I wasn't sure wehre to post this, so here it goes.
OS: 98SE
The computer will boot up, but when it comes time for the desktop to come, there is an error message from the monitor:
OUT OF RANGE
Hf: 30kHz - 70kHz
Vf: 50Hz - 140Hz
Current:
fh: 94.8 fv: 59
Any ideas?
I wonder if that's the monitor's way of protecting it from bad resolutions. If you try to run a monitor at a resolution it doesn't support, you can damage it.
Can you get in to safe mode ok?
Not a problem getting into Safe mode.
BUt I don't know where to change the settings.
I right clicked on the desktop and went to properties. I tired to change it there, but there wasn't anything for it.
