Laptop starts, but screen is black.
I'm going on a trip tommorow so I am in need of a fast response. Last night I was mulling around on my laptop, loading some things on to it. I downloaded Links 2003 demo, and I think i changed the graphic driver. This morning I started up my laptop, and all there is, is a black screen. I can't do anything. Help please!

You didn't tell us what the brand/model is, but have you tried toggling the display output?(this would normally be a function key that changes the display from LCD to VGA port, etc... such as the FN+F8 does for Dell machines)
Also, have you tried an external monitor? Does the screen start black, or does it lose picture only after it starts to Boot? |

Sorry about that. It's a Pentium II IBM Windows XP Laptop.
It starts black. Doesn't fade it just starts that way. |
