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.

Re-boot into Safe Mode and uninstall the video driver. Then reboot and it
should re-install the driver with basic settings. The settings that Windows
has assigned for your display is "Out of range" of your monitor's
capabilities.

I can't boot up in SafeMode because Windows hasn't been installed yet. This
is the first time ever that the computer boots up using the installation DVD.
I'm not sure if there is an option to lower the resolution/frequency on the
installation screen.

I had this problem, installing with a SiS 65X based laptop, got round it by
plugging a monitor into the VGA port on the back of the laptop, then
completing the steps riker suggests. Just this minute it appears to have
booted using standard graphics driver and i have a output on both the laptop
screen and monitor.

Hope this helps.

I think this is EXACTLY the problem I am having. Everything installs properly
and I even got the system running fine once, but tried installing clean and
cannot clear the video settings this time around. HOW do I remove the video
drivers ?

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.
