Cant get to Safe Mode

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



Recently - we had a storm that surged thru the VGA card and destroyed the
motherboard. anyway, another motherboard was installed - and of course it
came with a cd - and i had realtek speakers/media - so i loaded the realtek
devises - well windows had an update to the realtek driver that i downloaded
- - realtek rtl8139x/ pci fast ethernet controller. This driver is not
allowing me to get to windows - I am unable to get to safemode to uninstall
the driver - it wants a boot system -cdI so how do i bypass this boot?

I was going to do a restore from the emergency cd,unfortunately - the place
i bought the computer loaded the computer with windows xp home edition - and
gave me a 98 windows emergency cd - the business is now gone.

And to make matters worse, when the motherboard was done, and before i
downloaded this driver - i was able to get into windows - but unable to do a
restore.

currently, the sceen shows
(intel undi pxe-2.0 build 082
for realtek rtl8139z/8130/8180x pci fast ethernet controller v2.14 c0402091
pxe-e61.media test failure check cable pxe-mof exiting pxe rom reboot and
select proper reboot device or boot media device and press a )
any key i touch give me the same message. i can get into set up, but none
of those options help me. help help - my daughter wants her computer back.
