Hi there,

I have a Acer Travelmate 360 Series laptop with WinXP home installed on it, today I relised the video card drivers I had installed were really old ones so I downloaded and installed the latest drivers I could find.
The video card is Intel830M, after installing the new drivers without any dramas it then rebooted the computer as it said it would, after loading the WinXP splash screen nothing else shows up on the screen.
I can still hear the system start up and I even typed my password in and accessed my login account but I did this with a blank screen infront of me.

Obviously this was caused by the new video card drivers, is there a way of REVERTING back to the old drivers?

I tried using the system restore point from the windows boot MENU but the same thing happened.
I tried booting into safe mode from the boot menu, but it DOESNT load.
I tried booting with VGA mode from the boot menu but still nothing.
So basically WinXP still loads but nothing appears on the screen after the XP Splash screen.

I remember I downloaded a Linux based OS called Knoppix a while back so I PUT it in my laptop and got it working just fine, I had a look at my hard drives contents and everything is still there.

If someone could help I would appreciate it!

Thanks
Regards MattDid you get the drivers from the Acer site or elsewhere? The drivers you need are here:

No, I actually got them from Intel's website.
Perhaps I've got the wrong ones?Always get them from the manufacturer's website, and never from Microsoft!microsoft has a way of screwing its SELF over, windows is a good example of this, as it runs, it destroy's its self, slowly, but givin time, it will kill its self completly... thus the reason why i dont trust microsoft, cant even program there OS's right...
