Today I tried to set up our old desk top that we haven't used for like an year.
so I connect everything, and fire it up, and the LCD display shows a box saying "not optimum mode; optimum mode 1024x1080" and a yellow "?" below it. this box just wanders across the screen and then the standby light on the monitor comes on, and display goes black (turns off I think).
when I press the on button on the LCD, nothing happens.
The desktop sounds like it is running like normal...
that mode is the mode (resolution) that the desktop always ran! I don't why the settings would have changed...
of course I can't adjust or check anything because the display is blank !!!
i did it several times and same results!
any ideas on what I could do??
Thanks!!
when I press and hold the menu button on the LCD monitor, a box pops up saying "test ok"....so i guess the LCD monitor is ok ???
desktop is a Compaq Presario win xp home
monitor is a Samsung syncmaster LCD.
connected via a d-sub cable.
