Solve : Resolution Keeps Changing On Its Own? |
|
Answer» My Resolution Keeps Changing On Its Own!! I have a laptop (Compaq) that CHANGES resolutions on its own with no prompting to. The screen just goes blank and it goes from 1024X768 (which I like) to 640x480. You can change it back, then it does it again a few minutes later. a) I have Windows XP b) When you go to the display properties, it says: (Multiple Monitors) on ATI RAGE Mobility (COMPAQ) c) When you go to the DEVICE manager, it has: -Digital Flat Panel (1024x768), -Generic Television, -Default MONITOR d) It is not hooked up to a tv or flat display, or even another monitor e) I disabled the other monitors and kept the default monitor enabled, and it doesn't fix the problem. f) I have tried to update the driver on the Default Monitor and Windows could not update (I don't have a disk for it or ANYTHING) g) It used to have Windows 2000 on it and I updated it to WinXP and that didn't fix it. I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING! IT IS HORRIBLY ANNOYING! Disable all but the digital flat panel and see if it stabilises...You might get the latest drivers ,and change the refresh rate.It could also be the vram on the card not working. Try it in another computer. with the same game.Try booting into Safe Mode, removing ALL the monitors and rebooting.

No. Especially not an integrated one like this Compaq is bound to have. Let's wait for the OP to come back. |
