can't get past disk check- driver troubles

[Guest]

hi
when installing a new video card, i was having problems getting windows to
recognize the new video card. the card's manual suggested disabling on-board
graphics drivers or capabilities in this situation. so, i (stupidly) disabled
the graphics drivers/capabilities in windows. now, when i boot up, i can't
get beyond the blue disk check screen, whether i go thru w/ disk check or
not. windows makes the "happy start-up" sound, but the screen stays frozen at
the disc check. i've tried adjusting BIOS settings, put the old video card
back in, and nothing's helped. anyone have any ideas how to fix this?
to complicate things further, i no longer have the discs that came w/ the
motherboard, etc...they got lost in a move a couple years ago...

many thanks,
rob

How did you disable the graphics drivers/capabilities in windows. Please
provide steps.
Did you modify the registry? Use Control Panel | Display .... ?

yes, i did it in Control Panel. there was a small dropdown menu for each
device/driver, and i changed the selection from "use this device (enable)" to
"do not use this device (disable)". i think the driver was called VGA Save.

thanks,
