Resolution woes
« on: December 11, 2009, 12:49:18 PM »
Hey there,

I come to you seeking help with a problem which is very hard to define when searching the web; My computer seemingly randomly decided that my resolution of 1400x900 (or something near that) wasn't good enough and completely removed it from the list of choices. Instead, I've been given a list of resolutions that do not fit my screen properly, resulting in squashed, difficult to read text.

This is the second time it's happened and i cant remember what i did to fix it last time (though I'm pretty sure it just corrected itself over a few days).

The Resolutions it is giving me is:
800x600 - 1024x768 - 1152x864
1280x720 - 1280x768 - 1280x800
1280x960 - 1280x1024 - 1360x768
1600x900 - 1600x1024 - 1600x1200

Those are the ones I can use, it also gives me several other resolutions which are deemed "out of Range" by my monitor.

Any thoughts ?

Allan

I reply to you with several questions:

1) Did you install the driver for your display?
2) Did you install the chipset driver?
3) Did you install the latest driver for your video card?
4) Any problems in device manager?
