IE8 and Vista boot up issue

I attempted the IE8 upgrade on my 64 bit Vista system, unaware of the issues
associated with this combination. When I try to boot up my system, it goes
through the boot process (normal or safe mode) but upon completion, the
screen goes completely black. I can tell the system is running in the
background, I just can't see anything and therefore cannot do the Uninstall
process.

Does anyone have any knowledge on this? What can I do to be able to see the
screen again once it's booted up?

Thanks in advance for your help-
Beth

So you have a VGA mode display for the boot menu?

In case that "black" is just an empty desktop try pressing Ctrl-Alt-Delete.

If you can get into the Boot menu try requesting VGA mode be used
after the boot too.
