I seem to have deleted my graphics drivers so I now have a black screen. Can anyone tell me how to get a picture so that I can perhaps reload the drivers. Thanks for any help.

I am using a monitor and can access the bios in startup. I can see as far as the windows logo then nothing although I can hear the windows opening tune.

You could try a windows recovery disk and attempt to restore to a previous savepoint.

If that doesn't work try to take it to someone who has some spare equipment (a different video card) and see if that works in VGA mode.

It might be a good idea to see if you can access and backup your documents and data files in case you need to do a clean install of windows.

Try this:
-Use a different port of your graphics card (VGA, if available),
-While getting the black screen, disconnect and reconnect the video cable,
-Windows repair, using an Windows DVD,
-Testing a different graphics card,
-And the most funny: blindly updating the driver from device manager, using only the keyboard (Start, devmgmt.msc, Enter then Tab and arrows for automatically updating the driver). You'd need though an working system for following exactly the right steps. Otherwise the result might not be the expected one.

An easy thing to do would be to take it to a reputable repair shop. They would likely have all the equipment necessary to fix it up in minutes. But they would charge for it. They will also have some recovery disks laying about..
