Can't enlarge video settings

[Jim Echols]

I've done an install of xp pro. Initially the comp. had win2000 but I'm
fairly certain I followed the instructions to erase and set up a new
partition for the install. I had xp running but couldn't get any size
larger than the 640... At that point somewhere, somehow I changed a setting
in the display properties and now after the initial start up the screen goes
to black. I've tried to f8 and get to safe mode but I see a screen that
says keyboard error. Also when I select safe mode all that I get is a full
page of text somewhat similar to dos. From this point I can't exit
normally. I have to manually shut down the comp.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks!

Jim

Try safe-mode with networking,if it gets farther,enter xp as administrator.

OK, I'll try that, thanks.
