1.Click 'Start' and in 'Search Box' type 'cmd'. The result will show on top. Right-click on 'cmd' and choose "Run as Administrator". If your account does not have admin rights you might be prompted to enter username and password. I used account that already has administrator privileges.

3. IYou will see a message SUCCESS after the process finished.

4. Next type or copy and paste this line into Command Prompt (CMD):

  cacls c:\windows\system32\drivers\vgapnp.sys /G ajis:F

IMPOTANT: Replace!! ajis with your computer name. You can check your computer name by: Click start - look up on top right corner. Refer picture below:

PART 4: EDIT c:\windows\system32\drivers\vgapnp.sys


1. Open c:\windows\system32\drivers\vgapnp.sys right click and select open or open with.

 2. Choose second option "select program from a list of installed programs ".

3. Then select notepad.

4. Just add any character to the beginning of the text. Let's say we will add character x . So the text should start with xMZ and the rest of stuff. Save the file. This edit will render that file unusable.

Example before we add text it should look like this:

after adding text it should look like this

PART5: FINAL STEP

1.First open device manager by click start and  type devmgmt.msc as shown in the pictures below.

2. In Device Manager uninstall Standard VGA Adapter.

3. It will prompt you to restart so do it.

4.After install you will see a message saying that certain devices did NOT installed successfuly, which is GOOD :).

5.Go to Device Manager and you should see the exclamation point next to "video controller" and "video controller (VGA compatible)". Right-click on "video controller (VGA compatible)" and SELECT update driver.


6.Choose "Browse my computer for the Driver Software" .

7. Then select browse:

 8. Then notice that in part 1 i suggest you extract the driver in new folder (folder name: intel graphic). After click browse, point to that folder. expand by click the small arrow button until you find the win2000 folder.

9. Wait for the driver to be installed. It might hang for a little (It will say that window is "not responding"). Do not worry as this is still installing the driver. It will prompt you to restart so do it. (If it does not prompt click anywhere and wait for message). After restart it will finish installing the driver.

10. Open c:\windows\system32\drivers\vgapnp.sys in any text editor. Remove the first character you put there which was x. Save the file. it should look like this before saving it (MZ - ignore other character)

Your file will be usable again :). You can stop here if you want, but if you want to restore the permissions for the file to original state:

1. Right-click on any other file in the c:\windows\system32\drivers. Choose "Properties". Go to "Security" tab.
2. Now compare that security tab with the security tab of c:\windows\system32\drivers\vgapnp.sys. 
3. Just make sure the security tabs of those two files look the same (all tabs and advanced options). 
4. In order to add "TrustedInstaller" it is not the same as regular usernames because it is a service.
5. You will need to type "NT SERVICE\TrustedInstaller" (without quotes) when adding it to own the file and to have all permissions. 
6. Once you done editing you can delete your account from c:\windows\system32\drivers\vgapnp.sys, because it was not there from the beginning. We took control over and the previous commands added it by default..
