[. . . ] In other cases, mode type and refresh rate adjustments may be necessary. Use the utility program, which provided by video card manufacturer or production developer. To centering the display with
28
normal type (mode 3), and to reduce (decrease) the refresh rate with the monitor's specification.
Q: What kind monitors can display 800x600 mode or higher resolution mode?Explain and Suggestion: To display 800x600 resolution at 60Hz refresh rate, the monitor must be capable of synchronizing a 31. 5KHz horizontal scan rate (e. g. , NEC 2A, 3D). At 72Hz refresh rate, the monitor must be capable of synchronizing a 48. 0KHz scan rate (e. g. , Sony HG 1304, NEC 4D, 5D, Seiko 1450). To display 1024x768 interlaced mode; the monitor must be capable of synchronizing a 35. 5KHz horizontal scan rate (e. g. , NEC 3D, Seiko 1430 or 1440). To display 1024x768 non-interlaced mode at 60Hz, the monitor must be capable of synchronizing a 48. 7KHz scan rate (e. g. , Sony HG 1304, NEC 4D, 5D, Seiko 1450). To display 1024x768 non-interlaced mode at 70Hz, the monitor must be capable of synchronizing a 56. 4KHz scan rate (e. g. , NEC 4D).
Q: Windows screen won't come up, it kicks back to DOS prompt. Explain and Suggestion: Windows® 95 Inadvertently, certain configuration files (e. g. , msdos. sys, and command. com) have been changed in the system. Proceed to correct that, is re-boot the system with a system (Windows® 95) formatted floppy diskette. There are many reasons to causing the system booting-up with unappropriated steps. Base on Microsoft support wizard on their WEBsite, there are many technical articles to help users with this subject, such as troubleshooting with VXD errors, virus, Fatal exceptions, etc. , more details cover on each issue are descriptive and familiar with, and exclusively further to our support.
Q: System hangs-up after installing video driver. Explain and Suggestion: Today, most video drivers are developed for 32-bit processing and may require a channel to Code/Decode. Conflict between device drivers and TSR (terminate-and-stay-resident) programs will inverted the display, and are particularly effectual at crashing computer. The most
29
effective way to check for conflicts is to replace with the original video driver, or delete and re-install the current video driver to the system. Accomplishing IRQs (Interrupt Request Query) settings or troubleshooting the conflicts on hardware source may necessary. Most AGP video cards designed for Plug-n-Play, that means video card IRQ's setup which controls by main board's (motherboard) circuitry and BIOS. Physically pulling out other devices from system, and re-starts the computer. Confirm and modify your IRQ addresses with qualified computer technician.
Q: Multiple images or unreadable screen after loading video driver. Explain and Suggestion: There are a variety of reasons why the display might be distorted. Some older multifrequency monitors are unable to switch video modes without being turned off, then turned on again. If the problem occurring in windows, make sure that you have loaded that proper video driver, and that the driver is compatible with the monitor being used.
