Can you tell us how you did this? Have you tried booting into safemode? You can do this from msconfig, but I am not sure you can do that as you have no graphics. I would suggest that as soon as your turn your computer on, you start hitting the F8 key. F8 tells the computer to boot into safe mode with a default configuration. You have to do this at a certain time, but you will likely not be able to see that time, so as soon as you turn your computer on start hitting the F8 key.

Here is a link on starting your computer in safe mode. http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT...rc=sec_doc_nam

Well then my suggestion holds. Attempt to get into Safe mode using the method above. Booting into safe mode should allow your graphics card to be enabled by default. Is it an onboard graphics chip, or a secondary card?

I wish I could help, but do not have any other advice outside of safe mode. If you have a different card , you may try swapping it out and see if it will boot into the default driver.
