Black screen because of a video driver when the computer loading.

I tried to change my video driver and now I get a black screen when loading Windows Vista.  How can I regulate the video driver or any other suggestions?

Hello

You can access Mode safe? You start the computer, press F8 repeatedly. Cases in this use System
Restore and/or know last good configuration.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

No registration necessary data and re - install Windows Vista may be the best option if
Here are a few more.

You can save your files by putting the drive in another computer as a 2nd drive (the best) or a
External drive USB enclosure and then backup to removable media such as CD, DVD,
or other USB keys. Of course, a real computer store or your system maker can help to recover
the files.

Or you can use a boot Ubuntu CD to back up data.

Use Ubuntu Live CD to backup files from your Windows computer dead
http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/use-Ubuntu-Live-CD-to-backup-files-from-your-dead-Windows-computer

--------------------------------------------------------------

You can access Mode safe? Repeatedly press F8 as you start? If yes you can try Control Panel
-Double click - Driver tab - click on UPDATE driver - device Manager - map - graph
then right click on the device and UNINSTALL - REBOOT.

A method to try to get to the desktop (try in normal Windows Mode without failure) is
CTRL + ALT + DEL - Manager tasks and tab process EXPLORER.exe and COMPLETE the PROCESS
-then on the Applications tab - lower right kind - new task - in EXPLORER.exe. Safe mode
is accessible by tapping F8 as you start several times. CTRL + SHIFT + ESC will also start task
Manager.

First check this thread in case it is simple and if not to come back to this thread. http://social.answers.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/vistaprograms/thread/50247d5e-0ae0-446c-A1bd-11287fd1478a

Black screen problems are extremely difficult to repair and all patch is usually on a base hit or miss.
That there is no information on a black screen as it is on a blue screen just adds to the
Difficulty. Often using a restore point or Startup Repair will have no effect. You can try a
Google to see the proposed repairs, whom some have worked however these cover a wide
field efforts.

Here's a video of one of them.

Here's another fix
http://blogs.PCMag.com/SecurityWatch/2008/12/the_mysterious_black_screen_of.php

You have a Vista disk? You can try restoring the system to it. If you do not have the disks
the manufacturer of your system will sell them at low prices. Or try in safe mode if you can get there.

You can create a recovery disc or use someone even version (making the system restore it)
must be bootable).

How to create a Vista recovery disk
http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/141820-create-recovery-disc.html

------------------------------------------------

These require the correct Vista discs since you can not start safe mode.

Try the Startup Repair tool-

-----------------------------------------------

If necessary and you can access all ordinary Windows.

You can try an In-Place Upgrade (hopefully save programs and data) or a repair installation
(if all goes well, the data records and need to reinstall programs). Be sure to do a good backup or three.

You can use another DVD that aren't copy protected but you you need to own
Product key.

On-site upgrade
http://vistasupport.MVPs.org/repair_a_vista_installation_using_the_upgrade_option_of_the_vista_dvd.htm

If nothing works, you can make a repair facility that must save the data but you will need to reinstall the programs. This also requires correct Vista disks especially for OEM versions.
You will need to know your product Code.

Another method that works sometimes: at the command prompt, type of Vista startup disk:
(a line type or copy and paste one line at a time and hit enter - enter a bracket)
or "BOLD")

c:

cd\

CD c:\Windows\System32\winevt (there is a space between cd and C :)

Ren LogsOLD Logs (there are spaces between ren and newspapers and Logsold)

RESTART Windows

===================================================================

Sometimes it works:

There are backups in the folder C:\Windows\System32\Config\Regback.

Here is an article for XP and Vista is similar in scope. The config folder and its content should
be rebuilt.

    This does not happen on a particular site... it's pretty random.

    If you haven't tried the "last known good configuration" among the Advanced startup options then do that first.  If this does not help, you must run the System File Checker to search for possible system problems.  Then, you must run the upgrade from the system tool and then see if you are able to run the SP2 update.   Mike - Engineer Support Microsoft Answers

    When you start start pressing F8 until you get the Windows startup options.  Then try "Last known good configuration" see if that helps.  If this does not work, try to F * then try to go to Safe Mode.  If those who do not help, I would start with your XP CD to recovery mode and run "chkdsk/r" then "sfc/scannow".  QQ learn manage!

  • CD/dvd drive does not work - it is recognized when the computer starts, and it is listed in the Device Manager?

    I am running Vista Home Premium on a laptop Compaq Presario F700. It is listed in the list of computers of readers, it is listed in Device Manager. The lites drive that the computer boots so I know it is detected. When you run itunes or media player the player does not open. When I push the drive button it will not open. It opens with a paperclip in the exit hole. It cannot read a CD or a DVD. None of the media players even recognize there is a disc in the drive. I tried to run fixit, but it would not drive either. I tried restoring from a previous backup, without change.

    Hello

    Check / settings (BIOS/CMOS) often F2 so watch the screen as it starts - place CD/DVD
    1st in the boot order (remember to put it at the time where the fact).

    Then put in a DVD to boot Windows and see if the driver works.

    If it doesn't then it's a hardware problem.

    =======================================

    If the drive has worked in the test above, that these can help:

    Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
    a process that solves the problem.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
    Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
    RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue
    below.

    Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward
    cable or slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and

    Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
