blank screen with flashing cursor upper left corner

[Guest Damalulu]

I downloaded drivers for a USB cable for my cell phone. Afterwards it said I

needed to restart. I did this. Now the screen is black with a flashing

cursor in the upper left corner. I can't get anywhere. I must have got a

virus or something. What can I do to get into it so I can see what is going

on?

Hi

 

At what point you get the Black screen?

I guess you must have left the CD inside the tray.. please check..

 

If that is not the scenerio please unplug any USB device and then

try..

 

If the above two steps doesnt work then try in safemode

 

To get in to safemode

 

Keep tapping F8 as soon you turn on the computer

Select "Enable VGA Mode" from the Advanced boot options

If you are able to boot in to the desktop then disable the video

adapter

 

To disable the video adapter Click Start -> right click on My Comptuer

-> Properties -> Hardware -> device manager -> right click on the

video adapter and disable

 

Reboot the computer.. You should be able to boot to the desktop
