    I hope someone can help me! I've been having trouble with my display and I (stupidly) disabled my vga driver so all I have now is a blank screen. I can't for the life of my figure out how to enable it... I've tried safe mode with command prompt to do a system restore, but my computer keeps getting stuck while booting. I've tried Enable VGA Mode, Safe Mode with Networking, nothing is working! I tried to enable it from the Recovery Console on my Windows CD, but that didn't work (don't think I did it right). Does anyone know how to do this??

    Thanks!

    You can't completely disable the VGA driver. If none is found, the system loads a generic one. Try an external monitor, or use recovery discs.
