My problem happen quite a while ago so I can't give anyone any specific information now. One thing I will advise though - DON'T LET IT GO INTO SAFE MODE! I now watch my start-up screen and if I get the choice screen Do you want to ... 1) Start normally 2) Start in Safe mode ... I make sure I hit the 1 quick smart! This invariably gets me a normal start in my normal screen with all colours BUT I get a warning screen asking me to confirm my display settings. Once i click ok I'm running as per normal. I think I have dropped into Safe mode once since but I closed down and rebooted (not sure if I just hit the power button) and when it re-started I chose 1 as above. prevention is better than cure, eh!
