Question Disabled Default Adapter, Black Screen
Hello.

I foolishly disabled my default video adapter after I tried to reformat Windows Xp. I've tried reading many other possible solutions to this problem, but they can't seem to show any results.

I am computer illiterate. I don't seem to understand anything at all from other topics. Would anyone like to spend some of their time to help me?? I think I've tried safemode and tried to enable Vga mode, but a black screen always appear.

I've even tried these instructions. (However, after I am on step 10, when I click ALT P, a weird sound comes up. I'm not able to get any further.)

1) 'push your mouse UP & RIGHT as far as you can. As you can't
see the pointer, this should avoid any Icons
2) RIGHT CLICK MOUSE
3) UP ARROW
4) ENTER 'The Display Properties opened, though invisible
5) TAB,TAB,TAB,TAB
6) RIGHT ARROW,RIGHT ARROW,RIGHT ARROW,RIGHT ARROW
7) ALT-V 'You are in Advanced settings
8) TAB,TAB,TAB,TAB,TAB
9) RIGHT ARROW,RIGHT ARROW
10) ALT-P 'You are on the Monitor Properties page
11) TAB
12) UP ARROW 're-enabled hopefully
13) TAB
14) ENTER,ENTER,ENTER
'WAIT 5 SECONDS - display properties closed
15) CONTROL-ALT-DEL 'Open Task Manager
16) ALT-U
17) DOWN ARROW,DOWN ARROW
18) ENTER 'Should Shutdown
19) RESTART
