Default NVIDIA, boots to "Out of Frequency Range"

I have a 10 mo old Dimension 4600. This morning I was updating to the latest
drivers for the NVIDA Geoforce 5200. I followed the on line instructions and
dclicked the dloaded file and then it rebooted. However after I logged on in
the reboot the on screen message recommended that I don't continue as the
drivers weren't XP approved. So I selected to not continue. Anyways it was
as if it had already installed as that's what it said moments later.

And when all was done the screen was low resolution and low colour. I
selected the highest and then after restart it boots to a small test pattern
with the phrase below it "Out of Frequency Range" (H:92,5 khz and V58.1).

The computer will not boot past that for me to reselect anything.

I need your advice.

Much appreciated

I think you confused it. Reinstall the drivers you downloaded and say OK to
the fact that they are not XP certified. Doesn't matter.

Try booting in safe mode. (tap f8 while the computer is booting) This should
allow you to boot to a low resolution/refresh rate that the monitor will
accept.

You could then either "roll back" the driver in device manager (highlight
your display adapter in device manager, right click Properties and go to the
"Driver" tab, choose "Roll back driver") which should get you back to your
previous settings and/or try installing the updated driver again. Ignore the
"driver not approved" message and choose install anyway.

P.S. You didn't mention where you were getting the driver update from. I
always get mine directly from NVidia and they have always proven reliable.

I thought I did try going to safe mode but after these c: locations of
certain...partition files, I think that's what was in the root, come up on
the screen I still go to the "OUT of FREQUENCY" screen again .

I dont have alot of experience selecting safe mode. Am I doing something
wrong to not be able to get it to finish booting so I can do 'stuff'?

Thanks for your advice

I got to safe mode but was unable to roll it back.

Do I uninstall the driver before reinstalling or just reinstall?

Which driver do I need if I have the Geforce 5200 with 128 MG?

Thanks for your help.

Go to the NVidia driver link I posted. They've made it 1-2-3 simple.

Select "Graphics Driver" in the first box. The second box will then give you
three choices of card types. Choose "GeForce and TNT2." In the third box
choose your operating system and click go. The download page will have a
link titled "Installation Hints" discussing among other things what to do
with your old driver.

I have the same system and I downloaded ther driver from NVIDIA with
no problem. Although, I get an error that it wasn't approved for XP it
works fine. NVIDIA's site has the most up to date driver. The one on
Windows Update/Dell's site didn't work causing low resolution so I
rolled it back with no problems
