I, too, apologize if this is the incorrect place to ask but I have to! In cleaning up my computer lastnight I apparently deleted an application that I needed. I am not the most computer literate so I can't tell you exactly what I have deleted othen than I removed AOL from my computer (which wasn't used as my internet explorer) and now it is telling me I have no driver installed. Can you help? What is a driver? Why is my screen not clear but grey with large images? My icons also changed and look larger than they need to be.

Thanks!

Apparently the video drivers got uninstalled.

To reinstall them, go to Start>Settings>Control Panel>System>Device Manager tab. Double click "Display Adapters" to expand the category, double click whatever is listed there.

Go to the Drivers tab and click the Update Driver button. Step through the wizard, letting Windows look wherever it wants. Hopefully it will find the drivers and install them.

If aol isnt your internet explorer, why do you want the driver back so bad? And your computer may be in safe mode, not sure.
