Hello All.

I had a booting problem with my PC. I could not start my operation system in
normal mode. It was working only in Safe mode. Also when windows start I had
a following error message: "The procedure entry point ThunkConnect32 could
not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll"

I searched Microsoft Knowledge Base and found article 330159 that explained
my NVIDIA display card issue.
Microsoft subjected to reinstall video card drivers. I found the correct
drivers and reinstalled it. After this, my PC won’t boot at all. Even in Safe
mode. Black screen appeared and then windows hang. I have to kill the power
to turn off. Please help.

Thanks,

Val
