I believe the jpac is going to give you a split-screen in bios/xp startup by design. Soft15kHz doesn't work until you've booted into windows.

What resolution are you trying to display in Windows? Be sure to install QuickRes so you can access resolutions under 800x600. Try starting at 640x480 and going lower.

ERRR I did not isntall quick res
I thought i could change res through Vanta..

I drop the res to 640x480 and i had a hard time seeing what on my desktop. since i have a new lcd monitor. it was shaky

I will install quick res..
I hope this work..
Need to figure out how to know when windows is fully loaded. so i can switch on my Wells.. I was told to boot
both together is dangerous.. AND i could damage my monitor. I though with Jpac that protect it. until booth..
Please Advise.. Thanks you...

It will almost certainly not damage your monitor. It COULD, but as long as your signals are only 'just' out of range, you're probably reasonably safe.

Use QuickRes to drop down to like 320x240. For actual work on the machine, I'd recommend doing everything via something like VNC, remotely.
