I'm using a 17" Sony Multiscan CRT monitor. It works just fine with OS 9.2. However, out of the blue, whenever I now try starting up my G4 with 10.2, right as the gray background goes to blue, I get an "out of scan range" warning. I can't proceed at all, and end up having to restart with 9.2. I miss my Jaguar!

Any thoughts on the problem? Are there any 10.2 system files I could try deleting/moving to "reset" the preferences that are causing this problem?

Thanks!

Check the resolution and hz rating on it. that is usually what causes an OS to crash like that.

Try resetting your PRAM by holding the Command + Option + P + R keys at startup. Keep holding them down until you've heard 3-4 chimes.

OS X is pretty good about the scan range at the login screen, and if it worked fine before and is all of a sudden doing it, it might just be the monitor going bad.
