Solutions Try the following:

❑Switch off your system and wait a while before switching it on again.

❑Verify that any built-in VGA on your motherboard is disabled and that you have removed any other video display card from your system.

❑Ensure that your Graphics Blaster RIVA TNT2 Value card’s bus connector is fully inserted into the expansion slot. Ensure this by pressing it gently and evenly into the slot.

❑Verify that the pins of your monitor’s VGA Input connector are not bent and that the connector is properly connected to the VGA Out connector of Graphics Blaster RIVA TNT2 Value.

3.On the Settings tabbed page, click the Advanced Properties button.
