Hello yall! 😀 Yesterday I tried to uninstall an Nvidia driver through the "uninstall programs" part of the Control Panel, thinking I wouldn't need it because I have an AMD card and cpu. Turns out, that was not a good idea lol. As it was uninstalling, the screen turned black and now every time I boot up my computer, the POST, BIOS, and Windows logos appear, but the desktop is completely black, and my cursor pops in and out of existence in the black void. Any auggestions? A new program came out 2 days or so ago and I'm DYINGGG to use it. (Geek Squad might take weeks :{ ) Thanks yall! 😀
 
Do you know exactly what you uninstalled? Not all nVidia drivers are for a video card. Or did you change your card from an nVidia to an AMD one?

After Windows has tried to load for a bit, hit Ctr - Alt - Del, start Task Manager, look for explorer.exe and end that task. Then go back to Task Manager, click New Task in Applications tab and type in explorer.exe, see if that fixes things.
