This totally sucks

[MAME]

my mom's computer was fvcked by Aurora and I'm trying to tech support over the phone. I got her in to safe mode but since her LCD has a DVI connection, it won't display in Safe Mode by default (it looks for VGA).

So without a VGA cable, is it possible to make safe mode show up on her lcd?

If it's not the dvi/vga cable, then why would the computer turn to a black screen when entering safe mode?

first of all, what the heck is aurora?

and most monitors come with a cable. she must have one somewhere.

My LCD works with DVI under safe mode.

Ha... be happy that this "problem" is your main concern

It doesn't make sense that only VGA will display in Safe Mode...

I really can't say for sure on her computer since I'm 600 miles away, but on my LCD, DVI will not show up in safe mode. I have to plug in my VGA cable

Thanks, I'll check it out sometime if I know of someone who has the same problem.


I just found some steps about it online. Seemed to work pretty well (except for safe mode attempt)
