Hi all, something really wierd just hapenned and I can't help it but to write it down here in search of help.
I just installed the latest Nvidia driver (177.92) for my XP ,32 bit, and the whole screen just went beserk on me, flickering, totally blank, and at one point the computer went dead, not allowing me to remove the bad driver.
It would have been an easy case by just booting into safe mode and uninstalling the offending driver. BUT, I've got a dual boot (Vista/XP) where while booting into safe mode it automatically gets me into vista. So I can't get inside xp to delete the driver.
Is there a way to remove the bad driver from within Vista? If so, where, within XP are those files located? I'm guessing that as soon as the bad driver's files are deleted XP will revert to it's generic drivers and allow me to re-instal good drivers.
I would very much appreciate your input, thank you.
