Hi to all.

I'm sorry my bad english, I'm from Brazil.

Well, the problem is that I can't install in my computer any Video
Cards. Always, my Windows XP says that my adapter is VGASAVE. If I put
the onboard video card, the problem is the same. Anyone knows how to
fix it?

But the big problem is not this, is that I went to Display Properties -
Settings - Advanced- Adapter - Properties and I did disable all about
VGASAVE, in hope that this could fix the problem and the computer
recognize the real video card. But, when I restart the computer, after
the loading of windows, the Monitor become all black (but just after
the loading, before is all normal). I could use the computer in the
dark, but is difficult.

And other problem is that my computer don't enter in the safe mode!
(f8....), when I try to enter, a cursor stays blinking on the monitor
and nothing happen. So, anyone have any suggestion for help me??
Thanks!!!

ps: I have already tried in the Recovery Console write "enable vgasave
....." but don't work, I think becouse I have disabled vga save and put
to don't start with windows or something like this!

I think you need to get the graphic card driver and install that. If I
understand correctly you have a motherboard with onboard graphic chip and a
seperate grahics card. If so you need to disable the onboard graphic chip in
the BIOS boot into windows and install the driver for the grahics card.

I encountered this before. I was not able to fix this with the correct video
card/motherboard chipset drivers. The only way was to do a repair re-install
of XP on top of the installed version and then install the drivers.
