    Excellent suggestion, Megahertz07!

    I wonder if there is some non-Microsoft service running which is telling this program that XP is the OS? Or maybe an erroneous registry entry.

    I don't think is a register setting.
    As in safe mode you boot as clean as possible, without many services, drivers, startup programs etc, I would say it's on one of this disabled.
    Can even be a malware. Hard to say.

    This is the first time I have ever seen this type of error. I'll know what to do in the future if I ever see it again.
