Had the same problem connecting the DATA (RGB cable) of monitor while
windows was coming up exactly after the vista logo (or globe or whatever it
is) and before the logon screen (how could i know that it was at that stage
while connecting RGB cable? good questions that i will answer it in the end;
anyway)

Nothing could help ; it was long ago and i dont remmber the exact solution
that helped but its was surely one these
1- going to safe mode change the resolution of screen to the lowest
possible; restart in the normal mode got my screen back then I could set the
resolution to what i wanted ( probably this was how i got rid of black
screen)

2- (very unlikely that i had done this but) uninstalling and reinstalling
video card driver.

yu can imagine how hard it is to login and change resoltion or reinstalling
driver (in blind black screen)

how could i know that it was at that stage while connecting RGB cable?

by sound card playing that sound while showing the GLOBE and my HDD activity
that i am familiar with :)
