i was playing around with different settings in my
appearence menu and i disabled my video card? its a vga
or something like that and when i restarted my computer,
it goes through the windows load screen and then it goes
black. im running xp home edition and i have no clue what
to do... help!
 
Try rebooting and hold down the F8 key. It should go into safe mode which
loads the OS with the default drivers (yes, it looks crappy and nothing
works - that's why it's the safe mode). You should be able to revise your
settings or reload new drivers, and then reboot back into normal mode.
 
I tried a search for alim1541.sys. Seems some people have had this problem;
but no obvious solutions. I did see where someone said it would go into
safe mode after a long wait - 1/2 to an hour. Try waiting and see if you
can get into safe mode.

Others have said they have tried doing a repair, but no luck. Seems that
the Ali chipset drivers need to be reloaded.
 
when i get the drivers, how would i load them, because i
still cant see my computer screen?
 
As I said earlier. go into safe mode, and WAIT. Supposedly you will be able
to see something after 1/2 to 1 hour.
 
i waited for about 4 hours and nothing happened. im not
really sure what to do. im about to just format and re-
install. im still lost
