Hello i need some help here
Just Upgraded from at 17 inch 2 yr old Philips CRT
Syst specs: p4 2.4C, 6600GT.
First i bought the 2025WM on Thurs. It was originally my 3rd choice but i got it anyway.
1st, i had trouble setting it up cos
1. Forceware drivers 9x.xx dun seem to work! The last version that worked was the 84.xx driver.
After i install the driver, i need to first set the reso at 1680x1050 before reboot otherwise the 2025wm cant boot into windows. No mention of this problem with other users in the VX2025WM thread. If i use the 9x.xx drivers, it will reboot when i apply the reso at 1680x1050 then i cant boot into windows
2. Then the DVI recover thing happened, and i only got it up and running yesterday after doing q a bit of reading of the VX2025WM thread
3. Now the biggest problem is that
Although the 66GT is not supposed to have problems with the fixed aspect ratio, mine gives the OUT OF RANGE problem. And since i cant use the 9x.xx Forceware drivers, i dunno if it will work with newer drivers
I play mostly DOTA on Warcraft 3 (stretched 1280x1024) and occasionally the change betw resolutions cause the LCD to go into "on-off spasm" where it cant display the resolution (it just switches on and off and on and off). It also happens when i alt-tab out of WC3, it happens when i load wc3. It occurs randomly. I estimate only 3/10 attempts wld work.
This is irritating to no end. Its fixed by using a 2nd analog connection and switching off the monitor and alt-tabbing back into Windows.
But its bldy p*ssing me off as it happens dam often
It even happens if i leave my monitor on powersaving mode shutdown (but only once)
Anyone has any solution?
I've seen this posted on widescreengaming forum before also to no avail.
I mite consider selling this monitor if this keeps going on.
