[GH85Carrera]

Dang.

We got en email from the vendor of one of our programs that cost more than my 914 did new. They suggested we can install an update to the graphic card that does the 3D. OK, so I did. In the middle of the video card update the screen went dark as is typical for a video card driver update. The bad news is all we had to look at was the mouse pointer on a black background.

Of course our pilot is up flying in overcast weather to get a project done for a client that is all hot and bothered to get the data as soon as possible. We have to get the computer up and running to do the job. I could not even get the system to show me a BIOS screen. Just darkness. Arrrggghhhh

Fortunately we have an a good looking likeable very humble and modest genius of a guy that does the computer tech support around here. I had to dig around to find an old video card that is pretty basic and runs 1024x768 max res but it let me get into Windows 10 and noodle around. I finally found the phantom driver and killed it with extreme prejudice. I then deleted all the video drivers for the cards that did not want to work.

Then reinstall one of the huge video cards and install the drivers, install the second card and take out the ancient card and reset all the settings. Just a simple 10 minute update took 5 hours. We are back up and waiting on the data from the pilot.
