Hi, I have been in safe mode several times. SOmetimes, when i have entered
safe mode and as soon as the screen comes up to click on a user account, I
have noticed that the screen & all the colors look wierd. It reminds me of
an outdated pc. old fashioned colors where there are all these tiny squares
producing the picture. even after I click a user, nothing changes. It doesnt
happen all the time. but, I dont always get into safe mode. just when trying
to fix an issue, or if I want to do periodic scans to ensure my pc is safe.
Any ideas how to fix this. Or why it happens. Even if I restart in safe
mode, it doesnt get fixed. TIA
 
Safe Mode only loads the drivers necessary to display a window and run the
operating system. Video is cut to the absolute minimum.
 
That's just the way safe mode is. It loads basic minimal drivers - just
enough so that you can trouble shoot a problem. It does NOT load your
installed video driver.

If you knew as much as you think you know,
You would realize that you don't know what you thought you knew!
 
Thanks guys for your replies. I understand that not everything loads up in
SM. However, I have entered safe mode several times. and several times, I
would get the safe mode norm colors. BUT, lately, its worse ,as I stated in
my post. The colors and squares were so different from other times that I
entered in SM. I thought that maybe i needed to do adjustments in my colors
or something. But, if all is normal, then I appologize for my extra reply.
good day!
 
You got too small a screen resolution in SM; increase it (Display
Properties/Settings) while in SM.
