RE: Start Windows in Safe Mode then enable vgasave

Thats good news - I wouldn't worry about a USB flash drive.

Two options:

1. [safest] What I had in mind is to create a .bat file that you store in startup directory (C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup). This .bat would contain instructions to enable vgasave. Command is 'REG ADD HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\VgaSave /v Start /t REG_DWORD /d 01'

2. [risky - not recommended] Look in ?:\WINDOWS\system32\config - this is where registry data is stored. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM stuff is located in 'system' file. Restore a backup version of 'system' file.

Reinstall boot drive into Dell. On first reboot device sets to enabled but Windows needs a reboot - of course you won't see any of this. But after a few minutes, a second reboot should get you going.
