HELP!! Displays blank

Windows 8 installed great. It had me deinstall the old Displaylink driver for my 2nd monitor. After 1st boot I downloaded the Displaylink driver for Win 8. Now both monitors are blank.

How can I boot without loading drivers so I can deinstall Dispaylink?

Hi,

From within Windows 7, delete the driver on the Windows 8 partition or drive at \Windows\System32\drivers

If you aren't sure which it is, you can sort them by viewing the detailed view, then adding the Date created column, then click on it. It will have a date of when you installed it. That should help you figure which it is.

I found out that Win 8 does not automatically set up Safe Mode. Can't go back. Did factory reset to Win 7 and clean installed win 8.

the instructions I found online to turn on Safe Mode don't work. Will keep looking.

I don't understand. I said to delete the driver from Windows 7 and didn't say anything about safe mode.

Maybe you were never dual booting at all?

Anyway:

As for safe mode, Brink has the best guide online: http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/2757-safe-mode-start-windows-8-a.html

Option #4 is the goods.
