<P>Hello all, having a massive problem with my windows resolution/monitor atm.</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>Basically i have a 24 inch Yuraku monitor running through DVI to my PC at 1920x1200.&nbsp; Everything was fine and dandy until this morning.</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>I came to turn the machine on and nothing fired up on the screen as normal.&nbsp; Weird so i turned it off and turned it back on, same again.&nbsp; Tried flicking between the DVI and VGA input on the monitor to see if it fired up but nothing again!</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>So I tried changing to a VGA cable to see if i could get any action and sure enough the screen fires up however it is displaying the desktop in a very strange way.&nbsp; The resolution is still set to 1920x1200 but i now somehow have a 'scrolling' desktop, i.e. there is more on the screen than what is showing on the monitor and i can scroll to other parts of the screen which obviously shouldnt be happening.&nbsp; I should have it all displaying on the screen.</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>The only way I can get the monitor to fit everything on the screen without having to scroll across to see the rest is setting it to 1440x900.</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>Ive also noticed that when on the monitors OSD menus it is showing the res as 1440x900 no matter what resolution it is displaying, which it shouldn't be doing!!!!&nbsp; I've updated the gfx to the latest Catalyst drivers but this didnt help, and I cant find any Yuraku drivers online at all!</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>Is there some limitation on what resolution can be displayed through a VGA cable?&nbsp; I don't have another graphics card to test with as I thought maybe the card had gone kaput but the card still works as it is displaying through VGA.&nbsp; And I don't have another DVI cable in case that has gone faulty!</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>Does anyone have any ideas as its quite grim having to work at 1440x900 on a 1920x1200 monitor.&nbsp; Its been doing my head in why its done that, and I can't for the life of me think why.&nbsp; I've even done a system restore thinking it might help but it hasnt!</P>

Looks like a copy paste from another forum perhaps.


does the monitor have an hdmi connection you can try? is it still in warranty?
