I just dont dare to do anything until I am sure which one to do.

[poimhn]

Well, let me know on that. I have early meetings in the morning and so I am off to bed but thanks to all who have helped today. I will be back on tomorrow probably. Thanks so much once again. You all rock, especially Murray S.

Okay.. need to clarify.. You booted using the diagnostic you made and now it is asking which Windows you want to boot into??

Murray

[poimhn]

yes. That is correct.

[Murray S.]

Boot into the one that you can see with the monitor..

hey hey hey

Man guess wut I was messing around with stuff like that to and....I did that to my monitor too.but i didnt get the "change back in 15 sec" thing cuz i was over riding the setting. And know wut i had to do. I had to get 2 monitors. hook up the wrking one, then move the mouse to where i had to klick, plug the non working one in, click on it the plug working in , move mouse to where has to go, plug other in clik on it, and on and on till it is back. or you could just try plugging in a diff monitor then changing it.

I thought I had this but a cd wont work. As stated previously, I do not have a floppy drive on the problem computer. Powermax only gives me the option of loading onto a floppy disk. A CD will not work as it is not a given option. Suggestions?

Floppy drives are a dime a dozen.. Get one and install it.. That may be your last option now!!

Or, take the system to a tech and have them strip it down and re-install..

Murray

[poimhn]

well I have one, I just dont know how to connect it. Ill see if i can get someone to help me

[Murray S.]

That would be your best bet.. That way, the diagnostic program can be run the way it is supposed to!!

Hi poimhn...

I know you said early on that you could not boot into safe mode, but I would like you to try again. If you can get to the Options Screen with all the various safe mode boot up options, look for one to Enable VGA Mode: This option starts Windows in 640 x 480 mode by using the current video driver (not Vga.sys). This mode is useful if the display is configured for a setting that the monitor cannot display. This info was found HERE while researching another problem. Adjust your display settings as you normally would and reboot.

If that doesn't work, a "Trusted Friend" has given me a technique that is a little involved, but with a little patience it will probably work. Give the above option a try first.
