Hi,

I have been very stupid. I am trying to get my NVIDIA card working in my
pc. However the card will not install properly and so it is using the
default adapter. I thought I had solved it and consequently disabled the
default adapter...

After the requested restart, windows is running but the monitor is blank
(power is on). So what I have done is to disallow the adapter...and I
need
to re-allow it. This would be simple enough to do however its impossible
to
do if you cannot see what you are doing! Any suggestions?!

I've tried going through the procedure on another machine and noting
down
the shortcuts.. but this has not worked.. There must be an easier way?

Start in Safe Mode and re-enable the default driver??

If he disabled the onboard adapter in the bios (which I suspect) he won't
be
able to get into safe mode...

To the OP: If you disabled the onboard video in the bios you need to get
out the manual for the computer (or go online to the manufacturer's web
site) to find out how to reset the bios on the computer using the jumper
on
the computer's motherboard. Once you figure out how to reset the bios do
so
and the onboard video should start to work again.

Let us know if this is the issue and if this information helps or further
help is needed. If further help is needed you need to post at the minimum
the make and full model information of the computer.

The OP stated that they had disable the default adapter. I have done
this inside Windows Device Manager once and no display ever was
possible until I re-activated it.

Agree, and some time the only way to re-enable from within Windows is to
total reinstall Windows as a repair install doesn't always fix it.
Hopefully it was a bios reset fix.
