My laptop (win xp home, Inspiron 1300) was working ok.
I used Drivermax to update my drivers. downloaded and installed a few. Tried to reboot laptop and so far the screen stays blank.(black) (been loading for ages) It does boot in safe mode. I have tried system restore but doesn`t appear to help (tried in safe mode) Tried last known good configuration ..no luck Please can anyone help as I am going abroad in 3 days and need my laptop. |

Nope can`t get online with laptop, tried network/safe mode.
The driver downloaded to my PC is 32-bit self extractor module. It has not downloaded as a zip file (at least I don`t think so) |
