"Oversize Recommand Mode 1024 X1280" error

I had to make a new install of Vista X64 after my old hard drive crashed. I
also changed from a CRT to an LCD monitor.

After the main software installed and I was bringing up the desktop for the
first time, I received the "oversize" error message from my monitor and the
display blanked. I then rebooted into the "Safe Mode" and selected the low
resolution option and succeeded in getting the destop to appear for about 15
seconds before the display blanked and gave me the "oversize" message again.
I also tried to alter the display refresh rate to 60 and lower the resolution
in the "Safe Mode" control panel, but "Safe Mode" would not let me alter the
refresh rate.

I also called Princeton (monitor manufacturor) and they told me to hook up a
CRT long enough to get the Vista system to come up and alter the refresh rate
from the control panel.

I don't have a CRT on hand anymore, so I have to try and find one.

Anyone have any new ideas?

My configuration:
Gigabyte GA-K8U-939 motherboard
Athlon 64 3500 processor
2GB DDR 400
Nvidia FX 5500 8X AGP 256MB
Princeton VL173 LCD monitor
