I have seen this before with Nvuidea driver installs.

Uninstalling all the extra Nvidea guff and then rolling back to the original graphics driver normaly sorts it.

+1 for the above, it certainly sounds like the video drivers weren't uninstalled correctly before the new drivers were applied (or the wrong driver pack was downloaded).

'Spot on' fellas...  :y Took pc to local chap today, apparently, in my very basic terms. My video cards are no longer supported by nVidia so the driver information that came down corrupted something or other  :-\ causing the video card to resort to its lowest setting, which in turn screwed the graphics, so I am informed, the pc was not actually in safe mode at all... Funny that many times on restarting it said, starting in safe mode. Ah well! Alls well that ends well. My thanks to all who tried to help..  :y

Under-steer is when the front of the car hits the wall, and over-steer is when the rear of the car hits the wall.
Power is how fast you hit the wall and torque is how much of the wall you take with you.

Win XP. SP3. Tried system restore. Get a window come up say. 'System Restore has been turned off. Do you want to turn system restore on now. Click on YES. Window opens with a tick on turn system restore off. Uncheck it, BUT. Cannot save settings because it is in safe mode and the bottom of the window is out of sight?? Nothing added to pc at all... Used last night and was perfectly normal.  :-\

I was a bit confuddled by this, but glad you're sorted now. :y :y :y
