| 524720 | 2007-02-14 23:39:00 | My mother recently bought a new HP Pavilion, its the m7690n I think? And we can't get the resolution to increase past 1024x768, it has an nvidia graphics card, not on board, any suggestions? | Spike19983 (9445) | ||
| 524721 | 2007-02-14 23:47:00 | I seem to remember reading somewhere that the display driver settings only let you pick resolutions that work with your installed monitor. Maybe something to look at? I know in the Advanced settings of the Display Properties there's an option to hide resolutions the display can't handle. |

| 524723 | 2007-02-15 00:18:00 | Do you have the correct monitor driver installed, or does it say 'generic monitor'? I had that trouble, and had to download a new driver from the monitor manafacturer's website. |

| 524724 | 2007-02-15 00:33:00 | I doubt that its the monitor drivers. Not all monitors have drivers, Windows will install the default drivers for them. And you can still get a higher resolution above 1024x768. It's most probably the videocard drivers, or the video card thats installed (whether it's onboard, PCI/PCI-E/AGP) can't go above 1024x768. What does it show in properties / settings (right mouse on the desktop). Does changing the slider (if there's a resolution above 1024x768) do anything? |
