 Posted: Tue Jan 29, 2008 8:13 pm Post subject: Monitor resolution disappeared! |
 |
|
hey guys, i need some help! last nite when i booted up my computer, (without any prior changes made) my hanns g widescreen monitors native resolution of 1440x900 was gone. i noticed the screen was off a bit so i went into catalyst control center to correct the problem. although now my native resolution wasnt on the list, closest i got was 1152 x 864, also it appears that my computer is not properly detecting my monitor, as it lists it as generic. i have tried dling drivers from hanns g, a fresh install of catalyst control center, system restore and finally a fresh windows install to no avail... help im out of options and this is driving me crazy... i should add that i have been running on 1440 x 900 for months with no issue until now, and the rest of my specs are as followed...
abit quad gt mobo
sapphire x1650xt vid card
seasonic 650w psu
seagate 250gb sata hd
hanns g 19" wide screen monitor
2gb ocz revision 2 ram
and vista home premium 32bit...
thanks in advance guys! |

Control panel/Display Properties/Settings.
See what you can do there. If it's a new monitor you may have to call the company or just shoot them an email.
