Can't update video driver in safe mood
My laptop will no longer boot into Windows. it goes into a black screen after the Windows logo appears. The laptop has no problems opening Windows in Safe Mode, however. From another posting on this site, it appears that the problem is with the video driver. I currently have a NVideo GeForce 560m. While being in Safe Mode Network, I downloaded the latest driver for the NVideo, however I get this error message when trying to install it: 'Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable packages for Visual Studio cannot be installed in safe mode.'
Any thoughts how I might get the video screen working again? I've tried a system restore. Afterwards Windows did load normally for three seconds then I got a blue screen crash, and then it hasn't opened normally again.
Thanks!
