Vista - Video displays "Out of Range" at bootup

I try to do a clean installation of Vista Beta 2 on my Sony VIAO (SiS 651
Graphic Controller) with NEC LCD 1712 display. After the computer boots up
from the DVD, I got this message (from the display, not from Windows): "Out
of Range". I can't get pass this point to actually run the set up. Any
ideas?

Thanks.

"Out Of Range" usually means that your video refesh rate is too high. Try
lowering your refresh rate for the video card/monitor.

I'm not sure if there is an option to lower the resolution/frequency on the
installation screen. My monitor doesn't have that option, neither.

It means uselly your LCD resolution and/or the refresh rate is set up too high than the monitor is capable

Isn't that set in the installation program? If there is a way to specify
the initial resolution, I would like to know.

Mine was doing the exact same thing. Reboot your system and hit the F8 key
durring boot, you will get an options screen that allows you to select "Low
Resolution" boot mode. Select that one and Vista will boot normally at 640 x
680 resolution, once you get booted up you can run windows update and it will
grab the video driver you need to get your system running with your LCD at
normal resolutions.
