Default monitor problem

when I turn on the computer I get the following message,

" If you can read this message windows has succesfully initialized this display adapter.
To use this adapter as part of your windows desktop, open the display option in the control panel and adjust the settings on the settings tab."

The problem is I can't get into windows all I have is a blank screen with blinking curser, any help would be appreciated.

Default monitor problem

This message is found on secondary video adapters on multi-display systems, it
assumes that the 'other' monitor is already plugged into the 'other' display
card. It also occurs on twin head video cards where the monitor is plugged
into the secondary port. And on systems where an add in card has been added
but the motherboard display adapter is still configured. Or it might just be a
bug. Initially look for another connector identical to the one the video cable
is connected to and try that instead. If it turns out to be the motherboard
connector, you may have to disaple on-board video in the BIOS to use the add
in card.
