If you are referring to the SP1a security update CD, forget it.. install
SP2.. the first link tells you how, and the others tell you why..

Re. the screen resolution in Safe Mode.. the essence of Safe Mode is to give
the computer operator a working OS that is not hampered or affected by any
drivers other than any that are absolutely necessary.. the video driver
loaded in safe mode is therefore only capable of VGA's lowest resolution,
640 x 480.. there is no way to change this in safe mode..
