Title: video mode problem on new 19" philips 190b monitor
Post by: justintime on July 16, 2008, 07:14:02 AM

After installing this monitor and updating the drivers, a message comes up from time to time stating "video mode not supported" and it asks to change to 1280x1024 @60hz over a black background (power is on but there is no display other than the error message) ... Any ideas how to fix this other than changing the resolution because that resolution is too hard to read ??

Boot into safe mode and choose safe mode with vga support, that way when it boots into windows using safemode vga support, you will be able to see the resolution and set it to 1280x1024.

@Crafty: I think that the OP is saying that 1280x1024 results in text too small.

@justintime: If I'm correct, I think that 1024x768 @ 60 hz is supported by your monitor (check your manual) so try that for a screen resolution.

Good luck!
