Generic Non-PnP Monitor

[polo53]

Hey folks,

Left my PC on for a bit whilst I went to do a quick job. Came back and the screen resolution had changed to what it thought was 1074x728 but clearly wasn't.

Opened the screen resolution tab to find it thought it was a "non-generic PnP monitor". Changed this back to a Generic PnP monitor and a 1024x728 monitor but nothing seems to work and allow me to change it back to the original resolution. Pretty frustrating. Any suggestions?

Cheers,

Paul

Re install your video card driver.

Will try re-install video card driver in a minute. Have indeed, left it overnight with cables out, came back this morning and tried again to no avail!

Tried a re-install of Drivers to no avail. As soon as they had re-installed it picked it up as a "Generic Non-PnP monitor" once again.

Using a Radeon HD 7770 by the way. Could it be the VGA cable?

I had this same problem of Display showing Generic Non-PnP Monitor in Windows 7. I was using an extension cable for the vga monitor. I disconnected the cable and plugged the monitor cable straight into the back of the PC and it fixed it, Display now shows my correct monitor type and the resolution is correct.

You could try uninstalling the Generic PnP driver from device manager but i`m sure that you have a cable problem.
