Open Device Manager, and from the View menu check Show Hidden Devices. You might need the detailed specs for that from your monitor documentation (there are actually lots of different 1680x1050 resolutions, video signal timing-wise).
There might be an app in your NVIDIA driver software, or downloadable from NV, that lets you set a custom resolution for your monitor. This could be a fault in the monitor (test by plugging in monitor to another computer) or the DVI cable or the graphics card (test by plugging in different monitor to same port). The communication link between your monitor and display card has failed. So, could anyone suggest some different ideas before I have to break out the tweezers to clip off a couple of pins on the DVI cable, or before I decide maybe it’s better to buy a new monitor? So without an EDID to flash with, I am pretty much out of ideas. You’d think that DGM would be somewhere in the list.īut no, not a single mention of my monitor. NVD000 ACR refers to a different monitor I used with the PC, NVD presumably refers to the nVidia display drivers, and CVT weirdly lists as some random monitor.Again, I WAS going to reflash the EDID (being aware of the risks), but upon looking at the registry via Phoenix EDID Designer, it came up with the following 3 hardware IDs In addition, I've read up on causes of Windows reporting Generic non PnP, and found out that it MAY be a courrupted EDID.
I was going to update the monitor drivers, but the official Digimate manufacturer's website doesn't even HAVE the drivers for it. Next, I got out of my way to replace the DVI-I cable with another one, freshly bought from Amazon. So no need to delve into the BIOS for that then.
Before you ask, my motherboard doesn't have an IGP, nor an option to enable the GPU in my Intel i3-2100. Inevitably, System Restore didn't solve ANYTHING. I remembered the day before I installed some Microsoft Keyboard/Mouse macro software, as well as an update to the Intel Management Interface Engine, both via Windows Update. Latest nVidia drivers - NOPE.Īnother suggestion was to System restore before the monitor conked out. Digimate Monitor Driversĭriver Sweeper- nope. I've TRAWLED the web in search of a solution. I know this because I can still play Steam games fine without a hitch, only everything looks magnified because of the resolution downscale. One day out of nowhere, my Dell Studio 1747 laptop started detecting two display devices: One Generic PnP Device and another Generic Non-PnP Device. Please note that most of these Brand Names are registered Trade Marks, Company Names or otherwise controlled and their inclusion in this index is. There are few paid for download sites, but how can I guarantee that they have the driverrs. Device Manager lists the Monitor as a 'Generic Non PnP display', but the Display Adapter lists a GTX 460, which means my GPU is ok.
Can't do it on Windows Control Panal nor on nVidia Control Panel. Upon login I am unable to increase resolution beyond 1024x768.
Now while I boot instead of the fancy Windows 7 loading screen (the one with part of the Microsoft logo flying into the centre) I get a green loading bar akin to Windows Vista's. Monitor is connected to GPU via DVI-I cable.
I'm currently using it on a Windows 7 圆4 Pro build with 8GB RAM and a 1GB GTX 460. The monitor in question is a 22' Digimate L-2280WD. Very recently my desktop decided to suddenly downgrade my lovely 1680x1050 resolution to a paltry 1024x768.
