I have an old Dell desktop with Samsung monitor. I had done a msconfig to stop some programs from auto start at update: Adobe, Quick Time, etc. When I told the computer to restart, it did so , but when it restarted I am getting a red box that says No Connection, and Check Signal Cable.
I wonder if it needs a restore? But, if the computer won't boot at all, how do I do that? I remember something from ages past about starting in safe mode. Would this help me undo? If so, how do I get to that? I have forgotten.
Thanks
Donna

It sounds like a hardware problem. Check the cable but your video adapter may be blown.
