Safe mode crashes
I am in a very unussual situation.
When I start my Laptop for a safe mode I hold the F8 key as it reboots, it brings me to the Choice screen. With an arrow Key, I direct it to SAFE MODE
hit the enter key and neccessary drivers list is displayed in black, no problems. Then it goes straight to discovery mode, runs the diagnostics and asks me to recover, instead of SAFE MODE so that I can work on Uninstall graphic adapter and install one that supports WIN 7, instead of Standard VGA Graphic Adapter.
If anyone knows any otherway of doing this without having to go to SAFE MODE Please advice... I am out of witts now.
Please help.Code:1) downloading latest drivers (v14.19.50) for XP from Intel's site and extracting them to a separate folder 2) booting W7 in the safe mode 3) Device Manager -> Video Adapter (VGA compatible) -> Properties 4) Driver -> Update driver -> Browse -> Let me pick -> Display adapters -> Have disk -> give path to "win2000" folder of the extracted driver 5) After you get error about driver installation, in Device Manager click on "Scan for new hardware" 6) Boot your W7 in "Disable driver signing enforcement" mode
