OT: I NEED SOME HELP, PLEASE!!!!
 
Ok, yesterday, i bought the GeForce XF 5600 card from MSI. I put it in, it was working.

I decided today that maybe i should do a clean install of the drivers. Perhaps that was not such a good idea. Because now, all I get is a black screen. The pc itself is running fine, i can hear icq in the back ground, ect. But, i cannot see anything. Just a black screen.

I have tried unplugging my monitor, restarting, and then re-plugging it back in, but i still get nothing. I have tried going back to my previous graphics card, but again, nothing.

All i did was install the drivers from the cd-rom. After they were done, it asked me to restart, so i did. Now, all i get is the black screen. I cannot check any settings, because i cannot see anything on the screen.

Does anyone have ANY idea what i need to do to get my screen to work properly.

Btw, when i first turn my pc on, I see the windows XP logo, but then, after that, it goes black, as the pc loads.

ANY HELP please!!!

Thanks

Chris

P.S. I understand that this is off-topic, and that they may be "appropriate" forums to post this, BUT, I am using my mother-in-laws pc right now, and i need to get the answers quickly....hence, i am posting in the forums I visit the most....

Boot windows into safe mode. Hit F8 repeatedly before the XP logo screen appears. Then, set the resolution to the lowest setting. This should clear the problem up.
