[dba-Tech] Monitor Resolution Issue

Boot in safe mode change the resolution.

Probably the refresh rate is to high or not supported for that
resolution by the monitor.

Onderwerp: [dba-Tech] Monitor Resolution Issue


Hi All,

Situation:  user of WIN98 box, attempts to set monitor screen resolution

to 800 x 600.  For some reason, this monitor looks squiggly when that 
selection is made, even though the monitor is SVGA and should easily 
accept it - he clicks Yes in the message box asking if he wants to keep 
the setting.  Now, the screen is fairly scrambled - vertical  rainbow 
sort of effect - I think rather like the rolling of a TV screen when the

vertical and horizontal holds don't work right.  Waiting a few moments 
for Windows to decide the setting is no good didn't help.  Rebooting 
didn't help.  Is there a way one of you knows about to return the 
resolution setting to one this monitor will accept?  

I'm thinking about dragging a spare monitor that I know works at the 800

x 600 resolution, plugging that in, resetting the resolution, and 
swapping back his old monitor.  Any other ideas?

Thanks,
Tina
