Read the manual for your monitor. Then select a screen resolution that
your monitor supports. Also check the refresh rate configured for the
monitor (Display Properties, Settings, Advanced, Monitor).

If it is an LCD monitor, note that using any screen resolution other
than the monitor's native resolution will result in fuzziness due to
interpolation.

The only problem is that if the graphics output is causing an Out of
Frequency error on the monitor, there is therefore no display so how can you
change the refresh rate?
Regards Mike.

Safe mode is usually a low enough resolution and refresh rate for the
monitor to handle.

That's your monitor telling you that it cannot handle the output of the
computer's video adapter.

Boot into VGA Mode or Safe Mode and then set the display
(resolution, refresh rate, and/or number of colors) to something that
your monitor can handle. Consult its manual to determine acceptable
settings. Reboot one more time, into Normal Mode.

Geoff MULTI-posted in microsoft.public.windowsxp.hardware. Over there
he thinks he found a solution but no one here will see it because he
did not CROSS-post. No point in wasting time here in this DISCONNECTED
copy of his same post trying to resolve what he solved in his same post
in the other group.

My apologies for the mult-posting - actually I found the different
groups one at a times and ought to have found all before posting.

It seems that by upgrading the video card drivers the problem has gone
away. Why it suddenly appeared I do not understand.

No apologies necessary. Don't listen to the net cop. Glad you got it fixed.
