1. The correct drivers are not being used\n2. try increasing the screen resulution (right click desktop, properties, display, screen resulution. Try using 1024 x 768)

Your monitor doesn't support a higher resolution than that. You need to get a monitor that supports the resolution you want. Windows will lock out modes that your monitor can't display even if your video card is capable.

I think you havn't installed your graphic card properly. look for it's driver for windows 2000. though you have to know your graphic card brand and model, do you?\nyou also can go to that graphic card production company website and look for driver there...

my guess is that you need to reinstall your video card drivers

Well friend I suffered the same problem tried to do what was offered u but didn't work cause all the other rights had been striped off. However this is the solution. Sorry if the search solution worked for u, it didn't work for me.\nClick Start Menu then Right-click and go to open, you will get a open folder with Programs. click it that to open, when it does, you will see the command prompt icon, click that which gives you your black screen with command prompt ( remember you couldn't get this at the Run prompt because it is disabled.) but now u get it. type taskmgr on the command prompt. u r there... long but works..

YIKES !!!\nPeople who don't know should not answer these questions.\nIt is a very common problem with NVidia Chips. Sometimes the driver goes crazy. Simply update/re-install your graphics driver.

Either the crack of the game is buggy OR it might have referred to your VGA driver.\nTry to reinstall, that also.\n(With a better one if possible.)

Your graphics card is too old to be compatible with DirectX 9.0C which is required for many if not most newer games. Try to download 9.0 C just in case:\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=0A9B6820-BFBB-4799-9908-D418CDEAC197&displaylang=en

you probably need to update your graphic card driver, go to your graphic card manufacturer's site download the latest driver for you windows version, install and reboot computer.\nIf your graphic card is a old model, no new driver or no manufacturer's site, simple uninstall graphic driver and reinstall the driver come with the card will alleviate the problem.

Get a 64/128 graphics card. Have enough empty space in C drive. If you can have around 1GB of page file and still enough C drive space. Almost all your games would run fine.

Maybe your monitor not connected with power supply plug-in. \nIf you heard "bip" twice at the first booting and than the black screen, it means your VGA-Card not plug truly to your motherboard.\n\nRed light? Your monitor positions to close with magnetic item. example, speaker active, or else.

check your monitor power options makes sure that hibernation is disabled and also check the power schemes settings and adjust accordingly.

Driver issue, there is not a correct driver for this and WinXP is forced to use default drivers which do not have the correct resolution. The solution is to use PowerStrip to force the monitor to recognize a correct resolution.\nSee the link below.

The monitor is working... this is the standby state, sounds like your "gateway" is having video problems try downloading a new driver for your graphics/video http://support.gateway.com/support/drivers/dlcenter.asp
