    Monitor unable to display at max resolution in some circumstances

    ~cdogg: You are correct, and I'm sorry I haven't updated this post with that info. The original ad I purchased the monitor from listed it as 1900x1080/75hz, and I never actually checked the documentation. 60Hz is its maximum capability. I still have the same sorts of issues, as the refresh...

    Monitor unable to display at max resolution in some circumstances

    Thanks kjv1611. Are there such things as good, reliable, 3rd-part utilities and control panels that might allow me to customize the resolution and refresh rate? I'm not sure if I understood what you suggested.I'm not ready to reinstall Vista. This is my business computer (I'm a business...

    Monitor unable to display at max resolution in some circumstances

    micker377 - Thanks for chiming in on this. Since my last post I've been on an adventure. It started with me going to Dell's support site and, in connection with my particular model of computer, they offered a newer version of the Intel graphics software. so I downloaded and installed it. That...

    Monitor unable to display at max resolution in some circumstances

    The driver installed actually is the current driver from Acer. To verify this, I went to the Monitor paart of the Control Panel nd verified that it is called Acer H243H, then did Properties and so on and "Update driver." It says I have the latest. To add to this strangeness, even though "60...

    Monitor unable to display at max resolution in some circumstances

    kjv1611 - For the record, I believe you neant to be saying "refresh rate" rather than "resolution." I remembered once seeing what you described, so I hopped on over to the Monitor control panel. There is a checkbox that says "Hide modes that this monitor cannot display." However, that...

    Monitor unable to display at max resolution in some circumstances

    rclarke250: BINGO!!! I have a 90% resolution, and it came by simply turning of TMM! After rebooting I've tried it every which way. Boot just with the external monitor, boot with the laptop display while the external monitor is unplugged, boot with both, boot with the external display and then...

    Monitor unable to display at max resolution in some circumstances

    Thanks kjv1611! It's more about the time involved, less about the technical ability. I've been a PC user since DOS 3, but learned (self-taught) both Mac and Solaris well enough to support applications on them in a previous job. I'm sure I can do it, its just about time. Or maybe laziness :-)...

    Monitor unable to display at max resolution in some circumstances

    rclarke250: Wow, that really does sound like the issue I'm facing! Thank you for digging that up. I've disabled TMM (using the Task Scheduler method). I'll need to reboot to see if it fixed the problem. Can't reboot just yet, but later this afternoon I will and will definitely update this...

    Monitor unable to display at max resolution in some circumstances

    kjv1611 - Thanks for your continued help. I have to admit that I'm nearing the edge of my expertise here. But I can follow instructions. As for trying it in Ubuntu, that's probably more hassle than I want to go through. I'm not used to Linux (used Solaris Unix a little years ago, but that’s...

    Monitor unable to display at max resolution in some circumstances

    kjv1611 and rclarke250 - Thank you both for your suggestions. I thought I had replied to kjv1611 yesterday, but I must have not completed the submission. [kjv1611 - I know the meaning of your screen name. We are kindred spirits!] I have done the things you suggested in the my troubleshooting...

    Monitor unable to display at max resolution in some circumstances

    My monitor (Acer H243H) is SOMETIMES unable to be set to its maximum resolution and refresh rate when connected to my laptop computer (Dell Studio 1737) using HDMI - unless I open the laptop computer first. Specifically, - If I start or restart the computer without opening up the computer, I...

    Dropdown Menu -- submenus don't display properly

    Dan: I hadn't looked at it in Fx3 until you said that, and it does work correctly in thatbrowser. But not in my IE7. (Those are the only two browsers I have available for testing). Please explain more fully what you mean by my "using completely different top/left values for sub-menus." Where...

    Dropdown Menu -- submenus don't display properly

    Dan: Thanks for the assistance dor for the clear answer. I adjusted the positioning to Relative. Here's the code: =========== <div style="position:relative" align="center"> <script language="JavaScript1.2" src="scripts/menu_script.js"></script> </div> ============ That made a difference...

    Dropdown Menu -- submenus don't display properly

    First, go easy on me. I'm not terribly knowledgeable in this area. I incorporated a dropdown JS menu into my site at http://www.stratalignment.com/Beta/index3.html. The problem is that in both IE 7 and FF 3, the submenus don't drop straight down under the parent menus. Instead, they pop up on...
