Use a newer monitor to temporarily get the screen working again and then adjust the display settings so that it works with the other monitor.

You are prompted during NT4's boot sequence to choose between Normal or VGA mode, yes?

Assuming that the above is correct, enter VGA mode and change the display settings to something your monitor can handle.

During NT4's boot sequence I did not get to choose between Normal or VGA mode, Have almost worn the F8 key out and rebooting to get the VGA option. Finally I got the option and was able to reset the Monitor settings. Recovery options set to zero was the problem.( now reset to 4secs) and the option for Normal/VGA is is now there when rebooting.
Thanks for the replies from yourself and Griffyn

Good to hear you got it working, I thought that might be the problem if the menu was not being displayd.

If the same problem occurs in future you can change the length of time the menu is displayed by editing the boot.ini file on the C:\ drive.
