ok, now, i've done some looking into the whole safe mode problem. when i
rebooted i first decided to turn off the option that says "automatically
restart computer upon system failure" after doing so i restarted my
computer once again. I then tried starting in safemode again. THIS TIME
instead of my computer just restarting, it took me too to a blue screen
that stated that "one or more hard drives or drivers or something like
that were missing or corrupt" and then told me to reboot and then run
"CHKDSK /F" so i wasn't sure how to do that so i thought i would ask
first before trying something that would screw up my computer even more.
I STILL CANNOT ACCESS SAFE MODE. what should i try next? and I want to
go on record that i thank you ALL for your help and support thus far.

Maybe it's a good idea to kind of "start over" at this point-in-time seeing
as how you've now encountered that "blue screen". And we'll set aside the
graphics driver problem that you originally mentioned that apparently
triggered a host of problems. And let's forget about the Safe Mode process
at least for the time being, OK?
I'm going to assume you have an XP OS installation CD that will allow you to
undertake the following process...
Insert that CD in your optical drive and boot to it. I assume you know how
to do this, right? When you get to the opening "Welcome to Setup" screen,
press the "R" key which will begin the process for you to access the
Recovery Console. You will be asked for the administrator password. Just
press Enter if you haven't previously created a password. Then enter "1" at
the prompt asking you "Which Windows installation would you like to log
onto".
Now you can enter that chkdsk /f command you referred to. Hopefully, that
process will be successful in returning your system to a bootable,
functional state. Let's hope so. If not, there are other things to try.
When the chkdsk process finishes its work (it may take a long time) - just
type "Exit" at the prompt. Remove the CD and boot the machine.
If you respond to this, provide some details as to the type of system you're
working with. An OEM machine? Make and model? Know the motherboard? Provide
as many details as you can re your machine.
What kind of an XP OS installation CD do you have. Full, retail version?
OEM-non branded version? OEM CD provided by manufacturer of machine?
Anna
