installing vista nothing the screen

Installing Vista, nothing on the screen

After installing windows vista beta 2 my computer simply doesen't display anything, my screen goes black and displays the message: " no signal input"
I have an old video card and I'm guessing that is the problem. How can I boot into XP and install a newer driver or simply format my computer all over again?

"no signal input" = your monitor is telling you that it is not recieving anything it can display.
