New monitor.

[pipsqueak]

OKies here goes....

After reading I am assuming you are connecting your monitor to a lap top and plan to use the monitor is your only display.
There generally are two main possibilities that will cause this.

1. There is a CRT/LCD switch on your laptop. You press it once (function Key plus (laptop/CRT icon)) and it turns both of em on. You do it again and it goes solely to CRT. Some CRT displays will not show images if the image is being shared on Lappy's screen. Try pressing the function/button key combo twice.

2. Native resolution is not supported by the monitor. You can check this by starting the system in safe mode (lowest resolution/ no bells and whistles loaded) and try to use the function to swap around till you get an inage.

Let me know what you find (in detail) and I will help you resolve it.

Kind regards,
Pip.
