The LCD is still light up, but dark.. we have to "put the head of a flashlight right down on the display to see it"... I don't know much about computers, but I'm guessing the display card is crashed or something?:cry: sorry for my poor...

Well I did the ultimate stupid thing I accidentally uninstalled the driver for my sound device and now I don't have one. I am going to try a full restore to get it back. Maybe that will fix the other problem as well . If anyone has a better idea please let me know.

I have Vista Home Basic and until recently have used the VGA monitor driver which comes with Vista, instead of using the Intel 945 driver which is the default monitor driver on my laptop. This is because I have some software which needs to use “full screen� mode, and which won’t work if you attempt to open the software in a window. (The VGA driver will work in full screen mode, but the...

Hi all, I seem to be in an endless loop with RC2 and my internal graphics card. Unfortunately, my eMachines doesn't have an true "Disable Internal Graphics" command in the BIOS. I'm currently using a dedicated graphics card for Vista. However, Vista keeps finding the internal graphics and keeps loading the drivers which turn aero off and reverts me to Vista basic (ughh). Rebooting usually...
