Replacing monitor

Asked Jun 9, 2003, 06:38 AM — 1 Answer
When installing a new(used) monitor,does the old one have to totally removed as far as software is concerned?
what I mean is,I unplugged the connections to the old one and plugged in the new one,worked for awhile,then got a black screen with the message"Monitor out of range".
Did not get the cd driver with it,downloaded the driver,now what do I do?
Thought W98 would auto. Look for it and load,am I doing something wrong?
Yes,I did restart the computer after plugging in the new monitor but still get that message.
thanks. For any help.

Re: replacing monitor
Try rebooting in safe mode (press F8 when you see "Starting windows" just before the windows logo appears). If it works--note it will be low resolution and only 16 colors--try setting the monitor resolution to 640x480 and 16 colors and reboot. Then try changing it back to your preferred resolution.

Hope this helps...
