After deleting display drivers Explorer would crash before I could do
anything. Could boot into Safe Mode, but Windows will not install drivers
in Safe Mode. Your point that "Windows should be able to start up using
its onboard VGA standard video display so that you can install drivers."
is what I wanted to do: get back to VGA standard video display, and with
computer running , go from there. I managed to figure out a way to
install driver, but continued to have problems, and reformatted and
reinstalled everything. Could not use Goback, if I had it, as drive is
too small.
