Hi all,

just got an older Dell Optiplex GX1 computer with win2k on it, build
2195 and needed to install a modem in it for a friend.. but on boot up
discovered another challenge, after the Dell and windows2000 splash
screens, when it attempted to actually boot to windows I get a video
input error and the screen goes black.(it's like there is no video
connected to the monitor)

I was able to bootup into Safe mode, identified the onboard video as
an ATI Rage Pro AGP 2x, downloaded the drivers for it from another
machine, and installed it but on normal bootup again, am still
receiving the same video input error when it is time to go to windows
display.

I am still able to boot to safe mode.....

What else can I check?

thanks in advance for any help..
