Some systems may not have that option. In VGA mode at device manager I deleted the video card and let Windows auto detect on reboot. Make sure you have the driver handy just incase Windows can’t find it. Might take a couple of boots to get this working. You may have to select a resolution after the driver is installed, or let Windows set the resolution.

This is a Kernal update so it could effect the entire PC. I have seen video, network, USB and parallel drivers for the devices freeze the system. Deleting the device and letting Windows auto detect on reboot usually fixes the problem, make sure you have the correct drivers, but the USB printing issues keep coming back. For the printing, in services just stopping and restarting usually get it going again but may stop after the system was shutdown.

I called Dell technical support, and it is aware of the problem. In order to restart my computer, I had to go to the control panel and remove this update. Once I do this, my computer functions, but within 24 hours, the computer crashes after my computer gets this update.

Other than that, I recommend using Windows Update to have it auto apply. If you need it, it will install. If not, it won't be displayed.

I then tried the Hotfix from Microsoft and that failed too, giving me a “path/filename not found” error.

The error log stated “Hotfix disabled”. I did a search on the Internet but didn't see a way to resolve this issue.

Any ideas?
