wonkky windows driver?

[Rick Bradley]

I just updated 6 drivers using the spiffy new tool and now the display will only stay on for about 5 seconds showing only the wallpaper, empty task bar and perhaps a few icons before blinking off for a second then starting again. My restore point isn't much use unless I cab get to it.

Help!

Hi @Rick Bradley First of all, we're very sorry to hear about how this happened as we definitely do not want for anyone to have this type of experience.

I suspect you can resolve this problem by performing a System Restore with Windows in Safe Mode.

Our support team is eager to help you resolve this; do they have permission to contact you via email, using the same address that is registered to your forums account?

I did go into safe mode and tried to reset through CCleaner. Only one driver was listed which was one that I'd done seperately. The restore failed. CCleaner still reports the same seven drivers need updating.

Although I checked prior to running the update it did not create a restore point (nor, foolishly, did I) so my only option is to reset. As this will almost certainly lose a couple of significant programs I'm loathe to do that if there's a way to track down the source of the problem.

Is there any chance that updating the drivers one at a time would work?
