new graphics card, windows wont boot


Hi everyone, I am here with yet another question.

I am dual booting with Slackware 11 on hda1, and XP Pro on hdb1. I use Slackware as my main OS, but I still have to use Windows for Bluetooth, as I haven't worked out how to get it working with Slackware yet. Anyway, I did have it working perfectly, but I have recently changed my graphics card. When I try booting into Windows, I get the XP bootsplash and it just hangs there. I can boot into safe mode and everything is fine, I tried to play with display settings but there doesn't seem to be an awful lot I can do. Everything I have tried has failed so far, so if anyone could help me, I would appreciate it very much.

Thanks

John

Windows probably cannot find the drivers for your graphics card.
Maybe you need the disk the card came with to install it in windows?
You will probably be better advised if you asked this Q in a windows forum.
(I'd love to see a post along the lines of "It works just fine in linux, but not windows"!)

Never mind, it's sorted now. I think it was trying to use the onboard graphics. Oh well, bye.

That was strange, we posted at the same time. Thanks anyway tredegar. I would also love to see a post like that in a Windows forum.
