Diabled display driver dell dimension XP

(disabled display )While trying to get my computer to install/apply the correct drvers for my monitor I disabled the monitor. I tried every option provided in the F8 options(safemode, VGA, etc.) but nothing works there. Found a detailed list on this site on how to enable the drive blind but it is apparently not the same keystrokes for my pc. I also tried putting in my windows restoration disk but can't see it either. don't have access to another monitor currently. Please help!

System specs
Have you tried unplugging the computer, press the power button while unplugged, pull the video card if it is not onboard video. Then plug everything back in, turn it on and hopefully you at least have the monitor working on basic VGA drivers.
