BootCamp Prob- black screen on XP startu

Hello. After searching the mac forums for a while, it seems like no one else has experienced this problem. All similar problems with black screens occurred during Windows installation, not once it had been installed.

Here's my problem:

I installed boot camp just fine, no problems. Hold option key on startup, and I get 2 options: Macintosh HD and Windows. When I selected Windows for the first few days, it would load up, no problem, and I would be able to run Windows XP.

However, all of a sudden (i.e. didn't download or install anything on either partition that would mess things up) when I select the Windows partition at start up, it goes to a black screen (I don't even see the windows startup logo), and stays like that until I hit the power button on my mac pro tower.

I'm not sure if it matters, but during this black screen process, my keyboard is non responsive. Someone please help me!

We're both screwed!

I'm having the exact same problem. Apple won't support us because it's technically a Windows problem. Don't waste your money.
