I am So SCREWED.

I just uninstalled a Raedon 7500 video card from my Windows 2000 professional machine, as I returned the card. What I did In W2K device manager, I disabled the 'Raedon 7500 Video Display.' I then turned off the pc and removed the card and returned the card to the store were I bought it.

Then when I turned the PC on when I got home, I keep on getting a windows 2000 Blue screen of death error message, saying: Inaccessible Video Driver (and then a bunch of error codes). I can't boot into my Win2k Pro rig, and I've tried Emergency Repair Disk & the Emergency Boot disk set. Yet both times I tried I still get the same error message and I can't get into Windows.

Anyone know any idea of how I can stop windows from obsessively looking for this driver for the card that doesn't exist; and do all of this without (so far) being able to get into Windows 2000 Professional????

Thanks a lot and someone please help me out.

boot into "safe mode" go into device manager and "uninstall" the display adapter(radeon 7500). Reboot and you should be able to boot normally into windows and install the proper diver for your new card.

Thanks for the tip, but I have already tried booting into safe mode and I get the same error message 'Video Driver failed to initialize.' Even in safe mode!! I have tried every option in the safe mode menue, and still the same result. Any other thoughts; anyone, please. Thanks again.
