    Whos a silly boy then ?
    I've been fooling about with my
    NT video drivers & have foo(barred)
    NT.

    I've a blue screen with the msg

    Driver Entry Point Not Found

    The \systemroot\system32\drivers\nv4_mini.sys device driver
    couldn't locate the entry point VIDEOPORTDDCMONITORHELPER
    in driver VIDEOPRT.SYS

    it also says to fire up under the /CRASHDEBUG option
    and contact my sys admin.....


    Any ideas how I can retrieve the situation without reinstalling NT
    (I've also got Linux on this box & don't want things to get worse...)

    thanks.

    boot up, press f8 (if i remember correctly, been a while since I looked at NT)
    and then chose "last known good configuration" or summat.

    thanks guys - got it sorted -

    heres how I got it sorted -
    I'd no EBD (natch) so I changed the precedence on the boot process
    to 1-floppy, 2-cdrom & 3-hard drive
    then used the repair disk option on the NT set-up to copy over the system files & reloaded the service pack 6 update on top of that.

    Its working (so far) but its not a production machine so its acceptable.

    thanks again
