I am now using my Winbloze Me recovery disk, bye-bye data...

Doh, there was a good chance that you could have gotten into Safe Mode on XP to fix it.

If it's not too late, pound away at the F8 key on boot, and try safe mode. If you get in, go into Device manager and remove your display adaptor. Reboot, and XP should kick into VGA mode, and allow you to install proper display drivers.
