Ok, well... I recently moved my computer to a different apartment. Upon moving, my wireless keyboard's batteries decided to die. So, my roommate lent me one of his old keyboards. Well, after hooking up his keyboard, my computer went bonkers and XP wouldn't boot up (Gets to windows boot up screen with the little blue bar... then the screen goes blank). I went into safe mode and was compelled to uninstall my video drivers. Well, WADDYA KNOW!! It worked. I thought to myself, "Can a keyboard really react with video drivers?" So, I hooked up my old keyboard and began reinstalling my video drivers... After I install, I restart the computer and windows wont boot up again. Has anyone had this problem or a similar problem before? If so, PLEASE help out... I would appreciate it SOOO much!.... especially since I'm talking to you from safe mode right now...

It's more likely you dislodged the video card during the move - just try opening the case & make sure everything's fimly seated.
