ok so i was reinsalling the drivers for my his x1950pro agp on vista hp64 and i went off to make a cup of tea

when i got back to my pc my monitor just displayed "out of range" in a box

so i reset it and it loaded up but at the log on screen the screen goes blank and again the message "out of range" but i can still hear the start up sound

this happened before when i plugged in by hdtv and i know all it means is that the resolution is not supported by my monitor. last time i plugged in my old monitor and changed the res and fixed it. but neither monitor works this time and to plug in my hdtv i need to use s-video so i cant do that either

i can load up in safe mode, and i tried driver cleaner but i still get the same results, and i cant install any drivers in safe mode

im trying to find the system restore in vista but i cant :rolleyes:

so....

any ideas?

any help at all appreciated :)

EDIT

ok i found the system restore, and no ******* restore points are found!! wtf???! i thought vista made one every time you installed something?

also when i try to install the drivers in safe mode i get the error "failed to load detection driver" if thats any help :(

@ timmy1998, sometimes going from Nvidia to ATI or vice versa is a nightmare, even with driver cleaner that I think actually can break things lol, some have had to fully format PC.
