated.


It does happen. I've seen it a couple of times.

Best way to fix it is as you say - change to the Standard VGA driver
while in Safe Mode then delete all other entries in Device Manager.

Well, if anyone would have seen such a rare occurrence, Ron, that'd be you,
