Perhaps your Windows  has configured another monitor .....

In safe mode, go to My computer, Click with Right button, Properties, Device
Manager, and check what do you have in Monitor.

Perhaps you have an 1024x768 Monitor and your cheap'n'new monitor cant do
that....well ...delete the "1024x768" and restart windows...

on startup it must install another monitor....if you have to choose, select
Standard VGA....must work.

or look for a geek at any computer shop around your home....

hope that help!

be carefull,


s

Subject: [PCBUILD] Monitor question


| I'm a new subscriber and have a problem already that I hope you can help
me
| with. Yesterday I went to Best Buy and bought a really cheap monitor ($99)
to
| hook up an old Gateway Computer I had sitting out in storage for my 12
year old
| son. It has Windows 95 on it and is a Pentium, but about 5 years old.
Anyway,
| when I hooked up the monitor, Windows won't fully load and all I can do is
| get it to run in safe mode. I figured it was something with the monitor,
but it
| won't let me do anything about that in safe mode. Can you help? Thanks in
| advance.
