Re: Vista x64. ATI HD3850. Catalyst 8.3. Hannspree Monitor. Bad Combination?

Yeah I have the exact same problem on quite a few PC systems here using DVI on Vista...

The information I have found about this issue over the last year leads me to believe LCD/Flatscreen Monitors without there own drivers and using the default ones can cause problems when Vista detects a higher resolution than the ATI or NVidia driver/Flatscreen LCD supports.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Weird thing is this monitor won't work even during POST with this ATI card. In the manual it does say when a digital output source is used the digital input on the monitor must be used. However as it worked with the Quadro card using VGA this doesn't seem correct.

Hannspree have vista 64 drivers available for this monitor which I have attempted to load but vista won't allow it (I have disabled driver signing @ F8 and administrator run cmd > bcdedit -set loadoptions DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS)
Wonder why Hannspree felt the need to release specific drivers if its plug and play?
Even if they did work still doesn't explain the problem of no input during POST.
Do you agree that the monitor should always work during POST using the VGA connection? If so, as mine doesn't, what should I focus my attention on?

Thanks Scott
