My computer always shows a 1280x768 resolution after the installation. The problem is my monitor is a 15" (1024x768) and it turns up blank after completing the installation. I have to hook my computer to a 17" to change its resolution to fit my screen. Its annoying and heavy. I've checked with my computer guy and he says its something to do with the BIOS but he doesn't know enough to change the settings. Does anybody here knows? This thing has been going since I bought my computer.
You should just get a new one, I don't know how you deal with 15 inch Did you reinstall all of your graphics drivers ect.. when you formatted?
If you are asking me to buy a new one just because its small than screw you. I don't have extra money and so is my parents. Every time I put up this thread somebody ask me to buy a new one. And my computer does not need to install its driver to run it. I told you, all I need is to do is hook it up to a 17" and *poof* Windows appears. It have something to do with the settings in the BIOS or something.
Windows installs default drivers, yes, but you need to install the correct drivers for your card, via Nvidia or ATI.
have you actually used that for anything aside form general use? performance must be horid w/ generic drivers...
You should be able to use both your screens with the normal windows drivers. You cant change resolutions in bios. Maybe you can edit something in your monitors setup. There should be a button on your monitor. Otherwise, just use a 17" to finish your setup, then goto your config and set 1024x768 as resolution. Also try installing ATi drivers.
