Okay, I installed the apple drivers and in the ati driver that pops up when you start it said something about turning off tv output or something like that,
I was messing around with a brightnes slider and slided it so that I could not see the screen at all.
I tried to slide it back but lost where my cursor was.
Now when I boot up windows it is just the first windows XP loading then a black screen. I tried safemode menu but I could not see it(if I even booted into it)

anyone know how to reset my brightnes?

During the Windows boot process you'll be prompted to press F8 for boot options. Select "Save Mode" and press Enter. When it finishes booting, open the ATI control panel and move the slider back to the middle. Problem solved.

I had to do something similar back in the NT 4 days because a coworker selected a resolution not supported by his hardware-and NT just gave up. Safe Mode allowed me to select a supported mode for him and I was a hero! (And I told him never to mess with his video settings again, too!)
