    Default "CANNOT DISPLAY THIS VIDEO MODE" :( :(

    Default "CANNOT DISPLAY THIS VIDEO MODE" :( :(

    I'm using the default resolution 1280x1024 60hz. I have tired others, but they don't seem to work. If I hit delete and go in the bios while posting, the monitor just say "Can't display this video mode" even if I wait a minute. kaddy69

    Default "CANNOT DISPLAY THIS VIDEO MODE" :( :(

    I have a Radeon 9600XT Video Card. I have been experiencing problems. Everytime my PC boots up a message, in white lettering, appears. It says ?Cannot display video mode?. The only happens on my New Dell E193FP LCD monitor. This occurs when Windows is loading. Once it reaches the login screen...
