Solve : Can't Change Display Resolution? |
|
Answer» Quote Just for info: If the monitor .INF file is corrupted or damaged, Windows may think that the monitor can't handle any other resolutions/modes. We know you've tried a different graphics card; have you also tried a different monitor?I have tried a different monitor, and GOT the same error message. I'm afraid you may be right about Windows, but I'm a little hesitant aboput doing it. What's the best way so that I can still RETAIN the desktop, and the registry values? TomDisplay: Video Adapter DIAMOND Stealth 3D 2000 Pro (S3 ViRGE-DX 375) (4 MB) Video Adapter Standard PCI Graphics Adapter (VGA) 3D Accelerator Intel i752 3D Accelerator S3 ViRGE/GX Monitor ViewSonic A70 (CZ94100550) Whats Going on Here? i See 3 GFX cards , An Intel I752, a Diamond S3 DX, and An S3 GX How many Cards Have you got installed. Uninstall them All, Remove 2 from the Computer, and Install The Drivers for the one thats Left, Unless I'm Reading it wrong Quote What's the best way so that I can still retain the desktop, and the registry values?Well I'm afraid Tom that you can't have it both ways. It seems likely that there is a problem lurking in your registry, so it has to go. Look on the bright side: a full reinstall invariably RESULTS in a healthier, faster computer. You don't really notice how much the slowing down creeps up on you over the months and years between reinstalls...Quote Display:Did that; didn't help. I'm working my courage up to a Windows re-install. Tom You're ready to go.Obviously nothing else has helped. What was the answer to the question about multiple video cards?Quote
Holding my breath the entire time (you've no idea how hard that becomes after 35 minutes or so) I re-installed Windows. Not only did I not lose the desktop, but the problem HAS BEEN SOLVED!! Thanks, you've been really helpful. Tpm Quote You're ready to go.Obviously nothing else has helped. Only one card at a time, in addition to the built-in adapter. I just didn't delete the drivers that weren't being used. TomPeople BALK at a reinstallation, but look how much quicker it would have been had we started there! Thanks for posting back.We LOVE success stories here... |
