Please be more descriptive. Where does it say "Out of range"? When you were typing something into a box?

After looking around, it seems as though this problem can be caused by a bad display driver. Sorry, if this is the problem, I don't know how to fix it.

Yes- "out of range" means that the horizontal and/or vertical video scan rates being used fall outside the ranges supported by the monitor. Please give us some details on the hardware.
