    Using two programs that modify audio.
    1: Viper4Windows for better sound quality and bass regulations and that.
    2: MorphVOX Pro to modify the voice and use soundboards.
If the harddrive is busy/active youll have to wait it out.

Sometimes theres allot to do and unfortunately its doing it while there is no display making you believe something's wrong.

If the harddrive is calm, and there is still no video, then you'll have to start the computer in safe mode.

Depending on your laptop this may be easy or difficult depending on how new your laptop is and the boot speed..

Get into safe mode and uninstall your video drivers, then reboot.

Safe mode is usually entered by repeatedly pressing F8 during boot, but on newer systems it moves too fast..

Others have has success wailing on the spacebar during boot causing windows to respond as if a boot error and gives you the diagnostics option and safemode.

Well 2 things: 1: It did not respond after 30 minutes. 2: Solved. I downloaded the drivers with SlimDrivers, and these were outdated, so i downloaded the new, working from AMD, and installed it in Express. Worked.

Good job, and thanks for mentioning Slim Drivers, I forgot about that useful program..
