Second monitor settings have changed

[homeworkernoIT]

I use a second monitor everyday with my work laptop and have enjoyed the higher quality resolution on my second monitor with no trouble. For some reason, the settings have changed this morning and I can't get them reset. My second monitor stil works but the resolution is much poorer quality that it was yesterday. What could possibly have changed over night? I checked the second monitors driver and it's up to date. Any other ideas??

thanks

Go into your control panel and click on "Hardware and Sound" and then click on display. Then change the quality on the second monitor from there. That should fix your problem

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. I had tried that but the computer wasn't recognising the correct specifications of the second monitor. In the end, I realised that it wasn't recognising the second monitor at all (it was showing as generic php monitor) and so I swapped the cables (vga/vga to hdmi/dvi) and it fixed it instantly.
Thanks again for your time.
