Correcting Video Display Problems
If the system’s video display is black, not synchronized, or distorted after you restart the system,
you may have a video configuration problem.
Do not press
CTRL

ALT

DEL
to log on to the Windows NT operating system. Instead, try to
correct the problem by using the Last Known Good option to return the system to the last known
good configuration recorded by Windows NT.
To use the Last Known Good option:
1.
Power down and restart the system.
2.
Press the space bar at the following prompt:
Press space bar NOW to invoke the Last Known Good Menu
If using the Last Known Good option fails to correct the video display problems, you can obtain a
functional video resolution by restarting the system in VGA mode.
To restart the system in VGA mode:
1.
Power down and restart the system.
2.
At the boot screen, select the VGA mode option.
After logging on to Windows NT in VGA mode, check for the following common configuration
problems and solutions:
♦
A multi-sync monitor is selected, but a graphics display device with different video timings
(such as an Intergraph InterVue monitor) is connected to the system. Select the appropriate
monitor type as described previously.
♦
The monitor selection is inappropriate for the monitor connected to the system. Select a new
monitor.
♦
There is not enough video display memory to support the selected graphics resolution and
color depth. Install and reconfigure the video display to use a lower resolution and color
depth.
Restart the system and, when the boot screen displays, select the appropriate non-VGA version of
the operating system to use the reconfigured video display driver.
If problems persist, contact the Customer Response Center for help.
