Hi all this is my first post since joining so I’m hoping I might be able to get some good advice to help me…
My problem: I was working with the video card and then disabled it. I disabled by going to:
"Control panel","display", "settings", "advanced", "adapter" "properties" "device usage" : selected disable device... windows now works but I have no display – only a black screen.
A member known as ‘Spike’ kindly described the keystrokes to find your way to device manager and subsequently to the display adapter to enable it. Unfortunately after completing these steps I still have a black screen, I noted that after completing the steps my computer never re-booted itself; I have to manually restart.
I also searched and found a posting from ‘glowingnissan07’ whom noted that this method also did not work in their case. They explained that a “Microsoft Question box” sounded on some attempts but on other attempts there was no sound – could this be that the sound appears when you click disable? and when you select enable no sound comes on?? If so I may be correctly selecting to ‘enable’ the display adapter but this won’t solve my problem.
I have tried several things including:
Safe mode but it stalls half way through
VGA mode
I tried to repair / reinstall windows (booting from a CD) in an effort to enable the driver to the default windows set-up. Windows successfully reinstalled and does work however I have a black display screen on my monitor – the sound works fine though!
I also tried removing the graphics card and booting without it and then with it placed back in, in a hope that the system may detect it as a new device – still the same problem!
I tried to re-install my nvidia display driver but still no joy.
I wonder if anyone has came across this problem before and managed to solve it – any help would be greatly appreciated as I don’t have a lot of computer experience. Thanks in advance
