Well..... I did do some searching but have quite found what I'm looking for. It appears to be a monitor issue (I have an Asus and an nVidia geForce 6150Se onboard video) seems the system is setup to run at 1928x1080 on Win xp. From what I have read so far if I switch it to 800x600 then shut down switch SATA cables around (as Ubuntu is on an other drive) and reboot will the hardware stay at that setting or will it go to default giving the same issue all over again. First I an updating the win drivers for nvidia I'm out of date on that one. Seems that nvidia has graphics driver 310.19 for Mint 13 might this work? Also read something about Xorg settings having to be tweeked but kinda got lost in that. As a newbie to Linux code can anyone offer a fix ? As a newb I'll need know how to get into terninal before screen gets to "out of range" and how to move around in terminal and do what needs to be done! Any help will be appreciated!
PS I've tried Xubuntu, Linux Lite and Mint 13 all with the same results " out of range"
