Windows XP Safemode with Vista bootloader.

[Haippi]

so i have both XP and Vista installed, and i need to boot XP in safemode or
low res mode, but the bootloader dosnt give the choise for XP, only Vista.
I really need to get into the safemode and uninstall my gfx card drivers..
something went horribly wrong and now everytime i start XP theres no signal
to the monitor.. i guess the resolutin or refresh rate is badly out of my
monitors range...
Sure i could just uninstall vista nd run fixmbr.. but i dont want to
uninstall vista just yet... and i dont have an admin password set in XP so i
cant acces the repair console to run fixmbr.

Help would be greatly appreciated.

Can't you use an other monitor, which handles these settings?

Iv'e never tried this but you could boot Vista and edit the boot.ini file
for the XP install and add the /SAFEBOOT switch.
