turned off default monitor, now no monitor display

[Delboy14]

XP, Dell 2300


When I first installed XP onto my computer it did not pick up the driver for my monitor, and used the default monitor set up.

I turned off the default set up before installing a new driver, this means that now when XP loads, the monitor display is blank. Is there a way to turn this default set up back on manually. Or does anyone know the key command using a Dell computer to enter the set up before XP boots up, my computer has nothing vital saved on it, so I can re-install XP if required.

Thanks in Advance

Try booting into safe mode - hold F8 at startup. If you can get a display ins safe mode, maybe you can delete the monitor in device manager and have windows detect it again at the next boot.
