Lost video drivers

After following NVidia's recommendation to remove ALL
previous NVidia drivers before updating video card driver,
I have lost all video on my PC and cannot get anything on
my monitor. System is as follows:

OS: Win XP Pro
Card: Asus NVidia GeForce Ti4400
MB: Asus A7V266
Chip: AMD XP 1800
Mem: 1.5 Gig

I can get into bios settings and have tried to start Win
XP Pro in safe mode, I get the blue screen of death saying:

STOP: c000021a {fatal system error} the session manager
initialization system process terminated unexpectedly with
a status of 0xc0000034 (0x00000000 0x00000000) The
system has been shut down.

I've tried to start Win XP in VGA mode, last known good
config, and safe mode with command prompt. All do nothing
but leave a blank screen.

I've even tried to start PC with XP setup disks and all I
get is "Disk I/O error."

I have the full Win XP CD-ROM, have tried to start
computer with disk in it, but to no avail.

I just tried safe mode with command prompt, I got the
dreaded BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH saying,

STOP: c000021a {fatal system error} the session manager
initialization system process terminated unexpectedly with
a status of 0xc0000034 (0x00000000 0x00000000) The
system has been shut down.

What else can I try? Any suggestions to get video back?
 
Hello,

If your motherboard has an embedded graphics chips, then
you might be able to plug your monitor into one of the
serial ports to bypass the video card. The motherboard
should reconigze that you plugged the monitor straight
into one of the serial ports and load up the basic
drivers for display. I hope that works.

You can't plug a monitor cable into a serial port. Well, not without a
hammer, maybe.
 
Video signals and Serial port signals are two different signals. You can
not plug a monitor to a serial port and you can not plug a serial device to
a VGA port.
