Title: Digital Monitor
Post by: sndg311 on November 03, 2007, 04:04:53 PM

I recently purchased a new harddrive, reinstalled windows,installed all program and hardware updates and this time i am unable to switch my monitor over to digital. There is a option in the monitor menu and it lets me move it to digital but does not stay. Viewsonic has been no help. Hopefully someone here can. Thanks

I need more info.

What monitor? What graphics card? Are you using DVI? What exactly happens when you connect the monitor - does it connect via the analog connection?

the monitor is a viewsonic vx2025wm. Video card is a geforce 8800gts yes i am using DVI. My monitor worked great before I reinstalled windows on the new harddrive. Now it only allows a analog signal. The monitor settings on the monitor allow a switch to digital but it does not take.

If it worked well with you older copy of Windows XP, then it's a software problem.
Go to nVidia's site and download the newest drivers.
