Did you change out your vid card? Or is this a new install (winxp)?

If you changed it go into safemode (F8) then set the display to default (or generic)...then try and reboot normally. If that works install your drivers for the vid card. You may have to re-install your old card first then uninstall the card and drivers before you can install the new card (recommended).

If it's a new install (winxp) I'd suggest you go to the site for your card to find solutions

Cheers

thanks

i'll try it as soon as possible. When i still had an nvidia TNT2 vcard, my OS was windowsXP. After i installed my new geforce4 mx440, the problem started. So i decided to change to windowsME and the video card worked.

thanks again. i'll keep you posted

xp wont install on a hd very well if you dont clear the mbr. you need to use the dos command clearhdd 0 to do this. this could be your posting problem. the same thing happened to me updating from win98. you can get the command from the samsung site and add it to your boot floppy.
