Solve : lcd monitor?

Answer»

i am trying to set um a new samsung lcd monitor to my computer but i KEEP geetting a message about optimum setting. I am un able to change the mz on my computer. It says the video card is generic. should i try to load the software driver BEFORE i connect the monitor?What is the exact message you get? And what is the actual problem? Does the monitor work or not?
Also, most monitors do not need a driver to workthe monitor work for about i minute then goes blank. there is a message that says not optimum performance then gives resolution numbers (i already fixed that part) and 60mz. i think that that is the part that i need to fix. the monitor works fine on my other computer which is not even as good as the one i want to put it on.That Vid card might not be CURRENT enough to SUPPORT that monitor...

How old is it ? ?the computer is 4 years old. it is a sony and it was a really good one when i bought it.Do you mean 60Hz, rather than 60mz?
To change refresh rate go into control panel, display, settings, advanced, then the monitor tab and change the screen refresh rate to 60Hzi cant change it it says use hardware default setting
Do you know what video card you have?no it just says generic video cardSounds like you don't have the drivers installed for your video card....do you know what video card you should have?
If so, download the drivers for it
If not, download Everest Home Edition from here - http://cgi.zdnet.de/c/?s=32&t=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.zdnet.de%2Fdownloads%2Fprg%2F1%2Fx%2Fde011X_is-wc.html - and post a report from it HEREI know im dumb but i made a report but i cant figure out how to post it here. it says invalid file format. anyway the report says the video adapter and the 3d accelerator are both SiS315 Integrated does this help?Quote

You're not dumb (well, no dumber than me), I had the same problem at first
Try zipping the report before posting it, only certain file types are accepted, including zip files, and zipping a file is easy to do

This does help, but post the report anyway
Drivers should be available from the SiS site, but I know I've had problems in the past trying to get drivers from them
I'll post the link in a bit if I can find itGraphics cards. Perhaps I can be of some better use. I remmember a little abt the SiS 315.

This is ur card - http://www.gpureview.com/show_cards.php?card1=433&card2=

It has 32MB VRAM but uses up to 128MB of ur system RAM, even though it is on a discrete AGP x4 slot.


Drivers - http://display-and-video.free-driver-download.com/15386/SiS-SiS315E-SiS315-Graphics-Driver-v3.51a-Windows-98-ME-2000-XP.htmlI would suggest the drivers from the Sony site only.

By the way, you can copy and paste the Everest report in a respone here.Everest
