My learned friends,
I attempted to follow the advice of friend db. I device manager I
uninstalled the display device which was for my graphics card. Is this was
meant when you said I should uninstall my video board?
Also, I uninstalled the VGA. On restart, the windows logo and loading bar
was still heavily distorted, but I did get straight through to my desktop.
When I got to the desktop, the bottom right corner of the screen indicated
that 1. “Found New Hardware, Video Controller (VGA Compatible)” and after
that 2. “Found New Hardware, NVIDIA GeForce 3 Ti500.
As I fear that any restart does not guarantee that I will be able to get
back into windows. I ask for your advice as to the next step?
PS. Is friend Bob I correct in that, I need to replace the card? Is there
nothing that can be done without such meansures?

this is a simple issue.
because the symptoms
occur
a) soon after you power up
and
b) hardware failure, eg flickering.
it is basically unfair for
everyone to provide futile
suggestions when the basic
functionality of your o.s. has
not yet been determined.
you mentioned nvidia, so this
hardware upgrade / enhancement
may or may not be the problem.
therefore make sure you can
boot up to your standardized
o.s. without difficulties.
what i suggest to do is to
uninstall your video board
and use the standard video
port.
in addition, make sure
you do not have any additional
add - ons connected to your system
and boot up.
1) if the o.s. is functional then
you know where the problem is..
2) if the o.s. is dysfunctional, then
the issue of regaining a functional
o.s. is the priority at this time.

My learned friends,
I have had to repost this as I cannot find the original post. I include,
details plus some additional information that I hope will enable you to help
me.
I cannot get access to windows in normal mode. Just before he sign in screen
would normally come up, the screen remains black and the mouse curser stays
in the middle of the screen and I am completely locked out; neither the mouse
nor the key board work. Also during the boot up the screen flickers, which
was not the case before. I can get in via safe, and the resolution and
colours are all distorted. The colours bleed into one another and there are
purple dots or specs all over the screen. I have tried a system restore to no
avail.
Needless to say I am worried about this. My PC is running windows xp home
ed. Service pack 2.
2.2GHZ P4
64MB Nvidia Geforce 3
I would like to know how to fix the problem, regarding, 1) getting into
windows in normal mode and also 2) the screen resolution and display issue.
Modification : The message I get says something, to the best of my
recollection, along the lines of:
Windows Display Driver
"The … display driver has stopped working normally. Save your work and
reboot the system to restore full display functionality. The next time you
reboot the machine a box will be displayed giving you a chance to upload data
about this failure to Microsoft."
However If I reboot. I am not always able to gain access to windows.. I have
only managed to gain access by a series of restarts and in the System
configuration utility opting for a Normal startup rather than a selective
startup. This seems to only temporarily solve the issue.
Any ideas?
