When i started my computer this morning, i got past the windows Xp professional boot screen then was met with an error that said "cannot display video mode" The error stayed on the screen for 15 minutes, then i pulled the power cord and tried again. This happens every time i start up my computer and get past the boot screen. Finally, i got tired and pulled out my linux LiveCD and came here. Here is my system.
Dell Dimension 3000
3GHZ P4 w/ HT
512 mb RAM
Windows XP Pro
ATI Radeon 9250- 256 PCI edition
Integrated Dell Extreme Graphics 2- backup card

I know i need to get some more ram, but don't tell me that
