RE: Start Windows in Safe Mode then enable vgasave

Following the instructions on step one, I created a batch file (I used the command without the single quotations) and added them to the startup directory of each of my two raided boot drives, using another computer to load the drives. Then, with everything back in place, I restarted my media pc. I waited a bit and then rebooted. However, I still lost video during the WIndows XP flash screen. for some reason, the vgasave service still is not starting. I wonder if I have to have the batch file overwrite the entire vgasave area, which includes several lines.
Then I got a copy of the Dell support disk and ran the recovery console.
folowing the instructions form the web, I entered: 'enable vgasave SERVICE_SYSTEM_START'
then it told me the service was already set to that.
now i'm looking on the web for a command to start my display adapter, which is also disabled. I hope that will get me some where.

Do you think there is a command I can enter in a batch file from my startup folder that will attempt to start my display adapter?instead of just changing one resistry value? Or maybe load the driver manually?
