Hmm, it looks like there ISN'T a solution to the "infinite loop" problem - at least, not one that I can implement. I can't get in to delete the drivers, because the machine hangs. The driver is maintained when I do a reinstall. Taking out the video card (even if I could do it) wouldn't help.
So, this £120 spent on Windows XP seems not to have been one of the best moves in my life, because it's going to cost me another £150 getting a professional to fix the carnage that's been created. We're getting the the level where it would have been cheaper to buy a new machine. Except that now, of course, it's too damned late.
It's the utter waste of time that upsets me. That's part of my life gone, wasted, all because of Microsoft.
Not happy. Definitely not, not happy. I may vanish for a few weeks.
