  1. I'm new here, just registered to try to solve this issue. I appreciate any help I can get. I'm not totally computer savvy, but I do have basic problem solving skills. Dell XPS 700 with Pentium D 3.00 GHz (EMT64T - 64bit compatible) Dual Nvidia 7900 GTX cards 2 GB RAM I've been using XP Home Edition (32 bit) since I bought the computer, but recently decided to upgrade to XP64 for the additional RAM space. I can add another 6GBs to the 2GB I already have. 32 bit windows only recognizes like 3.25 GBs or something and I need the extra power for HD video editing. Anyway, when I went to install XP64, I only got about halfway through the process. On the automatic restart the windows logo came up and I got nothing but a black screen and low-resolution cursor. I couldn't open up task manager or anything. I couldn't do anything. When I tried booting in safe mode I couldn't get past the "windows has not completed installation error". So I'm pretty much forced to restart in standard mode to inevitably get the black screen again. I ended up reinstalling 2 more times before finally breaking and reinstalling XP32 so I could get on the internet and do a search. I've found a lot of people are having this issue, but I think more with Windows 7 than XP. I just downloaded the Nvidia drivers for 7900 GTX compatible with WinXP 64 bit, and a new version of Bios, plus I think a 64 bit chipset driver. I put them on my External HD, but I'm not sure how I'm going to install them if I can't even get into windows from the bootup. Does anyone have advice? I feel like it has to be my video card...but I really have no idea. Thanks!
