> i recently updated my video adapter and changed it from it's default
(Trident 2d/3d Video Accelerator Blade - ProMedia from installation of xp
pro) to the adapter which seemed to coincide with the mainboard (Via 86xx).
i updated using the cd-rom for the mainboard installation, but when i
restarted my pc the following occured:

Have you tried safe mode? Restart the machine, and during start-up press f8.
Choose safe mode from the menu. It should load in 640*480 using the default
vga driver. From there you can uninstall/reinstall your video drivers.
