Deleted graphics driver

Microsoft update installed new graphics driver and my lcd monitor didn't likr
it. Well, I deleted driver and now I have no screen, just blank after POST.
How can I restore old driver. I am using vista premium on duo-core HP with
Viewsonic LCD monitor.

Jim,
Boot into safemode. Download and install the latest driver from the card
vendors website and then try booting in normal mode.

Re: Deleted graphics driver

I tried booting in to safe mode , the windows welcome screen shows then the
screen goes black with just the mouse arrow showing. This is a new computer
for me and I don't have the origional vista disks. Although HP does have a
disk d to recover but I cannot get into the windows screen at all.

Re: Deleted graphics driver

Since safe mode does not boot you probably have to do a complete new
installation/restore with your recovery disks. Call HP for assistance.
