Knoppix Not Working HELP!!!

[waynejkruse10]

I have knoppix V3.2, with a Athlon 3d processor (550 mhz) with 180 mg ram running at 800 by 600 resolution, but when i try to boot knopix from the cd im not sure how to do it correctly.
it comes up with a screen where i can type in commands and i press enter and it types up all this stuff in different colors and loads knoppix.
eventually my screen goes all funny, and a box come up on the screen, the type you would see if you changed the monitor settings by manually pressing buttons on the front of the monitor. It says for me to check my pc settings. i dont know if this matters but i am running at a refesh rate of 85hz.
I hope u can help me

knoppix rules


try

You have a very old monitor that can't display the high refresh rates.
