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.
