All I did was unplug my existing CRT monitor and plugged in the new LCD
monitor and rebooted the PC.
Inital boot screen came up as well as windows logo etc but then screen
went black and nothing at all. Tried starting up in safe mode and still
the same.
So, plugged my old monitor back in and rebooted. Still went black!
Started in safe mode and it worked OK again.
Unfortunately, could not get it working again in normal mode. Tried
system restore - no joy. Repair install - no joy. In the end had to
reinstall XP to get it work again....
Any ideas why this happened? How can changing a monitor totally screw
things up?
I'm a bit scared to try my new TFT again now...
