Hi Everybody:
If anybody can help me with this problem I will be so grateful and it will prevent my wife from taking me to the psych. ward.![Smile :smile: :smile:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Here's the deal.
XPS 400 , 2.8 , 2gb, 3 int. sata hd
dual boot xp and vista 32 thru grub loader
nvidia 8800 gts pci-e , 2 monitors.
All the above has worked 10000% for me, for a long time....
-3 days ago I decided 2 monitors wasn't enough:lup:,
-found an old PCI vga that I pulled outta of a '98 Compaq that was retired in the attic.
-popped it in, started comp., chose Vista , loaded no problem,but...
it also turned my 8800 gts into a regular vga card, thus disabling dual monitors. Also my monitors became generic pnp's (before it listed the model).
--Seeing all this made me realize, what the hell am I doing:wtf: 2 monitors is enough, so I shut down and removed the old PCI vga card and proceeded to start the comp.
Here's where the S***t really hit the fan. PLEASE HELP>
Dual boot screen still comes up, XP loads fine.
Vista on the other hand will only go thru the green loading bars, then black screen with pointer appears and stays FOREVER till I force shutdown.
I tried everything, way too much to list, been up for 2 days goin nukin futs:??,
Apologize for the super long post, but I really need help. THANK YOU to anybody w/ suggestions a 1000 times in advance.
