You need to post details of your video card and its software driver version,
e.g. is it an ATI

Also if you change the driver to VGA only does the display then work?


How can the OP change the driver if he can't see anything?

Hi...

If in fact it really is starting windows but he just can't see it, then
he can let it start - but power off before windows finishes getting
started. That way he might be able (after a gazillion tries) to boot
into safe mode (which is vga)

Take care.
