If Something Goes Wrong
Resolving a hardware conflict
If you are using an external monitor:
❖ Check that the monitor is turned on.
❖ Check that the monitor’s power cable is firmly plugged into a
working power outlet.
❖ Check that the cable connecting the external monitor to the
computer is firmly attached.
❖ Try adjusting the contrast and brightness controls on the
external monitor.
❖ Press
Fn and F5 simultaneously to make sure the display
priority is not set for the built-in screen.
The screen does not look right.
You can change the display settings by clicking a blank area of the
desktop with the AccuPoint II secondary button, then clicking
Properties. This causes Windows 98 Second Edition to open the
Display Properties dialog box. The Appearance tab of this dialog
box allows you to choose the colors for the screen. The Settings
tab allows you to choose the screen resolution.
The built-in screen flickers.
Some flickering is a normal result of the way the screen produces
colors. To reduce the amount of flickering, try using fewer colors.
A message tells you that there is a problem with your display
settings and that the adapter type is incorrect or the current
settings do not work with your hardware.
Reduce the size of the color palette to one that is supported by the
computer’s internal display.
The display mode is set to Simultaneous and the external
display device does not work.
Make sure the device is capable of displaying at resolutions of 800
x 600 or higher. Devices that do not support this resolution will
only work in Internal/External mode.
