When the Safe Mode option appears do you also have an option to Restore to the Last working Configuration (or something like that)? That allows selection of a previously created restore point within XP. Worth a try.

You may be right. If it's new/under warranty, I'd take it back and have them make it right. Further attempts at repair that you make may void the warraty.
