Try proceeding as if you had a DISPLAY ADAPTER fault:


Open the Device Manager -

START > SETTINGS > CONTROL PANEL > SYSTEM > DEVICE MANAGER


In Device Manager, highlight the Display Adapter -

1. Click on the "+" sign next to 'Display Adapter'.
2. Click on the actual (named) adapter.
3. Then delete the named adapter by clicking "Remove".

If there are any entries with an exclamation mark against them (which indicates a fault), remove those entries also, in the same way.

Then reboot. Windows will automatically re-install the correct drivers in the course of the reboot. You may have to point the install wizard to the location of the proper driver, which is probably one of these locations -

C:\WINDOWS
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\IOSUBSYS
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS

The files might already be on your hard disk, but not properly installed. If so, the above procedure should fix the problem.
