Installing driver when windows won't boot
I apologize for the typo on the thread title
I installed a new beta graphics driver (zonescreen), this caused a BSOD. Now my computer wiill not boot, it gets past POST, and I can get into BIOS and a Ubuntu Live session, but if I try to boot into windows, I get a blinking white underscore in the top left corner for a few seconds, then a black screen until it restarts about 5 minutes later. What I want to know is if there is a way to either reinstall, update, or rollback the driver, without being able to boot. |

Hi geekman2,
Have you tried booting into Advanced Boot Options (F8) and choosing Last Known Good Configuration? Quote:
Last Known Good Configuration:
Starts Windows 7 with the most recent registry and driver configurations that worked successfully. Every time you turn your computer off and Windows 7 shuts down successfully, important system settings are saved in the registry. You can use those settings to start your computer if a problem occurs. For example, if a new driver for your video card is causing problems, or an incorrect registry setting is preventing Windows 7 from starting correctly, you can restart your computer using Last Known Good Configuration. Please follow this tutorial:  https://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/666-advanced-boot-options.htmlThen once booted you can remove the driver. cheers Dave |

I can't get to the f8 options, I've tried many times, I can get into and control BIOS, so I know my keyboard works, I am obtaining a install disc to try "repair"
