Have you tried setting the monitor back to 800 x 600 on a PC ???

Hi all,

I have a curly problem here.

I booted into OS 9 on this G3 that has an old(ish) pc monitor
attached.
I noticed the screen res was 800x600 so I changed it to 1024x768.
Pffffft!
Black screen with an orange power light, it does not revert either.

When I reboot all is well til it is just about to the desktop then
back to black:(

I've changed the settings in classic which didnt work upon starting
in OS 9.
Iv'e trashed monitor and system prefs to no avail.
I copied over another complete system folder which had no effect
either.
I've zapped the PRAM, still black.

This G3 had no issues with a different monitor so I realise the issue
lies with this one, but I just want to get it back to 800x600 now.
I'll try to get another old monitor later I guess.

BTW this monitor has displayed 1024x768 on PCs successfully.


Thanks
Paul
