[QUOTE="bosticm2, post: 1272730, member: 209142"] Thanks for the help everyone. The collective effort proved successful. If you're interested in the fix, here it is. Selecting the correct display resolution (1920 x 1200) in safe mode and restarting the computer was not working correctly. It would result in the same black screen being displayed that I had endured before. For a reason beyond me, and maybe it will make sense to one of you, this worked: In safe mode I selected the display resolution (1600 x 1000) which is same length to width ratio as the 1920 x 1200. It dumbed down the display, was fuzzy but eligible. I then restarted the computer, and it came up in 1600 x 1000 resolution. That was fine, because before all I was getting was a black screen. I then just went to system preferences and changed it back to the higher 1920 x 1200 resolution. Thanks again for all of the troubleshooting help, you all are too generous - Mike [/QUOTE]
