Out of curiosity, did you redetect the display driver (not display adapter)? The new TV probably expects a different refresh rate, and this should update the expectations that the computer has stored. -- +-------------------------------------------+ | Michael Surato | | College of Arts and Letters | | Michigan State University | | 320 Linton Hall | | East Lansing, MI 48824 | | Voice: (517) 353-0778 Fax: (517) 355-0159 | +-------------------------------------------+ >>> On 10/23/2008 at 1:31 PM, MSU Network Administrators Group <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > Hey, > This is on topic but not university related, but I found annoying. > I set up a computer for an older lady that is a friend of our family that she uses to check email once in a while and play her solitaire and majong. She can not see very well at all so she had a 27” HD LCD TV and I had all the visual accessability features on and it was in 640x480 resolution (I think*.it was whatever the largest was). Anyway, that TV she had died and when I bought it on her behalf I got the best buy service/replacement plan on it so they gave her a new LG HD LCD TV 27”. I got her computer hooked up to it with the DVI-HDMI cable and it posts, starts loading up windows (WIN2k) and then the tv says “invalid format”. Of course at this point I cant do anything because I cant see the screen.

So there must be something set that the TV doesn’t like. > So my question is this*is there a way to force win2k to start up in VGA MODE all the time without having to hit f8 and do all that because she cant really see well enough to know when to hit it and what to choose etc. Or know of another way that I can somehow change whatever it is set to to an option that will work? > Thanks! > Ehren J.
