| I'd bite the bullet and stick with "B" on this one. A bit tricky though | |

| I would have to go with "B" also. | |

| "B" is the answer | |

| If the refresh rate is set incorrectly most monitors will display "Unsupported mode" or "Invalid Sync". | |

| Yup - gotta go with B on this one too - I had this problem just the other day while building a PC for a friend out of spare parts left over in my garage. | |

This error message will not be shown with incorrect resolution or bad monitors and grapics | |

| NetChild1985 2002-03-28, 1:46 pm |
| opps..the answer is B!

| B and D. | |

| The Microsoft Answer: B
In real life:
The User changes the Refresh rate to a Resolution,that the Monitor will not support.All of a sudden the Monitor displays "unsupported Mode"
In the Background,Windows suggests that you choose "yes" if you want to keep Settings.If not,it will simply go back to the original Setting.Because the User can't see this Message and is just staring at a blank Monitor,the Desktop should be restored within 15 Seconds.
Am i right? | |
