Did you try 2 of the Safe Mode boot optional mode(s):

Enable VGA mode

Hello:

I was trying to install a new video driver for our org's computer and in
the
process I disabled the standard vga driver through the control panel. Now
my
computer will boot just fine, XP logo screen shows up then goes black. I
get
the nice sounds that a boot was successful, but have no video at all -
just
charcoal colored screen.

I tried booting in safe mode, but it hangs after '...installing mup.sys...
or something like that. Can anyone help? (maybe if I could memorize the
keystrokes to enable the driver that would work - lol) I'm desperate -
we're
a small non-profit and I've rendered our only computer useless!
