display driver problem
My Windows Me system has developed a system strange to me. During the
bootup all is normal till the loading of Windows. The most frequent symptom is a display on the monitor warning that there is a mismatch in the frequency of the graphics card and that of the monitor. It reports the horizontal frequency as too high. Nothing can be done from that point but a restart. The "solution" has been to boot into safe mode, which does work, and then to reinstall the NVidia display driver. This is a tiresome process that must be repeated at each startup. I can not tell whether this is a hardware problem, perhaps the card or the hard drive storing the file with an error, or software. Has anyone run into this and found a diagnosis? Thanks |

ControlPanel/Display/Settings/Advanced/Adapter/RefreshRate... there are several choices, Optimal, Default, and possibly some real numbers. Playing with that might prove helpful. nVidia utilities might help you set a fixed rate; refer to your graphics card and monitor's user manual as to what the best rate might be. Rick |
