It kinda sounds to me that you had two drivers installed concurrently and that was causing the system problems. I did something similiar with my sound card (M-Audio Rev 7.1) when I didn't unistall the previous driver and just added the latest driver on top of it. My computer would boot up but wouldn't progress past the Windows XP splash screen. I did the same thing you did with the safe mode removed the old driver and everything was gold.
