im typing this from a different computer, just information:
i cannot boot my computer.
the computer and the monitor are both functioning, and the connection is good. i restarted to apply new settings on the screen resolution (i just bought a new LCD monitor) and the changes canceled once the computer booted, and they were set to a very low resolution, and i could not change the color bit or the resolution, so i just tried to restart and try again. the computer started its normal boot, and then the screen went blank, just before windows finishes loading. i unplugged the system, and then i tryed to reboot using the advanced menu (F8) using safe mode, safe mode w/ networking, VGA mode, and Just starting normally. the latter two had the same effect as before (blank screen)
safe modes will begin to start, but freeze when it hits sometihng lik

your graphics card might need a driver update for your new lcd monitor.
or your graphics card memory is too low for your monitor.
try using a different graphics card. that may be the problem.

Even with generic VGA driver, your PC should be able to completely boot at low resolution. I suspect your XP is somehow messed up because even SAFE mode does not work properly. Try using the auto repair function in the XP installation disc.

ALL your files will remain intact. You just have to re-install drivers.
