Title: Windows 7 has entered on repair mode and loaded a generic video driver
Post by: ZackFF7 on June 15, 2022, 06:24:27 pm

Hi!
I have Atom-15 and CRT Emudriver on Windows 7.
I think my question is more about Windows, I want to know if there is a way to disable all video drivers from Windows and keep only Radeon CRT Emudriver?

I like it so much, but I want more safety.

Thank you!

The reason why Windows loads the generic video driver is "safety". It would be pretty hard to use Windows with no video driver at all (you could remote desktop in over a LAN).

Windows won't crash all that often unless you have other problems going on. Just get a VGA compatible monitor, re-install the CRTEMU drivers, and carry on!

Seems a bit like disconnecting that "annoying" smoke alarm.

Speaking of which, time to change the batteries. Thanks for the reminder!
