Uninstalled video drivers to update, now monitor gets no signal after uninstal reboot

Hello all. I bought a new 19" ws lcd monitor to replace my titanic sized crt yesterday. I got it all hooked up with no problems; everything worked fine and looked great. My ATI All-In-Wonder Radeon 8500 128MB video card is supposed to have a TV-Tuner which I haven't used in a while. It trns out the driver for it was fully functional so I downloaded the most recent drivers for my video card from the ATI website. They suggested using an uninstall program from their site before updating the drivers. I used the program which uninstalled all pre-existing ATI drivers, files, and programs. Once the unistall was complete I was prompted to finally reboot for the new setting to take effect. I didn;t fully think about this and rebooted. Now it seems my video card is not recognized at all. I get absolutely no input signal to the monitor. The tower boots fine. I blindly booted it and shut it down with the keyboard, but my monitor remains blank or showing the "No Input Signal" message. At no point does anything from the tower display on the monitor now. I've even tried switching back to the old non-DVI monitor, but no dice....

To me, the obvious solution would be to reinstall the video drivers, but I'm presented with the problem that I can't see what I'm doing at all. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated...

Try booting into safe mode if you can.

Boot into safe mode, under your normal user name(NOT THE ADMINISTRATOR ACCOUNT). See how here.> http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/tutorial61.html

Then, uninstall your current drivers and reinstall the drivers you were using originally.

See if that helps.

Only problem is I don't get any display even at the start of the boot cycle. I can't see when to hit F8 or when I'm being prompted to choose my boot method.
