hi,

my sister for some unkown reason disabled the display adapter on her computer. now you cant see anything on the moniter, except for the bios adn the windows xp screen before the computer loads to the desktop. its a Dell, dimension 2400, so video is all onboard. I've tried goign into BIOS, cant see it. I've also tried goign into safemode, adn that wotn work either. i was wondering if i took that computer's harddrive, adn put it as a slave in mty computer, and if there is some way to chnage the settings from my computer.

any help appreciated
 
well there are a couple things you could do... easiest is find a PCI video card... throw it in there.. boot to windows and change the settings... OR you could do a windows repair...>... put in the windows xp disk disk... boot from cd.. when you get to the menu where it say... do you want to install windows or repair windows... press enter... (trust me) =) then press f8 for the agreement thingy... then it will find that you have windows already installed on the harddrive... from here select repair... you will lose all your windows updates... and might have to reinstall drivers...but all your programs and data will still be there... good luck!
 
a pci card costs money, not a wise solution. Do the windows repair.
 
He might have a pci card on hand or know someone with one.
