Samsung SyncMaster 943NWX monitor problems

[mquiroz]

Hi to all!

I really hope that you can help me. I installed Windows 7 RC and after install my monitor resolution is set to 800x600. If I try to raise it, I get just one more option and when selecting it, I get a black vertical bar on the right of the monitor with still very bad resolution.

My Display Adapter is listed as Intel (R) 82865 G Graphics Controller (Microsoft Corporation XDDM)

and my Monitor is: SyncMaster 943 NW/943 NWX/ NW 1943/NWX 1943.

I hope you can help me find a solution to this problem.

Regards,

mquiroz

Thanks

Thanks visy199:

I already have the latest driver for both my video adapter and monitor, however I get that problem after installing windows 7.

It seems that my video adapter and monitor are getting old now .

Thanks

What version of Windows 7 you use 32bit or 64 bit?

 

[mquiroz]

32 bit

Does this make a difference?

32 bit

Does this make a difference?

If it's 64 bit it's a difference,anyway did you tried changing the compatibility?

Hi visy199:

No, after three frustrating days and nights trying to solve this problem I opted for restoring my vista installation and waiting until I get a new pci video adapter card.

Thanks anyway!

On Vista it's working?

 

[mquiroz]

Yes, it works fine, not a single problem. That's why I was stumped. I did an upgrade installation over my vista installation and my problems started. Luckily I had a backup of my previous installation and was able to restore it 100%. After doing it, my resolution returned to normal.

Strange,what version of Windows 7 did you used?

 

[mquiroz]

7600.16385

Is there something wrong with this version?

No,it's the lastest!

 

[mquiroz]

That's what I find strange, this is the first time that something like this has happened to me.

I know that I won't be able to get all the fancy effects of aero (I don't have them right now) but I wanted to test windows 7. Supposedly if Vista Ultimate runs in my machine, Windows 7 ultimate should be able to run.

Maybe I will have to wait a little longer for another version or until I get a better video card.

Any ideas to solve this, short of buying a new video card and trying compatibility mode?

Changing compatibility to Vista doesn't work?

 

[mquiroz]

Changing compatibility

How do I change to vista compatibility?

I installed again and I get the same problem again.

Thanks

Right click on executable/Properties/Compatibility tab/Check Run this program in compatibility mode and select Vista then click OK!
