Correcting Video Display Problems

If the system's video display is black, not synchronized, or distorted after you restart the
system, you may have a video configuration problem. Do not press
on to the Windows NT operating system. Instead, try to correct the problem by using the Last
Known Good option to return the system to the last know good configuration recorded by
Windows NT.
To use the Last Known Good option:
1. Power down and restart the system.
2. Press the space bar at the following prompt:
Press space bar NOW to invoke the Last Known Good Menu
3. If using the Last Known Good option fails to correct the video display problems, you can
obtain a functional video resolution by restarting the system in VGA mode.
To restart the system in VGA mode:
1. Power down and restart the system.
2. At the boot screen, select the VGA mode option appropriate for your system.
After logging on to Windows NT in VGA mode, check for the following common
configuration problems and solutions.
u
A multi-sync monitor is connected to the system, but a multi-sync monitor type is not
selected, and the display driver cannot determine this by querying the monitor. Select an
appropriate multi-sync monitor type.
u
A selected resolution, depth, or refresh rate is not supported by the multi-sync monitor.
Try using different video display settings.
u
The Dual Screen option is selected, but only one video board is detected. Clear the Dual
Screen option.
u
A multi-sync monitor is selected, but a monitor with different video timings (such as an
Intergraph InterVue monitor) is connected to the system. Select the appropriate monitor
type as described previously.
u
The monitor selection is inappropriate for the multi-sync monitor attached to the system.
Restart the system in VGA mode, then select a new monitor as described previously.
u
A graphics resolution and color depth has been selected that exceeds installed display
memory. Restart the system in VGA mode, then open Display in the Control Panel to re-
install and configure the display driver as described in the video display adapter
documentation delivered with the system.
