263056 2004-08-18 21:59:00 I recently brought an LCD screen (CMV CT-722A) after reading a good write-up in the PC World. My current OS is XP Pro. Many of the sub boxes that come up on the screen such as Properties etc, show the contents at the correct size but limit the surrounding frame to a small size making access to all the frame content impossible (this makes setting up printing parameters impossible).

A bit of history - Being used to ordinary screens I approached the makers for a screen driver. I was informed that LCD screens don't have them but they use a preset resolution with the option to size the fonts by percentage. My preset resolution is 1280 x 1024, anything else makes the lettering fuzzy.

I have also noticed that XP tells me I have a CRV screen attached, it doesn't appear to recognise the LCD screen in its own diagnostics.

I thought originally it was the software of the various programmes limiting the pixel sizes within the software until I found the same was happening with property boxes within XP itself.

Any advice out there in cyber space??

263060 2004-08-18 23:35:00 The FAQ didn't explain how to go about it but I did some digging and came up with a Gif file. Now, how do I put a link into this message to allow you to see it?

263064 2004-08-18 23:45:00 Actually,your right,that faq is lacking in instructions. metla (154)
263065 2004-08-19 00:02:00 hmmm......As you say,that just ain't right,but im drawing a bit of a blank.

Can you remove the monitor via the device manager and reboot?,this will clear the driver,windows will re-detect it and have another stab.

I take it if you plug your old monitor in the problem doesn't apear?
