This is what happened, in the Display properties, I click Advanced Properties and there Adapter (VGA card), and there Properties and in there I accidentally put in the Use of the adapter, the disable the VGA card, and accept all the windows from there. Next time I boot my PC I can see (literally see) my desktop I see the boot windows but from there I just listen how Windows XP boot, and if I put a Music CD in the cd-rom it plays like windows normally do but actually I can see nothing, I think the problem was with the VGA adapter that I disable but how can I recover from here? I already try to use the safemode and other modes but nothing work, what can I do to solve this problem? Thanks for your help, see ya
 
When in safe mode set it to the generic VGA adapter. I think its still called "Standard". Also set the resolution to 640 x 480. One more thing, check the refresh rate of the monitor and set it to 60hz. These are default values that all cards and monitors can use.
Then when you get into Windows you should be able to reinstall the correct drivers.
