Hey Sajha folks/tech people,

I just got a DELL desktop/tower (inpison 5305). Just a regular desktop wi th windows vista. I have an old/used monitor with me, so I only bought the tower. When I connect the tower to my old monitor with a VGA cable that came with the monitor, the operating system(vista) does start/boot. But then once I enter my password, the monitor goes blank and gives the following message:

OUT OF RANGE

VGA IN   : 1024 cross 768

H.SYNC  : +       68.5 KHZ

V.SYNC :  +       84.7   HZ

CLOCK  : 184.0       MHZ

and thats it. I am just dying to use my desktop, and I am stuck at this point. Do you think this is a problem with the monitor? Thanks in advance for your suggestions/help.
