Please help with video driver problem
Alright this is a good one.
I've broken computers before, but I've outdone myself creatively on this one. I'm almost proud.
Here's the deal...
I was trying to update the driver of my lilliput. Somehow though I got into the wrong screen in the driver details and clicked on "STOP DRIVER".
Well you see where this is going. The driver shut off, so the monitor went off. It's easy to fix....IF YOU CAN SEE THE SCREEN!!!
When you can't see the screen...WAY harder to get back to that menu and click on the START DRIVER button.
I tried to boot up in safe mode to fix it...but of course...safe mode doesn't work. I don't mean that the driver still doesn't work, I mean the computer won't boot up in safe mode. At all. It hangs up during the part where it runs down the list of .sys files.
The computer works fine. It boots up. I can hear my start up and shut down sounds. I can control winamp through the keyboard. So it works. I just can't see anything.
Any thoughts on how to fix this? The best I've got so far is to try and figure out the key strokes I can use to get to that menu on my desktop, then go to the car and type in that same sequence of keystrokes and see if I get lucky. But that's all I got.
