any advice on this monitor problem?
I bought a used viewsonic monitor. The guy said it was a Dell.
The model seems to be Viewsonic - Ultrabrite A70f+.
When the pc boots up, and after I see the Windows XP screen, the monitor screen gives me this message.
turn off mode in 5 seconds.
What do I do?
Any key to press so the monitor does not cut off?
It does not seem to cutoff, just the screen goes blank.
Would this be the screen saver set at 5 seconds?
I can't get to the desktop to make any settings changes.

Try to load windows in safe mode with networking, then install the latest driver of the monitor.

the monitor was in use the day I bought it.
The owner unplugged it and now I try to use it and this problem.

Start the PC in standard safe or VGA mode. Right click somewhere on the desktop, select properties and change the resolution to 800x600 and restart. Once it's back up, take the resolution up one step at a time (ie. - 1024x768, etc.) When you hit a resolution the monitor no longer supports, it will blank out on you again, but since you can't see the "yes, this is fine" dialogue to affirm keeping that resolution, the system will automatically revert to the previous resolution and your video will return.
Drivers for the monitor will help, but first we've got to get you to the starting point.
Also, make sure you do not set the refresh rate to anything other than 60 - it'll be under advanced options.

the pc in question has no card for cable modem.
and my computer which is cable modem has no floppy drive.
I do not know how to copy the driver to a disc.
Even if I had the driver on the disc how can I get to the desktop to click my computer to open and run the disc? It is cutting off before I get to the desktop.

would you know if the purple or green connector is for the mouse?
Typically, the green. Purple is typically for the keyboard.
