hiya,hope i'm posting in the right place:confused:,my problem is i wana upgrade to win7 from vista,when i run upgrade advisor everything is fine,so when i run installation it all goes great to near the end,shows the windows is starting up screen,then boom "out of range",i have tried 2 enter safe mode but it wont let as windows installation is not complete,have tried switching of monitor and back on to no avail:(.

I am using an old analogue lcd beko 17inch widescreen tv as monitor,and it works fine on xp and vista,my card is radeon x1650 series,been on the ati website and can make head nor tail of it,
help would be much appreciated,ty in advance
 

The video adapter setting for updating the screen (the refresh rate) is incompatible with the monitor.
do you have a usb stick? and what is your OS x86 or 64

Not sure this work this late in the game. You can change this stuff later when win is finished
Usb stick or floppy create a .txt file on it and add this. You don't want the CODE boxes. If X86 just change the amd64 to x86
Now rename to AutoUnattend.xml. Restart

Credit to Veegertx posting or I wouldn't have seen this.

Here is how you should install Windows and how to disable the video card driver while doing so:

Device Manager - Access During Windows 7 Installation - Windows 7 Forums

Guarantees success every time in these situations. Enjoy.
 

I knew about shift + F10 as I use it a lot but didn't know about the device manager

I actually install with more control not having to answer all them ?
Ask your Seven xml ? here written by maxXPsoft
