Although I consider myself quite PC-literate, I'm new to KNOPPIX (or any other LINUX distro) and new to this forum, so first let me say 'hello'.

I just downloaded KNOPPIX v3.7 and successfully burned the iso to CD. The CD boots up and seems to perform most, if not all, hardware detection but then I get the following message on my LCD screen:

INPUT SIGNAL
OUT OF RANGE

and from that point on, the system is no longer responsive. I sure hope you guys can figure out the problem and get me up and running.

Fwiw, here is my hardware configuration...
