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 I shut it off and hit f8 to get the boot options menu and if I choose “VGA
MODE” from the startup options it works just fine. 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!
