Hi,
I understand that after changing the display settings, you are unable to
start the system. It displays error message 'out of range' when you start
the system in normal mode.
Please try these suggestions and check if you are able to start the system
in normal mode.
Start the system in safe mode:
1. Restart the computer, and while it is restarting, press F8 until the
Startup menu appears. Press 3, and then press ENTER to start the computer
in Safe mode.
2. Right-click the desktop, click Properties, and then click Settings.
3. Click Advanced, click Adapter, and then click Adapter Default from the
Refresh Rate list.
4. Click OK, click OK again, and then click Yes to restart the computer in
Normal mode.
You can set the colors and screen area to your preferences under Display
Properties
Reduce Display Settings
To reduce your display settings, follow these steps:
1. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
2. Double-click Display.
3. Click the Settings tab, and then write down the settings for Colors and
Screen area.
4. In the Colors or Color Palette box, click High Color (16 bit).
5. Move the Screen area or Desktop area slider to 800 by 600 pixels, and
then click OK.
6. If you are prompted to restart the computer, click Yes.
Change the Refresh Rate for Your Video Adapter
1. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
2. Double-click Display.
3. On the Settings tab, click Advanced.
4. On the Adapter tab, click Adapter default under Refresh rate, and then
click OK.
Note If there is not an Adapter tab, you cannot change the refresh rate for
your video adapter.
5. If you are prompted to test the setting, click OK.
Hope you are able to start the system in normal mode again.
Thank you,
Rashmi

| I think I need to get into safe mode in order to change
| my desk to display settings. I installed a program and
| went to open it then it said to change display settings,
| after going from the ground up I went to high and now
| after the windows start up page and as it goes to my desk
| top I get a black or blank monitor with a red "out of
| range" and that were is stops. Help, help please.
| Windows 2000P doesn't make it easy to enter "Safe Mode".
| Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

| able to send this otherwise.
