    Hi. I have a toshiba satellite A200 that has the Video Adapter Mobile Intel(R) 965 Express Chipset Family (256 MB) I bought my computer in Australia SATELLITE A200 (PSAF3A-08202D) with windows xp.
    The computer started to be very slow and since i had a lot of programs i didnt wanted anymore i restored it to the out of box state.

    The problem is that the screen went black after the windows logo. It only worked in safe mode. I deleted the drivers of the display adapters and it works but without a graphics card.
    Now i cant play games or watch movies. Everytime I try to install the driver, no matter if its from the cd, the toshiba webpage or the intel webpage it always restarts with black screen.
    I tried to disable the adapter instead of uninstalling it. When I enable it, it accepts it and it will say its working but just with 640x480 screen resolution. If I try to put it higher it always goes black.
    Can anyone help me? Thanks so much
