I have accidentally disabled my video driver then restarted my computer.
Using XP home on a 2.4 dell, 256 RAM. On startup I have a blank screen.
What can I do to enable this video driver?

Thanks,

Phil

Start in Safe Mode and enable the video driver.

To start the computer in safe mode

You will probably need to reset the BIOS from the motherboard. You will
need to know the location and how to configure the jumpers to reset it.
I got a tip from a friend who suggested to first remove the motherboard
battery for a few minutes, then plugging it back in. Good luck

What does the BIOS have to do with a video driver in Windows?
