Hi Everyone:
I have 2 problems & maybe they are connected..
I hope I have put in correct forum.
I have a problem with my Monitor Samsung Sync Master 2232 BW, I have been
running this Monitor perfect using Windows XP.
BUT
When I recently upgraded to Windows Vista Home Premium, what happens
periodically when starting my PC, my monitor can not handle my display
settings of 1680 X 1050, what I have to do is alter moniter display settings
to 1280 X 1024, turn off PC, then restart PC then reconfigure back to 1680 X
1070 to get my display settings working again.
Although the drivers are 100% up to date, can you advise what may be causing
this problem. As this getts annoying having to reset & restart to get
settings correct. I have a Dell Dimension 9150 with 2gb memory & ATI Radeon
X300 X550 X1050 Series video card Pentium CPU 2.80 ghz - CPU 2.79 ghz, 160 gb
hard drive.
Also periodically when booting up the monitor will not show anything on
screen, dont know if it has not booted correct or monitor display not working.
Any help appreciated.
Cheers: macman2007uk

Hi DL:
The drivers I have are all updated from when I installed Vista, but
I believe I am still running Samsung original driver.
How can I at this point update the drivers through Vista or winupdate?
Thanks for the quick response.

You don't want to update your video card drivers from your Vista install DVD
or from Winupdate. You want to get the latest Vista drivers for your card
from ATI.com or from Dell.
The MS install DVD or winupdate graphics and tuner card drivers are very
often out of date or incompatible with other applications on a user's
systems
