can you run a system restore?

do they work in safemode?

if you're running Windows 2000/XP, reboot, pop in the OS CD, and do a repair-install

First thing you always do is try safe mode, if that works you know it is a driver problem that is really messing everything up. But in this case it looks like system restore is the best solution though.

that's not true at all, just because safe mode works doesn't mean squat, windows loads half of the stuff it needs to for safe mode, hence the name. You've got things from shutting off your networking to making your startup programs not load, etc... doesn't mean at all that it's just a driver problem
