    What language is your computer using? Are you in Spanish?

    That error translates, roughly, to "Frequency outside bande" according to the dictionary.com translator. Are you using a radio, or some other device on your computer?

    Wouldn't that more likely mean that his video card is configured such that the monitor can't keep up with it?     Refresh rate, perhaps?     Horizontal and/or vertical sync, maybe?

      You're right; I totally forgot about that. Usually because I leave settings I don't fully understand alone (it works - don't touch it!), and while I sorta-understand refresh rate, it's not something I am 100% familiar with.

      Did you recently upgrade your video card or monitor, or change their settings?

         ....and while I sorta-understand refresh rate, it's not something I am 100% familiar with.

      I'm in the same boat -  I too do not profess to know all the ins and outs of it.

      I believe it is a function of what the monitor is capable of, and also the video card.    If the video card is capable of a higher rate than the monitor,  then the user must use the lower rate -  the monitor's.

      lachesis:    Also,  can you describe your monitor for us?    Manufacturer name, model number,   .... everything that identifies it.    With that info,  perhaps someone can find the correct settings for you.
