Inadequate resolution!

too much money and trouble to add a floppy I suppose.

What the f**k... When's the last time you ought anything eh?
I didn't even put a floppy drive in my last build..

I was talking about the manufacturer not putting a floppy in the box with your monitor so you have their drivers without connecting to the internet. You my friend are a MORON, I hope you never need my help cause I will ignore you from this point on.

I have disabled my floppy drive via the Device Manager, but didn't remove it from my case, because you never know when you're going to need it. As far as I know, the only place where the XP setup program will take SCSI/RAID drivers from is drive A:, for example.

Nope, Will boot from a USB key if you know what you're doing..

hey now, less of the personal insults, that's a bit harsh. Why would anyone use floppy drives now? surely to god it'd be cheaper for them to stick a USB key in there with your monitor than a floppy at this stage. CD/DVD are just as good. And also, pretty much every piece of hardware nowadays is plug and play, no drivers necessary for you to install, so your average user won't even need to install any extra drivers. and so what if they don't, is it that much hassle to connect to the internet? seeing as for pretty much all software to get full use of it you need to connect to the net, I don't see why it should be any different for hardware.

OP, did you get your problem resolved?

I'm not a moron, believe it or not, I do know what I'm talking about.

OP, did you get your problem resolved?

no, it's too difficult.
I don't know where to start.

What did you try of the suggestions in the thread so far? Try them, post by post, and see what happens.

Now I need another excuse to keep my floppy drive.

Haha, it's really not that hard, I saw it somewhere, think it was techrepublic, a quick google will telly a what you need to know, but a floppy is easier!

Sounds like a similar problem I had when I had an analog RGB connection with my Viewsonic CRT 19" monitor. The graphics card kept disregarding my settings and reverting to another resolution no matter what. The fix was to set adapter type to Standard VGA, set the resolution to the video adapter's default factory resolution and default refresh rate 50Hz, and reboot to Windows again. Might have to uninstall your graphics drivers and do this and reinstall them. I believe it was some kind of Video BIOS issue and that was the only way to alleviate.

HMM! Bios, does your machine have onboard video as well but your using a graphics card? Because there is a setting in the bios for which video first, it would be a choice something like onboard > pci > pci-e > even agp if its old enough. I had a system set to onboard, but had a pci-e graphics card installed and i didn't get good resolutions til I changed it to pci-e first. I also had an older agp machine that would not boot when set to agp first even though I had an agp card installed but if I set it to pci it was fine. Go figure, ASUS HA!

Finally, I think I got rid of that problem...so annoying, it seems that the video card showed fatigue signs and eventually "gave up".
Few weeks ago, I bought a new video card

Sapphire ATI Radeon HD4670, 1024MB, DDR3, 128bit, CrossfireX, HDMI, PCI-E



It's a beaty, isn't it?

I did the same mistake some time ago... you can't even imagine how many loop holes I went through to make windows setup see my raid partition. Do you know what was common about all the loopholes I went through? none of them worked...


senegal, she looks awesome
