Have you checked that...

How

The monitor settings in your e-Vectra are

compatible with your monitor

• Windows NT: Enter VGA mode when prompted

during start-up.

• Windows 98 & Windows 2000: Restart the e-

Vectra. The Vectra screen is displayed. For

Windows 98, when you hear a beep, press F8 and

then start the e-Vectra in safe mode. For Windows

2000, when prompted, press F8 and then start

the e-Vectra in VGA mode. When the e-Vectra has

started double-click on the Display icon in your e-

Vectra’s Control Panel, then click on the

Settings button. Use the sliding control to reset

the resolution.

For other operating systems, refer to your operating

system’s documentation.

If the e-Vectra starts but you still have a

problem...
