There's only one profile Ben (for video, user account, and hardware profile). This is my test PC that uses a lesser video card than my ATI AIW. Under Display Properties, the monitor can't be clicked, removed, or changed.
There's no monitor listed in the Device Manager in safe mode, so I can't "remove" it. I do have a monitor listed on my main PC in normal mode, so I don't know if this is normal for safe mode or not. Under "hardware profiles" I only have one profile, and it can't be changed to reflect any refresh rates, nor can another profile be added! I created a new user account, enabled "Fast user switching" in Services, but that service must have "Terminal services" on but it can't be turned on in safe mode! So, I can't switch users. Even after restarting, I don't get any logon screen. I was hoping I'd be presented with another user login since that would have default refresh rate settings. Ah, I found a way. I started in "Enable VGA mode". To do that, I hit the F8 key while booting, then it gives you that menu. Then when in VGA mode, I was able to change the refresh rate. -Clint Happy Holidays to all & God Bless Clint Hamilton, Owner http://OrpheusComputing.com ) http://ComputersCustomBuilt.com -----Original Message----- Ben Moore What monitor profile is it using? See if you can change that. If it's using an incorrect one, rename the profile so it can't. Hopefully you can get back to something like default monitor that will lower the refresh rate. As a last resort reinstall the video drivers but you have to wipe the registry settings for the old ones before you reinstall. Ben Moore -----Original Message----- Support-OrpheusComputing.com My 19" monitor on my SP2 test PC is out on loan. I had to use the PC, so I had to hook up a 17" backup monitor. Windows won't display because the refresh rate is too high for the 17" monitor. So, like I always do, I restart in safe mode to change the refresh rate. WRONG! In the drop-down there's no refresh rate selections in safe mode, only "adapter default"! I clicked "OK" anyway, restarted, nothing, same thing. I can't even lower the resolution to something that supports the current refresh rate! How am I going to get around this? -Clint ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
