monitor refresh/adapter question
I just switched my monitor refresh rates in w2k from 60 to 76 and it looked fine. When I restarted I got a corrupted pic at about 65-80% along the "progress" bar on the startup screen. I think it continued to load, but all I could see was the top half of the screen and a bunch of red and white vertical bars.
After a bunch of swearing and uninstalling/reinstalling different versions of the drivers in safe mode, I am back up.
My question is why would the settings work when I hit "apply" but then corrupt the startup?

At default settings the refresh rate in W2k doesn't actually apply until after you restart your comp. :)

Oh ok, that must be it....I sure was mad!
who would have thought that a radeon 32 ddr/sun (sony trinitron) 21" monitor combo couldn't do 76hz:rolleyes:

I went through the same thing when I changed my monitor and still had the old drivers from the previous one. :o :)
