Resolution problem

Hi,

I got a problem with my resolution, I cant choose higher than 1024x768.
I have uninstalled/reinstalled, cleaned all drivers both for my screen and video card, nothing works. When I have uninstalled my grapich card i can choose higher res, but when I reinstall it, it will set back to 1024x768.
I have looked all over but cant find anyone with the same problem, please help me!

Thank you in advance!

Welcome to the forum!

Where did you get those drivers? There are new ones available at the nvidia website, here's a link: GeForce Release 178

Re: Resolution problem

Do you have driver for your screen as well (the latest one...)? That might help.

Re: Resolution problem

I have not used Windows update, I have downloaded the drivers from Nvidia and the other manufacturers.

Re: Resolution problem

Did you always have this problem, or did it occur after (un)installing new software, drivers, hardware,...?

Re: Resolution problem

Its a brand new computer, that I built myself (so I never had this problem). It just didnt "work" when I started it. Everything else is running fine...

Re: Resolution problem

If, on your desktop, you do right-click > personalization > Display setting. What does it say? Do you have a default monitor and the brand monitor?
