Monitor goes black after start up and computer wont start in safe mode

Last response: in Windows XP

Hello,

My computer screen goes black right after the desktop appears. It's running XP but hitting F8 won't send it into safe mode. I know it's still running because the wireless system is still working all the other components. My laptop did this as well after installing the lates windows updates. I was able to restore the laptop to a time before the updates, but I can't get the desktop in safe mode to do that. Any suggestions?

Best solution

Have to boot from a Windows CD, or on a working computer burn a Rescue CD to boot from.
