hibernate prevents use of older moniitor?

[mm]

I am trying to fix up a computer with win2000 Pro and it seems to not
work with the old monitor I have for testing.

I start it up and it displays the first two pages well, then on the
next page it shows what I think is an un-hibernate bar which
progresses to the right and then it displays full screen a beautiful
Win2000 Pro screen, where that's all it says on the whole screen,
except at the bottom there is another scroll bar that is labeled
"Starting Up".

When that bar gets to the end, the next screen is mostly black with a
band that looks like the monitor is running at the wrong frequency for
the video controller.

IIRC control panel/display will take care of this, but I don't know
how to get there. I can't see what is on the screen, I can't see the
cursor, I can't see what I type, and when I press the Windows key, I
can't see any change! What should I do? Thanks.

I'm sorry. I mean there's a progress bar, not a scroll bar.
