Somewhere during my many troubles I had with setting up my TV as a secondary monitor, I was silly enough to download, install and (mis)use a piece of software called "TvTool" - It looked pretty outdated, but I thought "what the hell".
I accidently set my TV (on which I still wasn't getting anything!) as my primary (and single) monitor. My desktop monitor went all black and I panicked, heh ;)
I couldn't figure anything out, so I tried a hard reboot, but alas, as soon as it logged on to Windows, my screen stopped getting a signal. The TvTool thing must've messed with something pretty important.
I uninstalled the programme using a SystemAdmin version of XP [on a bootable CDROM] I have, rebooted again, and got the same problem as above. Blergh. I was on the verge of formatting and (finally) installing Windows 7, when it was brought to my attention that I could boot my pc in VGA mode, uninstall my display drivers, reboot, reinstall my drivers, and my problem should be fixed!
The reason I had to use VGA mode is because (as described in my previous post), Safe Mode is inaccessible for me!
Morale: LOVE THE VGA MODE, LOVE IIIIIIT
