Hello, Thanks for the reply. The problem is that all of the video drivers were removed including the vgasafe driver. So I only find a few items in the list that "might" match. they are nv set to manual, nvsvc set to auto, ati2mtag, atimtag, and atimtai all set to manual. I noticed that viaagp and viaide are both set to disable. I have a total of 17 items that are disabled. I will post the list if it helps. I have BartPE running on the laptop now. So I looked at the bootlog and can see that vga.sys is not installed. I have no idea how to start it. I have tried to copy vga.sys, vga.drv, and vga.dll from the install disk into system32 and system32\drivers for the vga.sys file. But that did not help. Thanks, Jerry

Hello, I tried to use enable vga but ALL safe modes failed. I tried doing a repair install but that gave me a partial fix. Instead of safe mode listing files and freezing, it now has a bar at the bottom go across than it freezes. I just did the bootlog option using the safemode:minimal and I now have a bootlog. It is very large. What should I be looking for in the file? Where do I start? Thanks, Jerry

Hello, I have a Dell Inspiron 8100 Laptop running XP Home. The vga driver has been disabled. After bootup all I get is a black screen. None of the safe modes work. I can get into recovery. How do I re-enable the VGA driver? Thanks, Jerry
