I have Dell running windows 98 i was trying to change my screen resolution (which mysteriously was stuck in default mode.) And i disabled my graphics card and now when i turn the computer on it boots up and then goes black. Its like its not reading my moniter. I can still access the setup menu and system from F2 or F10, if this can help. Or I have another home computer running XP with DSL if that helps either. when i try to boot in safe mode it rambles foo a bunch of files and then gets stuck at multi(0)disk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS\System32\drivers\mup.sys

    First, try booting it in safe mode. Press F8 repeatedly after starting and before the Win98 loading screen comes on and you'll see a menu. Select safe mode from that. Go to device manager and remove your graphics card completely. Then restart in Normal mode. It'll detect your card as a new piece of hardware. If this doesnt work, remove the graphics card (physically) and replace it with the card from your XP computer(if it fits). Start it up. After everythings running, go to device manager and remove it. Shut it down and replace the original card and restart. Let me know if it works.
