RE: Start Windows in Safe Mode then enable vgasave

Posted by nola_powerman on May 31, 2007 at 07:04:50:
Sadly, I tried that already, but safe mode also does not give me any video either. Searches on the web confirmed this is the case.
I also tried output ing the vgasave portion of the registry from another pc to a registry file and tried to boot up and run it on my pc by memorizing the keystrokes to run it off a usb pen drive. Didn't work, but since I can't see it's hard to say if I did it right.
this shows how to fix it:

but I'm also having trouble getting my pc to boot using the dvd drive first, and that may be becuase I have disabled the ide device in the device manager as well. I don't think that should be required though. i also don't have the windows xp restore or installation cd, so that's the only thing I can think of that would work at this point. I may ask for your recommendation for a reasonably priced pc case and power supply in a week or two if I give up.
