Monitor Trouble! It Says "Out Of Scan Range" and i cant do anyting. please help
i searched for this problem on forums, but none were like mine...

i know i need to set the resolution lower..but i cant see anything on the screen, i tired to boot in safe mode, it says the resolution is in 600x800. (but i think thats just the safe mode resolution, cause i have no options to change it)

what do i have to do in safe mode to get the computer to work normally again??? can i reset something, or delete something? i'm just really stuck here and need some help, thanks.

Two ways:

1. Boot into Safe Mode (F8). Change the display to 640x480 or 800x600 AND CLICK OK. Don't click CANCEL. Then boot back into normal.

2. Boot into Safe Mode (F8) and uninstall the video drivers. Then boot back into normal. Cancel out when Windows offers to install the drivers again. Then go to the website for your video card and download the drivers from there. (Don't use the ones that Windows wants you to use, get the reference drivers.) For instance, if you have a GeForce, go to http://www.nvidia.com.

onboard
hi, this has happened to me before... when my brother changed the resolution too high, i just turned off the pc, take out the graphics card, connect the screen to the onboard graphics, and turn it on... then i went to uninstall the drivers for the graphics, restart. put the card back on the motherboard. go in normaly, and it should pick it up, asking to install the drivers, pop in the drivers disc... hopefully it works. or get a friend with a realy big screen, plug it in, set the resolution back to 800x600, and plug your old screen back in.
