Hello international and welcome to the forums

I'm unaware of this option being in control panel. Safe mode isn't designed to run 3rd party drivers, so I doubt Windows would have a configuration page for loading one. You can add registry keys to force drivers/services to launch in safe mode, but I would advise against doing so - it's a technique that malware uses. If you're up for a bit of experimenting, then we can try this, but I can't guarantee success. I would only feel vaguely comfortable in doing this is we had a full system image to fall back on. It's your call though, just let me know what you want to do

If you don't mind me asking, why are you trying to load VirtualBox in safe mode?

Ignore this: HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SafeBoot

Hi international,

Okay, that's great. Perhaps consider dropping him a PM as a friendly reminder to reply to your thread - it's been a week since his last post and he may have forgotten. I would be very interested to hear the outcome of this.

Have you tried following this tutorial?

I think I've completely misunderstood you. I thought you wanted to boot your PC in safe mode, then run VB in this; not boot your VM PC in safe mode in VB (if that makes any sense :S )
