bad computer problem
ok i think i really messed my computer up. i was trying to find out how to
fix a problem with my nvidia geforce 2 intergrated gpu, device manager says it cannot start and nvidia website says to enter bios and look for the option "Assign IRQ to VGA" well i found compaq vga controller but i accidently set it from vga to IRQ3 and now computer turns on but nothing happens the screen is black and nothing comes up. Is there a way to change this setting back? I tried to enter bios again but i don't if it entered bios or not due to black screen. I have the athlon xp 1900+ with win xp home edition. Any help i could get is appreciated. -- KEN |

Pull the battery on the motherboard (looks like a quarter, usually) This
resets the bios to defaults. -- Was this helpful? Then click the Ratings button. Voting helps the web interface. http://www.microsoft.com/wn3/locales...eAPostAsAnswer Mark L. Ferguson ..
