Q: my friends pc has an out of range error on xp he loads into safemode but gets the error STOP000021A error so he cant get there either any ideas please? thanks
A: I just had that happen to me last night. I searched and searched but couldn't find a good alternative. I loaded 1900x1000 or something like that into Catalyst Control Center for my 4870 and lost all viewing ability. In safe mode you cannot uninstall drivers so I just had to reformat the HD and load vista back into it... No harm for me though, I was needing to do it anyways. I did read a good post on the Tomshardware website where you could get a monitor that is good enough to view the settings you have loaded and get into windows that way to reduce the settings to proper for your other monitor...
