ATI Catalyst!! HELPFollow

OK Don't laugh at me... But I was messing with some of my monitor settings in the Catalyst Software for ATI Readeon 9600 and have managed to get something out of wack. My computer boots but the monitor says "outof scan range" I have tryed fixing it in safe mode but it will do nothing at all. I cant even get to the settings in safe mode. Can anyone out there help me in anyway???

Thanks,
Xipe

How can I reinstall them if the monitor is not showing anything?? I am on a second computer... Can they be reinstalled in safe mode? I dont think they can it dosent even reconize the card in safe mode

Well, you do have a problem. The SW is probably trying to drive the monitor at to high a refresh rate. If the monitor is not blown, there are a couple of things to try.

* The monitor Refresh may be able to be set using the Monitor control buttons. If not, look for a reset switch somewhere. That would allow you to boot into safe mode and turn off the Catalyst drivers until you can re-install em.

* Get hold of a second monitor (but note, it would have to be a better one than yours if the Refresh is set too high.

* Boot from the Windows Install CD-ROM. THat will totally bypass all driver loading from the hard-disk and will use the default refresh rates.

* Go into safe mode and set the Drivers to the default VGA, XVGA, or whatever. Then, reboot and reinstall the Catalyst drivers.

Basically, you need to get your system re-initialized *without* using the Catalyst Drivers. In safe-mode, you can un-install the Catalyst drivers. Then you would be able to re-install and proceed normally.

Luck.

Also you should try looking for help at the ATI website. You probably will find more help then a website for a MMORPG.

Just my opinion. This should not have been where you should be looking for technical help.
