Hello
I bouht a new computer.
Vista first time turn on setup goes up to the point - just before it asks you questions - chose your user name ... ... .
Monitor shows [OUT OF RANGE].
The monitor does not react to any menu controls.
I had to take the computer somewhere else and connect it to an older CRT monitor to continue with the setup.
After that, the soyo mt-ni-dylm1798 monityor works fine.
weird,,,
please help. I don't want to go through this every time I restore my computer to factory settings.
Thank you,
Walt

I've got this same issue with my computer but not the soyo monitor. My setup has been running for 4 years with the same hardware and setup. It was very random that this error occured right now and is still going. I'm running right now on safe mode and I still don't know what is causing it. I know it is something to do with the graphics card or settings in some way but I'm not sure what. Can someone give more insight?
To describe the issue further, it is really hard to even get to windows because the computer goes flat black after just booting it up. It doesn't even get to windows before going black, infact the message "Out of range" shows on both of my monitors right after going through the windows loading screen.

Re: "OUT OF RANGE"
Hi,
It is just that at the initial stage your screen resolution was a tad too high for the capacity of the monitor. As long as you retain the working resolution you should have no problem. To lower or increase, right click on any clear area of your desktop, click on properties, settings tab, adjust the Screen resolution to your preference as long as it is within the capacity of your monitor. Adjust soon as your monitor says out of range, click on escape and go back one step. click on apply and ok and this should hold till you manually change it again.
It's really of just the PC trying to give its best but the monitor was not up to it.
Good luck and hope this works for you. Post back how things are or should you need further information. Kind regards.
"Out Of Range" is more than just resolution. It means your video adapter is set to a resolution/refresh rate setting that is outside the range of supported signals.
Go into your Video Adapter's settings, look at resolution then the refresh rate (Hertz), and compare to those supported by the monitor.
When I had a similar problem, I noticed that somehow, the refresh rate was set at 59HZ which is unsupported. After changing to 60HZ (which is supported) the problem went away.

You need to put in the password that goes with the account you entered. If you enter a name of an existing account, you never guess the correct password and you can't get in.
First thing for every site or service with accounts is to setup an account. chose make account first. Then if you try to use a name that is already given, the system will tell you to chose another name.
Is it your Own Computer? If yes then follow this steps but remember this steps only works of there is a password in User account but not in Administrator account. Turn on the Computer, the place where it will ask the password there you Press CTRL+ALT+DELETE all together two times, you shuld press those key very fast, i mean once if you press those key then there shold not be time gape when you press next time. After doing that successfully then it'll show you a small window where it'll ask you user name and password, in place of user name just type Administrator and leave the password place blank and hit the enter. if there is no pass word in your administrator account then it should open up and you can go to control panel--user accounts--chose the user account which has the password and select remove password. Restart the computer and this time it'll not ask you for password.
IF there is a password in Administrator account then you need to find some password removing tools.
If XP press Ctrl+Alt+Delete together 3 times, Enter Administrator in the User Name section and then press enter.
If you are using windows Vista and 7 use your Windows Install disc(or a Bootable repair disk for Windows XP or if you just don't have an install disk ) click on repair my computer, chose the O/S and click next, click Command Prompt. Now Enter this Exactly:
net user (your user name) *
You will then be asked to enter a new password, enter and reboot. Login and carry on as normal
If using a custom made repair disk Launch command and follow the instructions above.
at device manager I right click multimedia audio controller. the one with a question mark. a dialog box appeared. I selected update driver. then vista ask me: how do you want to search for driver software? I choose browse my computer. Then vista gave me two options. I chose let me pick from a list of device drivers from my computer. A dropdown appeared with a list. I browse through the dropdown. The first time I chose intel because the chipset is from intel. On the right column I chose intel (r) ac '97. It did not work.
I tried to run my support cd. Again, vista said something like compatibility issue.
Then from the drop down soundmax integrated digital audio appeared, i highligted it and click next then just follow the prompt.
Then vista install the driver. Now my computer has sound.
Ok, right click on the computer icon and choose properties, then click on advanced system settings, a system properties window will appear, choose the computer name tab and click on network ID, you can change the network ID to home or work. The computer may ask to restart so that the changes are made in the registry
Create a new folder on your desktop and name it newhpdrivers(substitute your manufacturer in new name).Un-intall printer and printer software completely.Go to manufacturers website and navigate to their drivers/downloads or support menu.Select your model, choose the relevant software and download to the new folder you created on your desktop.Power down your computer.Reconnect the printer to the computer and turn printer on. Power on pc.Windows will detect new hardware and ask if you have the manufacturers install cd or a location to check for install files.Direct the wizard to your new software, follow the rest of the setup instructions and your done
p.s. look for the vista compatibilily update patch also.
In Vista there is a feature called UCI (user access interface ) that won't allow you to run or install system software. To install software you need to put CD in, if it goes autorun stop it.
Then you click on computer ,
click right button of mouse on cd and chose OPEN or EXPLORE, dont double click as it will go autorun again and you'll need to stop it.
Locate the installer file (setup or something.exe) in the CD contents.
Click right button of mouse on installer file (within cd files) and chose ' run as administrator ' from drop down menu
Grant access to installer file whenbever required by Vista.
It should be installed normally. If you still get problems after this it is probably a faulty CD.
If the password window has come for first time then don't enter any password. Leave the password window blank. In the user name enter Administrator and log on. If this does not help enter administrator or admin in password field. But this should be second option.
My suggestion is that you downgrade from Window Vista to Window XP as till date Windows Vista has lot of bugs relating to security issues.I myself have done that.
