Hay I reimaged my hp dv2000 laptop and my nvidia gpu died and I need to disable it so my laptop will boot. I cant boot in safe mode because it says I need to finish the vista setup and I cant finish that because it wants to boot with the video card. So is there any way I can boot with the video card off. I do have a BB Capture Driver on my laptop but my pc wont boot with that one unless I disable the nvidia one. So all I am asking is how can I disable the vidoe card in command prompt. I do have my recovery cd.


Thanks.

Re: Disable drivers in command prompt

If you disable the graphics driver, you will see nothing on the screen. What are you going to do from there?

I know of no procedure to disable drivers in cmd. The way to disable device drivers is to uninstall them in Device Manager.

But I suspect that you have a different problem all together. What exactly is happening at boot time.

When you say "video card" I assume you mean the onboard graphics since most laptops don't have a discrete graphics card. Leaving the graphics as is or disabling the graphics isn't going to help you since you won't be able to see anything in either case. I don't know what symptoms are telling you the graphics died.

I got looking around and I guess you have the Nvidia GeForce Go 7200 option. It seems a lot of people have had problems with the graphics on this model.

I don't know if you can disable it in the BIOS. You would just have to look.

I also see there's a Setup Utility that you can access by hitting F10 at boot. Maybe that has some options.

Just some ideas.

F10 didn't take you to the Setup Utility?

Since you are now able to boot into Windows, you can go to Device Manager, Display Adapters, select the NVIDIA device, and, under the Driver tab, select Disable This Device.
