ATI Radeon All In Wonder 9600 XT boot to safe mode problem..

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.hardware (More info?)

You need to go through Control Panel, Display to set the system display
properties to that which is acceptable to the Monitor itself.

Changing the properties via the monitor's on screen menu is not changing the
system properties.

ATI has a removal tool on their website (I believe gets rid of anything ATI
related from your system) maybe Nvidea has something similar. You may wish
to remove the ATI software/drivers as well and reload it in vgamode.

Uninstall antivirus before removing and reinstalling ATI software (quote
from their website).

Pardon my ignorance, but what are Omega drivers? This is a built by ATI
card not powered by ATI, right?

Nvidea drivers often uninstalled in add/remove dialogue

Same with ATI. The utility I spoke of is for incomplete and/or problem
removals. I have personally never had to use it.

Omega drivers at http://www.omegadrivers.net/
Supposed to be better drivers for ATI cards than ATI drivers.

To give you a chance to read the blue-screen error text, configure your
system to NOT reboot when a STOP error occurs.
Right-click on My Computer icon, select Properties, select Advanced and then
under "Startup and Recovery" click Settings. On the ensuing dialog box
untick "Automatically restart" and click OK.

This should give you chance to read the text next time an error occurs, and
with luck diagnose the cause.
Hope this helps.
