Black screen after XP starts to load

by hopmac . Updated 18 years, 9 months ago

Hi,

I’m in a jam here. I’m using my laptop to post this… I reformated my harddrive on my desktop last night. It all worked out perfectly. BUT…I did not re-install any drivers. When I finally got the internet up again, I noticed that my screen was really slow when I was going down the page. I attempted to adjust my refresh rate and found that it said under display properties ‘default monitor’ and I couldn’t adjust anything. I looked at my drivers disk and installed what I thought was a proper driver. I had to reboot, and when I rebooted it starts to load, and then the screen goes blank. I try safemode, and it starts to list stuff and ends at mup.sys….It will not go any further, and will not boot up…

I am lost…anyhelp you can give. I have a Dell Dimension 8400 a couple of years old, and the drivers and utilities disk seems to boot from, but I don’t know what to try from there.
