just loaded a fresh install win xp and shifted the machine to its new
home and it doesnt like the 14" monitor we want to use it with.....
we cant change the display depth below 16bit......we can only see
windows in safe mode it just shows a garbled screen in normal mode

buy a compatible monitor, be sure the screen resolution is
set to 640x480 or perhaps 800x600, a 14 monitor won't
support more.

Did you install the latest available XP drivers for your video card? (DO NOT
rely on the Windows Update drivers!)

Replace the monitor. There are lower limits to what modern video cards
can do, as well as the usual upper limits.
