Help! Graphics card DISABLED
I have a problem that is too difficult for me, ive tried everything that i know of.
Last night i disabled my graphics card in the right click>properties>settings>advanced>adapter>propert ies window. The card is a Geforce 8800gts 512 and i have XP professional SP2, the motherboard is Abit KN-8 Ultra.
When the card was disabled the computer switched to it's built-in GPU. I wanted to re-enable the graphics card, but the graphics card was no longer in the menu and i couldn't access it. The advanced>adapter window didn't show my card anymore and only showed the asus VGA (i think) adapter.
I disabled the VGA adapter aswell by going to right click>properties>settings>advanced>adapter>propert ies and choosing "disable" under the "device usage" window. I thought that with the VGA drivers disabled, the graphics card would automatically by activated once again. But this is not the case!

What happens now is that right after windows XP loads, i only get a black screen. And nothing happens. I cant access windows because the graphics card is "disabled".
What i have done so far to solve the problem is to use a different harddrive as Master. But this is only a temporary fix because the hard drive isn't mine.
I can access my own hard drive now, but when my own drive is the Master again the same problem remains. Ive tried switching graphics card with no effect. I have managed to remove and reinstall the graphics cards drivers on my hard drive (the Slave), but this has not helped either. I think the problem is that i need to somehow re-enable the graphics card on my system.
Please help because i dont know what to do! Ive worked all day on the problem, opened up the computer plugged in, unplugged graphics cards and hard drives and i cant figure it out.
