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...
