As far as I understand starting windows in safe mode -- at least in Windows XP 
-- means that no hardware accelarted graphics drivers are loaded. That means 
that translating OpenGL calls to DirectX calls -- that is what Angle does -- 
would not really help as DirectX calls would not work either.
In fact I hope that I am wrong here -- which is likely as I am quite tired 
atm. ;)
