XP doesn't boot even in Safe Mode
Hello,
My AGP card is dead so I had to replace it temporary with a PCI - S3 Virge.
It worked fine for a while even with a low resolution on my TFT - BenQ FP731 until I decided to install a driver found on the internet (but not on the S3 producer's website).
After the installation, the resolution was the same so I tried to roll it back, but I didn't have this option in the Adaptor\Driver menu, strange.
After I restarted, I saw the boot menu and I chose XP (I have three other OS installed).
My computer started to load XP, I saw the Windows logo and the loading bar and then I saw only a black screen but after a few minutes (1-2) I could hear the melody that signals the OS finished to load.
I tried to boot in Safe Mode (simple, with networking and with command prompt) but I saw a long list of loading files and at "multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS\AppPa tch\drvmain.sdb" freezes.
When I boot in Normal Mode or Last Known Good Configuration, I see the Logo and the loading bar and the system loads completely but I still don't have video (only the blank screen). If I click (blinded) on the screen where I have different files, I can hear the programs loading so the OS is up.
When I choose to boot to Server 2003 which is installed on the second hard drive and I'm using it right now, everything is fine, I have video but with that low resolution, still better than nothing.
Untill I go and buy a new AGP card, can anybody tell me how can I come back to the driver that XP found in its library and installed, when I first installed this old video card. I would like to do this without having to reinstall the XP or to wait until I buy the new video card.
Thanks,
Luc
