Video card issues

Ok, I have a really stupid question. I just purchased a new video card for my computer. I have an HP celeron 2.3 (Ya i know I know a celeron!!!) computer and I had a ATI 64 Mb graphics card in it. I just bought a ATI Radon 256 PCI card ( PCI is all my Celeron will handel). I uninstalled my 64 Mb card and installed the new one. Now here is my problem. It wont boot up. I turn the computer on and it show's me the windows XP screen with the little thing on the bottom ( when you first turn on a windows XP machine) and then nothing. I can boot into safe mode, and I can boot in to VGA mode, but I can't boot in to regular mode. I have installed the software in safe mode and VGA mode, but am still running into problems when I install in to regular mode. What am I missing?

Not quite sure what happend, but it seems to be working now. I thank you for the suggestion and I WILL KEEP IT IN MIND. For some reason the video card decided to kick in and now it is working.

Again thank you for the suggestion, I don't know where I would be with out this board.

doesn't really matter now but I think it has to do with screen resolution
