10-4 IBM Personal Computer User GuideStep 3 Is anything displayed on the monitor?

There may be a problem with the system unit if:

• An error message appears. Find the error message in the section

“Error codes and messages” on page10-17 and take the action listed.

• A box containing an error code and message appears. Follow the

instructions in the message. For instructions on using Setup, see

“Entering Setup” on page6-4.

• The image on the screen is unreadable (the image is scrolling, blinking,

or flashing).

1. The monitor you attached ma y not be an SVGA monitor or you may

have selected a monitor setting that your monitor does not support.

Follow these steps to reconfigure your monitor:

a. Restart the computer. If necessary, turn the system unit off,

pause for 15seconds, and then turn the system unit back on.

b. When you see "Starting Windows 98" appear on the screen

during startup, press F8. This opens the Microsoft Windows 98

Startup Menu.

c. Select Choice 3 for Safe Mode and press Enter. This starts your

computer using the factory configuration settings.

d. When y our computer has completed startup, double-click on the

My Computer desktop icon.

e. In the My Computer window, double-click on the Control Panel

icon.

f. In the Control Panel window, double-click on the Display icon.

g. In the Display Properties window, click on the Settings tab.

h. See“Customizing display properties” on page4-3 for

instructions on selecting new monitor settings. If using a VGA

monitor, select 640 x 480 pixels in the Screen area and 16

colors in the palette.

i. Restart the computer. Your computer may take a little longer

than usual to restart.

2. If the monitor you attached is a VGA monitor and not an SVGA

monitor (older monitors may be VGA), detach the VGA monitor and

attach an SVGA monitor. Using an SVGA monitor allows your

computer system to take full advantage of Windows video function.
