Boot into VGA mode and remove any video driver, and just install plain
ol' VGA driver?  Booting into VGA mode doesn't change anything, I
think....

OK, should have waited a minute for the ole brain to think it out...

When NT comes up there are two boot options:

(1) "regular ole" NT (the default)
(2) VGA NT

I selected # 2 VGA and it came up OK looking rather goofy, naturally and
I
went into Start/Settings/Control Panel/Display and reset that and then
rebooted and let it take the default #1 and I'm back to the BLACK
screen...

Any ideas ?

Thanks !

Chuck

Hi Folks,

 

Had a Compaq Deskpro do something weird today. It boots up, you see if
splash the Compaq screen, you can hit F10 and go into configuration,
etc.
and all is fine. Exit that and it does the memory check (blue screen for
a
while) then as that finishes and Windows should load, the screen goes
BLACK
and the hard drive continues to rattle along for some time. So I am
thinking
a VGA driver got creamed or something ? Been a while since I've messed
with
this kind of stuff - anyone know a way around this ?

 

Running Windows NT.

 

Thanks !

 

Chuck
