Ok I tried to put a 17 in mont on my pc, I have a ATI rage 128 16mb card in there and it works fine, untill I try to put my DELTA FORCE 1 game in. When I start the game the screen goes blanke! and then a small window opens up and it reads " cannot scan information"....HHHmmmm being the noob that I am I go to the ATI web site and download a driver 4 the card...bad move...Now when I turn on the pc it boots up fine then right before windows starts IT GOES BLANKE!...Ive tried a SAFE BOOT In f8 turned my res dawn...but still no luck!!!!what should I do

do u still have the old driver for you ATI?
if do, then that is good new.

just restart to safemode again and right click on C: then choose properties.
go to device manager.
click on the (+) plus for Diplay adapter and right click on the item below it then choose remove.
Now restart the computer and it will said new hardware found.

here just reinstall the driver.

Good luck

Safe mode will do that. It loads a minimal amount of drivers, including a default VGA video adapter. So you can't change your res in safe mode. But what you need to do while in safe mode is go into your device manager, and remove the ATI display adapter, then reinstall with the older drivers, to overwrite them. Then reboot into normal mode, and change your res there.

Safe Mode should bring up your desktop in 640x480. What does it bring up? (Screenshot/Photo would be helpful :D)
