Hello, I am accessing this site from safe mode (plus networking) because every time i start a normal boot of my computer, the desktop is completely blank. I can access task manager, but that's it. Help me please!

Much appreciated,
~Lucky

The first thing I would try is to reinstall the video driver, even while in safe mode
