Hello Lwethu16,
I am from Dell Social Media and Community.
Boot the system to safe mode and enable the video card from Device manager. (follow the link for step by step process)
http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/boot_failsafe.mspx?mfr=true
If the issue persists, enter system set up at start up by tapping on F2 and restore it to defaults.
Let me know if you need any further assistance.
