URGENT Monitor Issue

[NevG]

Hi

I have recently reinstalled a box with W2K. This went aswell as normal but forsome reason my graphics card ishaving a bit of a problem.

1) When you reboot I get three beeps 1 long followed by 2 short. I then haveto hit the restart button.

2) Themonitor doesnt show anything until the bott process reaches thelogin prompt. Any ideas why?

I have checked thesettings of the monitor and ther are no conflicts anywhere on the system.

Anybody have any ideas of a resolution ?

Thanks

Nev

Have you tried a different monitor?

Have you tried a different video card? Jennifer Sigman

It could be the card. It's hard to say since you can't swap anything out. Jennifer Sigman

Do not worry about the beeps
Go to system in Control Panel look for device manger
move montior from list get out system and close control panel. reboot it will come up asking you for the disk

tick drive a: just go next untill it sayes finish
then reboot

Log on screen
go in conrol panel click on users and passwords
A sceen wil come up users untick a box call users must enter a username and password to use this computer

What does changing the user name and password have to do with a bad video card? Jennifer Sigman
