hi. my friend has a pentiumIII unit and he wanted me to reformatt his HDD..
so.. i did the format stuff and install xp just like any ther i did..
then the problem..
before i formatted the HDD. i turned on the cpu.. and it was xp already.. and was on 1024x768 resolution..
then. after i format and re install xp.. (used the xp cd not win98->xp) the problem is after the windows logo/ loading bar is finished..
the monitor turns off as if it cant support the resolution..
many times i tried to restart -- all same results..
so. i went safe mode.. and vwalah.. it's all fine at 800x600 16-bit resolution..
so.. i disabled the video driver.. and restarted it..
and this time normal.. NOT safe mode..
and vwalah.. it's all good.. the monitor off is fixed..
and another problem... i can't switch the resolution to 1024x768 32-bit..
can anyone help me?. or must i go win98 first then install xp?..

This re-install appears to have wiped the driver for your graphics card. Get an updated driver for that card and install it, re-enable the video and you should be ok.

Without knowing the make and model/number of your graphics card I couldn't say.
Can you come back to us with those details?
