Out of Range

[Nathan]

Bought a new Radeon 9600 (non-pro, non-se) and have done
the following:

Uninstalled old nvidia drivers
Updated BIOS
Updated 4-in-1 Via drivers
Installed latest ATI driver (4.5)

Everything goes great until Windows cylon splash screen
when monitor goes black and I get an "out of range"
message on my monitor (to be clear: this is a monitor
message, not a Windows error). I can hear the boo-bee-boo
song after a while, so Windows appears to boot correctly
in spite of the black monitor. I can also shut it down
(windows button/up/return/right/return) and I hear the
shut down music and the computer shuts down.

Here are my specs:

Windows XP Home
ASUS A7V-266E
Athlon XP 1800+
Radeon 9600 128 MB
512 MB Crucial PC2100 DDR RAM

Lowering the refresh rate on the monitor settings often is the solution
here.

Sorry for the obvious question, but how do I go about this?
