monitor problem
hi

I had two crt monitors hooked up to my g5 mac. Just purchased Acer P241W LCD monitor.

plugged it in, the G5 cycles through the start up procedure, on, then off, on then off.

I plugged in a crt (and unplugged the Acer) went to Acer support website, looked up drivers, but the drop down menu only had PC versions of operating systems, not mac.

does this mean this monitor will not work on a mac?

with the crt, the mac works fine.

I also went to preferences (with crt hooked up) went to displays couldent see any way to change it to lcd?

the vendor says that it should be "plug & play"

any ideas?
