My friend's computer displays an "out of range" message on the monitor. It is an Envision LCD with a native resolution of
1680 x 1050 at 60 Hz.
Initial attempts to change the resolution in an attempt to get the monitor "in range" failed, resulting in not being able to boot up in Windows Vista Home Premium. Booting up in Safe Mode allows us to get to the Desktop but any attempts to boot normally resulted in a scrambled display with vertical black bars. Several attempts, at various resolutions, were made with no luck.
The computer and monitor were taken to the shop, it's still under warranty and my friend purchased extra service coverage.
The shop repaired the computer and we now have it at home. Unfortunately, the same problem exists. The "out of range"
error displays.
Before I attempt to change the resolution, I would like to hear from others about what could possibly be happening here.
Also, any recommendations for a fix?
Any help would be appreciated.
