(resolved)Out Of Range-error on monitor

hippielady · 05-04-2007, 11:41 AM

I was simply working on my computer, when I went into a program that changed the color on the screen-everything looked really funny, so I went to desktop properties and changed the resolution apparently to something it cant support as it is an older pc, the monitor is a Daytek 57A and after clicking apply to that setting, the screen went black and there is a greenish box with the words OUT OF RANGE
red | blue | green (boxes of color)
H: 30-54KHz
V: 50-120Hz
This box also keeps floating around the screen as if its a screen saver, I have tried rebooting into safemode, not working and I absolutely cannot do anything the buttons on the monitor are not even working! I need help!!!
Thanks in advance for any response! :)

Is this system running Windows 95?
Please tell us more about your computer.

You would be surprised how many people put one thing in the profile and post about another machine.

Can you try another monitor on this machine?

Hey thanks a bunch for all the help, but a tech guy finally came and he just reformatted the whole computer-which needed to be done anyway, and then by putting XP on it the monitor was for sure not capatable. So anyway I got a different monitor that can handle to resolution and its all good!
