              Alright so I uninstalled Nvidia and used system restore. I can start up not but now i have HORRIBLE graphics.

              edit: I cant change my color back to high (32 bit) or my resolution any higher.

              safe mode has better graphics

              i think its a problem with my graphics driver, any ideas?

                  Go here: http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us
                  Select your nVidia model, Windows version, download driver, and install.
