Can't start Windows 7 in safe mode. #215

I have small problem when using win7, i'd like to install guest additions with direct3d support however it requires running windows in safe mode, when i restart virtual machine and select Safe Mode on boot it simply starts it in Normal mode, i understand it's some sort of protection built in the windows images. Is there any way to get around it?

My bad safe mode wasn't required to install this.
