screen gone

hi have spent all day loading small business 2000, everything went well for
a change for me, loaded all the drivers and it seemed ok, then when i booted
down and up again i have lost my monitor, i have connected another pc to the
monitor and it works fine. I remember a long time ago i set the screen res
to high in win 95 and similar happened, problem is cant get in to change it?
Anyone know as cant remember how we solved it?

Hi Phil,

Change the display setting while you have the other monitor attached, then
reattach the original monitor to see if you have the settings right.

Hi Phil,

Well, if you can't change the settings in safe mode, you will have to find
another monitor that will show you something. Or just keep on guessing.

Hi Phil,

Surely if you reboot, you get the BIOS screen first and right after that
press the F8 button. Are you saying you don't even see the BIOS screen? Sure
that the cable to the monitor isn't broke or something like that?

hi marina sorry to be a pain no i dont get the bios screen either? maybe its
not screen resolution, never thought of that, so need to try to attempt last
known good option in the dark hehe,
got me thinking why I'm not getting the bios screen now, i can here it
booting up but no monitor support?
Must have put the wrong monitor driver in when its been loading all the
drivers for SBS 2000?
I am looking at maybe killdisking it and starting agin tomorrow, but cant
even do that?
