The drivers actually sit in the C:\Windows\system32\drivers folder and even if you overlayed these drivers I can't see that it would stop you from coming up. Did you try the option "Enable VGA Mode" in the F8 screen? If so and none of the F8 options are allowing you to get to a point where you can troubleshoot this, I believe you have only one option. Load a parallel install. All you have to do is come up with the XP cdrom inserted and run through setup to install the OS, however when it asks you for the folder to install to, give it WINDOWS2 or something like that. Just don't let it install to the WINDOWS folder you now have. Once that is done we can use that OS to fix your other OS. If you decide to do this and get to that point then we'll work offline in IM or PM. I will need you to gather your registry hives for me so that I can look at them through my computer and make some changes and overlay the ones that are down there now. Your other option is to do a reload. Just depends on how much you value your customizations you have made since you installed.</blockquote>
