Forgive a dumb question, but if there is no display adapter, what is
handling the display??

Nope.  I can't get at the display adapter, even in safe mode, because
there is no display adapter.

John,

Did "safe mode" work?

I actually found the driver disk from the manufacturer.  When I try to
run it, it says something about setting the adapter to VGA mode.
Unfortunately
there is nothing available to change.

Normally you go to My Computer / properties / Hardware / device manager.
It
will then display a list of hardware on the computer.  The Display
Adapter is one of many things.  Even if it is wrong, the "display
adapter" will be there, and when you expand it there will be an
exclamation mark or something saying that you have the wrong driver.

In my case, the entire adapter is missing, just NOT there.  Which means
there is nothing to select to update the driver for.

I have never run into this before.

John,

Check for the adapter in "safe mode" and update the drivers in that
mode.
Have you tried to install the drivers via the setup program provided by
the manufacturer?

I had to "repair" my windows installation a few weeks ago.  In the
middle, it asked for a video driver which I did not have.  I clicked
continue and when it was finished it came up with a "non-native"
adapter, i.e. I could only get 1024x768.  Worse, there is now no
"display adapter" in the device manager.  Just not there at all, which
means I can't go in through that to install the correct drivers.  When I
go in through the desktop, it shows all kinds of conflicts for hardware
and doesn't allow me to install new drivers.

How the heck do I repair this mess?
