please be more specific. For example, you can definitely install a printer driver and then hook up the printer and load it, or a video driver and then connect a monitor. What kind of interface do you mean?

Linux boot cd http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/index-en.html
well basically this is whats happening:
The PC boots normally into the user area and displays the desktop with all icons as normal.
Then it just keeps restarting and cycling.
When I go into safe mode all the scrolling text turns orange and it hangs.
I've tried inserting the XP disc and trying a OS repair but the txt turns orange and hangs.
As I expect this is a video driver problem I was wondering if it's at all possible to re-install the driver with basically nothing on the screen to work with (because it either hangs and everything goes orange or just retarts.)
Thanks
