John, What video adapter do you have? I just recently had this happen with a customer's PC. If the adapter used to work with the same version of windows then I'd suggest you go into Safe Mode and remove the drivers (and the device itself) from device manager. Reboot into normal mode and windows should find the "new" video device and load the appropriate drivers. If Windows doesn't have a driver for it included in its sources and you don't have a OEM (or otherwise) driver disk from the manufacturer then you can normally download them from the web if you know which adapter it is.
