When display drivers were deleted in Device Mgr, no Display Adapter line remained. Therefore, could not "update driver" as suggested. Add New Hardware not work in Safe Mode.

Computer freezes in Startup before it gets to installing new display driver. Cannot install driver in Safe Mode. How install driver? Demetri Kolokotronis Hi, When in Safe Mode, install the generic VGA 16 color driver, this should work with ANY video card. (It is what windows uses when starting in safe mode, but select it as the one to use always). To do this, go into device manager, then choose display adapter, properties, Driver Tab....then click "update driver", and click the dot next to "Display a list of all drivers in a specific location....", and click "next". Then click the dot next to "Show All Hardware", and click next. Then under Manufacturers, choose (Standard Display Types) at the top of the list, and under Models, choose Standard Display Adapter (VGA), and click next...then OK to finish..... Using that driver, it should boot in normal mode, and you can install the proper driver from there....
