Input Signal Out of Range - Seriously need some advice

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support (More info?)

Hello,

I'm having some serious problems with my display recently and for the life
of me cannot figure out how to get around it. I have an ATI All-in-wonder
9200 and XP service pack 2 installed. I recently bought a new game and when
it didn't display correctly, installed the latest drivers for my graphics
card.

Upon restart I received the message "Input signal out of range" and could
only get a display if I started XP in VGA MODE. I rolled back the drivers,
but still had the same problem, and so eventually resorted to restoring the
disk from a ghost image, but strangely enough I'm still getting the same
error.

The monitor is a Neovo f-417, and as far as I know I have all the correct
drivers installed.

I'm at a complete loss now and would really appreciate any advice you could
give me.

Thanks in advance

Jamie

I have tried this, but the frequency is currently on the lowest setting,
anything else it might be?

This is one of the troubles I have seen with LCD screens - they usually
should be set to refresh at 60Hz, and often can't handle higher than
75Hz.

When you go into display properties, does the "monitors" tab show up? If
so, you may be able to turn off the DDC detection and override the
refresh rate.


If all else fails, you may have to completely uninstall the graphics card
driver, so that it comes up normally in VGA mode, where you can then
reinstall the driver. You should also uninstall your monitor device in
this case, too, so that it redetects that as well.
