lost display

[johnnyrob09]

Hi, i am new to this forum and would like a bit of advice please. I have recently reinstalled the XP home edition to my mums Dell Dimension 2400 pc after she had problems with it, all went well, but i was left with 2 problems, the screen resolution was not adjustable and the keyboard wasn't functioning completely correctly. In trying to adjust the screen resolution, I have stupidly disabled the screen display when I went into the adaptor screen, hence, when I turn the pc on, I can't see any display. Can anyone help me please, my mum is not happy!!

Try hooking it up to an external monitor -

you can also try and get into safe mode - as when you first turn the PC on you should see the post screen, YES?

I have solved the non appearance of the screen after my **** up, by reloading windows again.

 

I still can't adjust the screen resolution though! and it is frustrating.

 

any help folks?

Is the XP that you reinstalled the original OS for the Dell? Not just XP home but the same XP home.

Have you re-installed all the Dell drivers for that machine?
