Not the ordinary Blank screen after XP logo

[cynixus]

OK so, this is a very troublesome kind of trouble i came across. i'm not very computer savvy so plz bear with me.

After switching on the computer, everything loads and after the windows XP logo, i got the "welcoming music", BUT i got a black screen, everything is there, i just can't see them. How do i know everything is there? Because i try to shut down the computer using: "Alt+F4", tap the "right" arrow key once, and hit "Enter", and yes, the computer plays the "Exit music", and it shuts down.

Cause of this problem: Display properties

plz let explain further: it was my brother's computer, and he told me that he disabled the "display adapter". This is how he did it, he opens up "Display Properties" >> Settings >> Advanced >> Adapter >> Properties >> and under the "Divice Usage": he choose "Do not use this device (disable)", and the computer prompt him to restart the computer, so after he restart it, and after the XP logo, he got a total black screen, as mentioned above. How do i revert this process? i can't see a thing!

Solution : PLEASE, help me!!!

right after post ,start tapping the F8 key and select start with last known good configuration. Selecting Safe Mode and undoing what you brother did may work.
