I had this same problem with my pc and I found a solution. I was unable to find the Enable VGA mode when I pressed F8 which caused a little alarm to me. I had a windows xp cd with me fortunately, so I put it in the disk drive. When I pressed F8 at the menu screen it brought up a blue screen with four choices:

Select Boot Device:
Hard Drive
Removable Device
ATAPI CD ROM
Intel Core--- (bunch of numbers)

I chose run ATAPI CD Rom and then was asked to chose which mode to boot up in-Safe mode, Safe mode with networking, Safe mode with command prompt, Last known configuration, Start Windows Normally.

All three safe modes would get stuck on a line of code that read: system32\drivers\agp440.sys

So I tried it again after restarting and chose start windows normally and viola! It worked. I then shut down the computer and reloaded it to make sure and it runs normally now. I didn't try last known configuration so I don't know how that one responds. I don't know if it was an internal system error that caused this or if my graphics card is old (Its a GEForce so I don't think so.)

hi,
this may be the resolution settings problem.
when booting your computer, press F8 repeatedly to enter Safe Mode.
check the settings from there and then restart your computer.
