maybe try plugging it into the mobo monitor slot if that work reinstall the drivers for the GPU from CD if you have it or download them.

apart form that i would guess putting in to the other computer may have currutp the card.
have you try putting it back into the computer with vista on to see if it still work on that one?

yeah i put it back into the one running vista and everything worked fine so i put it back in the one running xp and nothing so im not really sure whats going on

ok so you know the card its self is fine, so it looks like a software issue or firmware on the card itself.
plug the monitor in to the mobo on the back panel of the computer and use the on board graphics then reinstall the drivers,
If that doesn't work try doing a windows repair in the setup screen, it could have lost the graphics drivers,
