had no video card installed and since then only a black screen comes up on boot up, Pressing f8 does no good. Tech support is no help. I need to do some scan in safe mode. Any ideas?

getting into a safe mode depends on which windows is installed on your computer. F8 definitely works only if you have win95, and on other versions you need to run msconfig. here's detailed instructions how you do that:

first check your right function keys..i.e. whts is key of for taking safe mode...and its not working...then check your bios setup..and if its not working yet...then you will have to format your drive....
