Solve : Disabled videocard by accident, help !!!?

Answer»

I disabled my AGP VIDEOCARD in WinXP by accident. Now I can't see anything on my screen past the Win bootup screen.
My mobo doesn't have any BUILT in videocard, so that's not the answer. I need to see what I do to enable the videocard again.
I tried taking the card out of its slot and reputing it in, but it's not working. I don't have any other videocard to plug in in order to enable the previous one.
What can I do???
I tried also booting in safe mode, nada...
Tried also the last KNOWN good configuration, not working.
Help me !!!!Borrow a PCI video card (any amount of RAM, even 1 meg will do. This will allow you to correct your mistake.

I guess it's safe to say that you learned your lesson?

Yeah, I learned my lesson...
Is there any other way I can fix the problem ?
Not sure where to borrow another card...
If a friend has a PC with any kind of a card that is your best bet. You don't have to load DRIVERS or anything. Just plug it in and connect it to your monitor. Should take all of about 10 minutes, tops. Quote

I disabled my AGP videocard in WinXP by accident. ..

I am interested to know how this is done.  If it's removed from the Device Manager, won't it reinstall itself on the next reboot?  If you see the Bootup Screens, that says that Safe Mode should work, too.
Well, I didn't take it out of the device manager. I did a right click on the desktop, went to the properties stuff, and disabled the videocard there...
That was really dumb of me...
hehehe
I was trying a repair of Win XP, but now it's worse.
The repaoir won't finish and passed the Win XP logo I GET a message saying that the repair is getting finished, computer reboots and this repeats itself forever and ever..
Grr !
If nothing works I might just have to do a clean reinstall of Win XP..
I'll let you guys know.
Thanks for your help !Ok but if you don't want to reinstall, take my advice.
