Win 7 upgrade error: Input signal out of range....
All set up appeared successful. Upgrade loaded. Then when loading Win from off line, got black screen with white block with message: "Input signal out of range. Change settings to 1440X900-60Hz." No way to do this; no cursor, no menus, no movement at
all. Vista worked ok. It wasn't out of range. How do I fix this?
A black screen may occur if there is a problem with the video card drivers and Windows 7. To resolve this problem please follow these steps:
1. Restart the computer.
2. Press the F8 key before it enters Windows.
3. Select the Safe Mode option in the Advanced Boot Options menu and press Enter.
NOTE: If Safe Mode does not work please retry the first two steps and select the Enable low-resolution video (640x480) option instead. If this option is selected your desktop will be bigger than usual – this is by design.
4. Once in your desktop, click on Start and select the Control Panel.
5. Select the Hardware and Sound option and then click on Device Manager under Devices and Printers.
6. Expand the Display adapters list – this should display the video card that is currently installed on your computer. Please note the make and model before proceeding.
7. Right click the video card under Display Adapters and select Disable.
8. Repeat this step if more than one video card is showing under Display Adapters.
9. Once all display adapters have been disabled restart the computer in normal mode.
At this point you should be able to get into your computer without a problem; however, your video card is disabled so you will need to download and install the latest drivers for it.
If you had noted the make and model of card when you were in the device manager you can search for this on the internet and/or contact the hardware manufacturer for help.
Once the drivers are installed correctly on the system you should be able to boot normally without any resolution problems.
Also try to boot the computer to Enable VGA Mode: Here are the steps.
Hold F8 key while booting your computer and select “Enable VGA Mode" after getting windows. You should decrease resolution from the display properties menu, because your monitor doesn’t support your current display resolution.
