[AccessD] 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?
