Graphic Card Problem

I used program to clean out my drivers. I accidently uninstalled my drivers for my video card. Right now, I don't think there is ANY drivers for my graphic card in my computer.

I'm trying to re-install the drivers for my video card.

I try going to safe mode. But that didn't work. It just has display of list full of drivers and stop there. Is it suppose to be like that? Am I suppose to wait?

I also unplug the entire computer. Unplug the video card and put back in.

Reboot it. Still nothing. I'm using MSI G4 Ti 4200 8x AGP 128MB

I try booting it normally but that didn't work

Any help please?

nVidia says that you should uninstall all display drivers before you install new drivers. So, that step was correct (intentional or not). Next, reboot. When your system comes back up you'll get a real crappy display (that's normal). Install your new drivers (nVidia has new ones for GeForce cards). I've never done it in safe mode, so I don't know what is normal with that approach.

That shouldn't be a problem. Besides, the presence of the boot GUI causes some standard vga video support to work improperly. The option will disable the Windows XP logo during bootup, but be aware that it will also disable any error messages from appearing while loading Windows. For example, if a Hardware device causes a STOP error you will not be able to see what is causing it.
