Well, I feel like a retard... I was playing around on one of my other PC's running XP. I was in the Monitor Properties and switched the Device usage: from the defalt "Use this device (enabled)" to "Do not use this device (disabled)" Now I can see any thing... My monitor is black. But it does show the XP logo at boot up and I can hit F8 and get that screen up. So, I tried to start it up in every mode, safe, safe networking, unsafe.... everything and it still does the same thing. I even tried to remove the video card, witch I could not do, even with help..(four hands inside a pc is always fun). So If you have any sugjestions PLEASE HELP ME!!!! Maybe Ill send you a T-Shirt.

Also, this site is kinda tweaked. Like lines under words... refresh rate...weird.
