Question Problem with old PC

[ferguson1951]

Hello.
Please bear with me for a while.
I have this old computer with XP (it was given to me for repair).
Ignore the fact that the owner should chuck this PC to the dustbin and buy a new one.
The problem was that the old monitor went bust.
I replaced the old monitor with one of mine but the PC is older than the monitor.
Now my monitor works, but I get a message on XP saying that I have to set the PC's monitor input at 1280x1024 60 Hz.
Can you help me do this?
I intend to give my monitor to my friend as a gift but without the error window.
I shall be very grateful if you could help me.
The PC owner is a very good friend of mine.
Cheers

Make and model of your monitor and how you've connected the monitor to the system?
We're also going to need the specs to the system you're trying to work with, like so:
CPU:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:

If it's a prebuilt, an SKU and make and model of the unit will help us two fold.

Right click on the desktop>properties>settings> click More or Less @ screen resolution.

edit: If this doesn't resolve the problem you will likely have to download a driver for your monitor. https://www.usa.philips.com/c-w/search.html#q=170s6 (You may have to serch for another monitor if your full monitor number is different)
