Re: Booting problem

Thank you very much, I have a 17" fujitsu flat screen monitor, my text is not
sharp as it used to be with my last pc, I have tried to change the screen
resolution to 1280 x 1024. when I click ok I get a black screen show with a
grey information box telling me frequency out of range 46Hz - 86Hz please
change to 1280 x 1024 60Hz. but its just not letting me have that setting for
some reason

Brian,

With your help it looks like my problem has solved, I have since booted
several times now without a hitch, and thank you for the links to the
information on my pc, I will print it of for future reference, many many
thanks for your help.
I have a new resolution problem now.. (smiles). think I need a different
newsgroup for this.
best wishes Gerald

Glad to see you resolved one issue, sorry to hear another has risen. You're quite
welcome, glad to be of assistance.

Mention the problem you now have and I'll see if I can help, if not I'll send you
packing to an appropriate place for a possible resolution.

Thank for trying to help Brian, I have followed the link given and tried to
do as told down to making a backup folder of the note and named it temp, the
information i see is ..[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Home
Edition" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect

this is not the same as shown on the information link but I have xp home and
not professional .

is there something I should change in that text ?? sorry to ask you so much
but as a complete amatuer I just follow instructions. many thanks Gerald
