Custom Resolution Resets

Diver--13 · 15-Feb-2009, 12:53 PM #1

I have recently got a new monitor and I have a custom resolution setup for it. The problem is that every time I restart or turn on my computer it resets the resolution to 1440 x 900. It resets it even efore the logon screen shows up. I have all the updated drivers and anti-virus software. I'm running Vista SP1. The custom resolution is 1680 x 1050 with a 60 Hz refresh rate, which is one of the resolutions that is listed in the manual for the monitor. I set the resolution through NVidia's control panel. The monitor is a HANNSpree 28 inch.

the resolution depends on both the graphics card as well as monitor.
u should not set your monitor resolution to such an extent that your graphics card does not support. open the graphic software and see there the resolutions that are supported by it.

i may be wrong. this will be best explained by senior members

My graphic card offers a higher resolution it just looks akward on my monitor. And my monitor can handle resolutions as high as 1920 x 1200 I just prefer 1680 x 1050. And it isn't a problem with my tv because I have another computer that I tested with three different resolutions and they all worked (lowest - medium -highest res)
