Screwed up My GFX Card Trying to update it

[SMlFFY]

OK guys here's the problem.
I have a 9500 non-pro, BIOS modded to 9700 non-pro.
While trying to update the Drivers (after removing the old ones with Driver Cleaner), I have somehow lost my screen (15" CRT) !!!!!!

My PC said I had a problem with my GFX card drivers not installed correctly.

So I went to Display Properties and found :-
Standard VGA Driver
and 9500>9700 Driver(Second Monitor) installed.
So I unistalled the Std VGA Driver, thinking it would then use the other driver automatically.

But what it seems to have done is to think it has a 2nd monitor installed.
When I boot my PC up, I can see the Windows loading screen, but once loaded the screen goes blank.

If I type in my login password I can hear windows logging me on(the default login sound).
How do I sort this one out.

Also I have ordered an X850 Pro, which will be here Wednesday, sometime.
Will installing this GFX Card reset the driver installation?
Thanks in advance Guys.

well i know when replacing gcards you should remove the drivers, but in ** case not possible, anyway i would have thought windows woudl detect the new graphics card and just set default settings maybe, not sure tho

No I only have one
Realised what I had done, I had deleted the Primary monitor driver !!!!!!!
So it was using the second (non-existent) monitor to boot up on...
Sorted it out thou'


Bought an X850PRO and modded it to XT specs.

And start to build a PC for my 4yr old.
