BIOS
Hello,
I had Windows XP and Window 2000 of which I removed XP from the D drive by formatting it. Now, i was just checking the BIOS (HIS MOtherboard 845), and i went into the option called VGA and when pressed enter, it gave me options like 32, 16, 8 and disable. I selected the disable one and since then there is no display on my computer. Even F8 does not works, nothing happens, i restart tapping the del key but nothing happens. Any help on this is muchly apprecaited guys. Thanks & Regards David |

Hi David,
It sounds to me like you disabled on board video card. What I would do is insert new card in one of free slots in the computer and start is, so that I could access the BIOS settings and enable the on board card again... Mike "David" wrote in message ...

You could try resetting the motherboard to it's default
setting by changing jumper 8 (jp8) on your motherboard and the changing it back. Be warned though: Doing this will change ALL the settings you have made to your BIOS including the password. |

Did you ever think of reading the manual that came with the motherboard?

BIOS
Note: BIOS changes are not a function of WinXP, they are a function
of the motherboard - so this is not related to XP or XP Security in any manner, but, As others have said, either read the manual, reset the BIOS to defaults or go to the motherboard manufacturer's web site. Do you still get the BIOS post on the screen/monitor? If so, did you think to go change the disabled to one of you other selections, save and exit - the PC should repost the BIOS and try to boot. -- Star Fleet Admiral Q @ your service -------------------------------------------------------- "David" wrote in message ...
