>"Frequency out of range": Have u changed Reactos resolution?

ide hd.  I am using default reactos resolution.  actually, you get this before
reactos is fully up, as I stated.  look at the sequence again.  this is an
older 1GHz AMD duron system, IDE-only.

older ATI All-in-wonder rage-based AGP video card.

I don't think it's the video.  I don't think it's the hard disk type.  I am
wondering if I maybe had changed the timezone to something other than the
default during setup (watch it - it's buggy)!  But I can't remember now if I
did a TZ change or not. (slap my wrist with a ruler for not providing steps). 
I have had problems with this before in previous versions, but with a different
reaction.
Will test with 0.3.7 and see if it is still doing it without a TZ change.
