Cannot display in DVI mode/cannot go above 1024x768 resolution
I have a 24 inch widescreen, and I know its native resolution is NOT 1024x768. I'm using an 8800 GTS with the latest drivers (I checked). Nothing is displayed in DVI mode, and I can't put my monitor on its native resolution. Can anyone help? -- normlabe ------------------------------------------------------------------------ normlabe's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/normlabe.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/vista-har...es/1102465.htm http://forums.techarena.in |

An MS generic display driver might not properly detect all the available display modes. DVI isn't a mode so much as an interface type. Analog VGA would have the same range of resolutions available, more or less. |

I have a 8500GT on a Vista HP 32 bit SP1 system and recent current driver
for my graphics adapter from the Nvidia Website. I also have have a 22" LCD 1680x1050. monitor My system also uses the generic MS display driver. I can run my display in its native resolution using either its VGA or DVI interface.

I'm sorry, I should've gone into more detail. Yes, I got the latest monitor driver from the samsung website, as well. Either way, I've ordered a T240, I figure it must be a hardware problem. I've spent long enough on this, I'm no slouch when it comes to computers but this has frustrated me enough. If the replacement monitor/cable don't do it, I'm doing the video card next. I hope it doesn't come to that. I'll still appreciate any help you guys can offer, as I'd like to either dual-screen or sell off my current monitor. Thanks. -- normlabe ------------------------------------------------------------------------ normlabe's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/normlabe.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/vista-har...es/1102465.htm http://forums.techarena.in |
