My monitor appears blurry. I probably should have reached around and done
something from the back. (It is a Trinitron Multiscan 400 PS). But I
decided to try to adjust the driver. I used to have two monitors until one
gave up, and my settings show two. I figured if I could get rid of one,
the video card would work better. I didn't see any way to delete the 2nd
monitor from the settings.
But I did download a video upgrade and tell it to install.
When it rebooted, all the computers on my home LAN no longer connected to
the internet and I had a black screen. I waited for a while and turned
off my computer. My computer showed the video card screen for a long while
and then went dark for a long while. I did a control alt-delete and was
able to get my logon screen. I logged in and got the background with no
foreground at all, not even the task bar.
I hard booted and tried restoring to previous setting.
Stuck. I hard booted and tried safe mode. Stuck after loading
agr440.sys.
Rebooted. From the black screen did a control-alt-delete to get my login
screen. Picked a different user. I got the background screen only. I
did ctl-alt-delete and got the task manager. No processes were found. I
told it to log-off. After a while it asked if I wanted to kill Explorer.
I waited and it logged off.
I logged on to my normal screen. Everything appears to be working. I
haven't yet rebooted.
I still see two monitors in my settings.
What's my next step?
