Maybe my post on this subject did not get through. Had the same problem some
time ago. Computer expert told me to unplug the video card from the computer
and let the computer boot up. After the computer has finished booting up,
shut it down by removing the power. Then plug the video card back in and
boot up again. When you boot up without the video card, Windows will
uninstall it. When you boot up with the card back in, Windows will
re-install it, but with the default parameters, which should operate any
monitor that has the right connector. Worked for us!

than nothing, I guess. This is why I am anxious to get my other computer

it boots up including the "del" key which brings it up into the "bios". I
also tried turning off the computer and turning it back on and all it does
is come up into "scan disk". Just can't make it come up into "safe mode".
I was trying to get into the display settings but that is one of the
problems I am incurring. Also a new problem is I can't make the
"reset(reboot)" button work as well.

working fine at turn off. I turned it on later and the monitor only briefly
displayed the green LED and no raster. I figured the power supply took a
dump. I found the flyback would only give two small rings and mostly
flatlined. I had another monitor to use until I located a flyback. Now for
the new problem.... The monitor shows the boot-up information but as soon as
it gets to the desktop display, the horizontal is extremely off frequency.
I can not bring it up into the "safe mode". I am thinking it is something
to do with the video settings but I can't get into them.
