Need to install drivers with a black screen

Problem in the body of the post, not the title.

We answered the black screen problem. (The plug is unusual and fell out, much to his embarrassment) We still need to load USB drivers without using the USB ports. Conundrum? We'll try the DVD route.

Init windows whit secure mode (F8), this will probably repair your black screen when you're installing the gpu driver.

He didn't want to run the windows disc for fear it would format everything so I got him to do go into the safe mode and trust that the motherboard/chipset disc would be useful. We did find the drivers on there (he's learning DOS as we go) and with that done he can get back on line to get the autodetect, to stay updated. Even with the disc, the computer said the drivers had not loaded properly, but the device manager showed everything working fine. It doesn't make us like Bill G any better when his program throws red flags at us. Thanks Rebu for seeing my post, and I hope this helps any other newbies out there.
