Monitor not working after re-installing

Hello, I had a problem with my machine slowing down without adding any additional software to my computer. The company suggested that I should restore the software programs with my CD that came with my machine, which is Windows ME. I followed the directions in my guide, and had no problems in re-loading the software into my machine. The problem came up when I re-booted my machine. When the system boots up, I wee the "eMachine logo" then the Windows ME logo, and then a few seconds later my monitor goes blank. It seems to go into a sleep mode. I have tried re-loading the software again, I have checked all cables to make sure they are tight and secure, I have even tried another keyboard. The monitor was working properly until I reloaded the software. Do you have any suggestions as to what I need to try or know what I did wrong.

You probably have a problem with your video drivers. What is happening is that your video card is set at a resolution or refresh rate not supported by your monitor.
Boot into safe mode and switch your video card to standard VGA and then reboot. Once you are back into regular windows, load the proper drivers for your monitor and video card. Hopefully they came with your computer.

As your computer boots before windows starts to load, press F8. If you do it too early or late, it won't work.
