now no video in windows?? [message #80023]

Decided to swap video cards and see if that would help Paris installation
recognize the hardware. Took out the Matrox and put in a Geforce 2. Runs
at minimum resolution with 4-bit color. Claims that it can't find enough
resources. So I attempt to install some nvidia drivers. Sez to uninstall
old drivers first, which I do, then reboot. Boots to the black Windows xp
screen, and then goes dark and hangs there. Tried safe mode, same thing.
Tried a windows repair from the windows CD, same thing. I've never run into
this before. It seems there's no video driver in windows??? anybody. . . .

I had that once before... you have to clear the CMOS... do you
know how to do that? Do you have the manual for your mobo? If
so it might say how - you're prolly gonna need to reset a
jumper.

If you haven't already, pull out all the cards except the video. See if
you can get in that way and get the drivers in with the video
card...Then add one card back at a time and boot to verify you're clear...

If you already tried this then go to your tool shed, grab the 12 pound
sledge and....
