Well, my sister has done it again, this is the third time this month I've had to fix her laptop
The first time I had to reinstall windows--the problem? No drivers. Intil I got the drivers disk she'd have to deal with messed up colors and no sound
In an attempt to fix it she put the hardware exeleration for the video card to 0 (Actually mabey it was the screen, but I think it was the VC)
And now once it boots windows the laptop screen shut off
What do I do?
 
Ouch I know the feeling of not having a monitor...stupid unexplained computer errors! If you have another monitor you may try hooking it up and telling the machine to go into projector mode and see if that works. Good luck man. I may have to wipe off my harddrive and start over to get mine back up.
 
I can't get it to work on a different screen so I suspect the video card is the problem
 
Reboot, press F8, go into safe mode, reset video settings and reboot again.

How long did you wait? Safe mode for XP loads very slowly most of the time.
 
From that post when I said that til now... 10minutes mabey
Its right here, it's not going anywhere tonight
 
Ummm. thats not the problem then. Have you tried some of the other boot settings like "Last Known good configurations"?
 
Nope, since it did boot up and in window's eyes it "worked" last time
it did the same thing
