ArcadeVGA card & Fresh XP Installation Screen Problem??

[lettuce]

I am tring to format my C Drive with windows XP and do i fresh install, but for some reason the ArcadeVGA card doesnt seem to display the whole screen when initially setting up windows (the Blue Screen with White Writing setup), it displays the top half of the screen but the bottom half is blacked out completely, and thus i can not see what partition i am making, and which method im using to format the Drive. Has anybody come across this, and if so how do i get the whole screen displayed??

Could be wrong about this, does your version of the arcadeVGA have 2 outputs? Does the other output anything difference?

Without going into too many details your best bet is to use any card you have to do the install and then put in the a-vga card after windows is set up.

And with regard to Silver

If you are using an Avga2 don't forget to use the DVi out, not the "normal" looking video out - that is only for the arcade monitors.

Using an arcade monitor for the complete Windows setup from cold is not a good idea, as well as this problem mentioned, the install process attempts later on to change the screen to 800 X 600 which is also not good.
So, as has been mentioned, either use another card then swap out after Windows is installed or use a PC monitor via the DVI port if its an AracdeVGA 2 card.
