vista not starting after upgrade

Hi, after upgrading XP SP2. Vista won't start. The Completing Update Screens (the one with the many dots) completes and the setup restarts my system. After the boot process i get a black screen with my mouse pointer, which is working nicely; that's all. Booting to Safe Mode either with Network or without or starting in VGA Mode didn't go any further. Except for Safe Mode which displays me Windows Version and "-Safe Mode-" on my black screen.
Interesting: Hitting "shift" several times give me the sound of the Pop-Up. But still nothing is displayed.

The pop-up sound indicates that the "StickyKeys" dialogue box has opened; which leads to the presumption that Vista is running "properly." It seems to me that the upgrade imported graphic drivers that aren't compatable with Vista. I'd suggest downloading and updating your drivers BUT you can't even see anything to do that.
For a little more evaluation of the Video Issue:
What Monitor type are you using? What graphic adapter are you using?
Here are some key sequences which will access some helpful features:
If this yields no results try opening the "task manager" this way
To Access the TASK MANAGER
CTRL+ALT+DEL; Down Arrow; Down Arrow; Down Arrow; Down Arrow; Enter;
If the task manager shows up; check to see if the explorer.exe process is running. This process enables the task-bar and other critical OS features. If it's not running File -> New Process -> "explorer.exe" -> Enter
If the task manager doesn't open and you want to try to launch the explorer.exe process anway, here's the single stroke key sequence to run it blind.
Windows Key; Tab; Tab; Up Arrow; Enter; type "explorer" (without ""); Enter
the complex key stroke sequence is:
Windows Key + R; type "explorer" (without ""); Enter
Hope this helps. -fgw
