﻿In the case that the driver screwed up the visual output you might need to start Windows in Save Mode to be able to follow the following steps. To do this, start the computer and keep pressing the [F8]-key over and over again until Windows prompts you for imput. Then press the [enter]-key, wait a second and then press the [enter]-key again. Windows will now start with it's own VGA-driver.

=========================================================
deactivating the driver for the coming booting sequences:
=========================================================

00. step:
---------
	open the Device Manager

01. step:
---------
	Right click on the entry for the graphic circuit which is controlled by the driver. The caption should start with "bus: 0x...".

02. step:
---------
	select "deinstall..."

03. step:
---------
	confirm the choice to uninstall

04. step:
---------
	reject/don't reboot

05. step:
---------
	close the Device Manager

======================================
deleting the files from the hard disc:
======================================

10. step:
---------
	open the Windows Explorer

11. step:
---------
	go to "C:\WINNT\inf\"

12. step:
---------
	Find the file "oem*.inf". "*" is a placeholder for a number.

13. step:
---------
	Open the file in a text editor and check whether it contains these 2 lines somewhere at the beginning of the file:
		Class = Display
		Provider = "OnTheServer.de"

	If the file doesn't contain these 2 lines then it's the wrong file and a different "oem*.inf" needs to be found.

14. step:
---------
	Close the text editor with the open "oem*.inf"-file.

15. step:
---------
	Delete 2 file:
		"oem*.inf" and
		"oem*.PNF"

	Don't delete additional "oem*.inf"-files with a different/wrong number because they are for other drivers.

16. step:
---------
	still in the Windows Explorer go to "C:\WINNT\system32\drivers\"

17. step:
---------
	delete the file "graphic.sys"

18. step:
---------
	close the Windows Explorer

cleaning up the registry:
=========================

20. step:
---------
	Open the Registry Editor 32 (press "Start" -> "run..." and then enter "regedt32").

	It will be easier if you really use the Registry Editor 32 ("regedt32") and not the Registry Editor ("regedit") at a later step to remove a line from a value.

21. step:
---------
	go to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\"

22. step:
---------
	delete the key/directory "graphic" and all it's content

23. step:
---------
	still in the Registry Editor 32 go to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Eventlog\System\"

24. step:
---------
	Edit the value "Sources" by removing the line "graphic" (and the line break at the end of the line). To do this, double click on "Sources".

25. step:
---------
	still in the Registry Editor 32 stay at "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Eventlog\System\"

26. step:
---------
	delete the key/directory "graphic" and all it's content

27. step:
---------
	go to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Hardware Profiles\0001\System\CurrentControlSet\SERVICES\"

28. step:
