I was upgrading windows 2000 pro to windows xp pro...everything worked fine...it installed and I was trying to screw around with the video settings to make the resolution better but it wouldn't let me...so I tried installing a new driver for my video card...after installing that it said that I had to restart my computer...I did and when it got the the loading screen before it asks you to choose which user you are and to enter your password, my monitor goes to sleep and I can't see anything that is going on...I try to turn my monitor off and back on but I still see no windows...So I tried doing a windows XP repair...and now its forever stuck in an ongoing loop at the setup screen...it will install some devices and then the monitor turns off again...I let it sit there for hours to see what it would do...and nothing...so I restart my computer and it goes straight into the windows xp setup again...I tried going into safe mode one time to delete the video card driver...but it wouldnt let me go into safe mode because I was not finished running setup yet!!! It wont ever finish!!! Please someone help me out here...I dont want to have to format my hard drive AGAIN!!!
 
No...I tried to do a repair...but now I can't do ANYTHING at all except stare at it trying to install xp and then my monitor goes to sleep and i cant see anything until i turn off my comp and turn it back on again...only to watch it automatically enter setup and try to install again...and again...and again...and again...
 
What kind of monitor is it? if it is a lcd, the refresh rate is probably too high, if you can get a hold of a non lcd monitor (crt) temporarily, the screen probably would work and you can finish the set up, you would need to crank down the refresh rate to about 60hz for the lcd to work, (the older models).
 
Its a huga nokia tube...I dont think its LCD...but I'll try hooking up another monitor to see if that works...thanks
