That is kafkaesque
My screen is blank, and you tell me to click on stuff?
I feel your pain, Rob ;-)
It's also weird how the instructions keep telling you to kill explorer.exe. That made me check the URL to see if this was some kind of phishing scam. But no, Microsoft really did this.
The only one that's even a little reasonable is to reboot the computer in safe mode. You don't have to see the screen to click the reset button, if it has one, or cycle the power, or kick it. If you get a low-rez screen in safe mode then the hardware is probably OK, and you need to troubleshoot the video driver.
Good luck man.
