I have a Gateway DL31-1 monitor. My monitor supports
640x480 at 60, 70 and 72 HZ (in all color modes) and 800x600 at 60 HZ only
(in all color modes). On vista boot-up I cannot see the Boot manager with
the OS
choices on RC1 and RC2 (scrambled video). Boot manager is there because if I
press the down arrow and then enter, I boot to my previous OS (XP). I assume
it uses a higher refresh rate
than my monitor can handle or possibly a higher resolution. I can see the
green bars after boot manager exits and the rest of the boot process
(possibly changing refresh rates?). If the NO GUI BOOT option is checked, I
cannot see anything until my desktop pops up. I guess it uses the same
refresh rate or resolution as boot manager. I've looked in bcedit and can't
seem to find a way to fix this. Any ideas? I don't want Vista to ruin my
monitor. This is something that needs to be fixed before public release.
