asked on Windows sees video adapter on Laptop but will only use VGASave
I have a Dell Precision M6300 running WinXP Pro SP3. This laptop has an Nvidia QuadroFX 3600M onboard VGA adapter. It had been connected to a docking station, with a second monitor attached. Suddenly, the docking station quit working. Then a Microsoft update was loaded. Now, the laptop will only run with VGASave. I can go into the device manager, and it shows the Nvidia card with the latest drivers. However, Windows refuses to use that adapter. It will not allow me to get out of VGASave mode. If I disable that mode, Windows boots into a blank screen with no video.

I have already done that. Unfortunately, it did not work. Windows still only wants to use vgasave.

Since I solved this myself, what is the next step as far as accepting the solution and points? I want to make sure I follow the correct procedures.
