I got a laptop with a busted screen. I have just reinstalled the original software with Vista. Now, when I boot in a safe mode, the system prompts me to switch wo a normal mode since "Windows ar not fully installed". However, when I do that, it toggles the video to the broken screen and I can not toggle it back. Is there any way to disable video drivers, so it will stick to VGA output?
... have you tried tapping <Fn> + another <key> from top row of keyboard? (to toggle back) ...it should have a monitor icon on it

... try to enter the bios, I am guessing that @ bootup you see some sort of post on the monitor(?)
... if you can enter and select a vga setting(?)

I believe, we set some display parameter to 'both', but it did not help either: for some reason it automatically switches from VGA to the dead screen. The guy at the computer store that tried to fix the problem was totally shocked by this and he really knew what he was doing. I need some hacker to think about this phenomenon. It must be something simple but not obvious.

... might be worth setting it to just vga(?)

You are missing the point: I can't get to Vista. I can only get to boot section and then I lose my video. If I could make my video stay on VGA after I boot, it would accomplish my goals.
