When switching user get "Cannot Display This Video Mode" message
I have a new computer with XP and when switching from one user to another, the screen goes black and this message appears
"Cannot Display This Video Mode"
I am then unable to do anything but shut the power button and restart.
Any ideas what might be wrong?
Cannot display this video mode
I am having the same problem.Seems to be only happening to dell monitors.I have the 17inch LCD display as well and a geforce 4..Ive found overriding the refresh rate to what your monitor will handle for each resolution worked for me.That way when you run your program or in your case switching users and it tries to put it outside its display, it cant...Hope this helps with you as it did with me....Dell has an article about this you can find it at support.dell.com

According to a forum member on this post, "This is caused by the LCD monitor failing to autosense the refresh rate of the display adapter.
To resolve this problem, turn off the monitor for 15 seconds. During the startup, the monitor will detect the input signal and will now function normally."
