Windows XP: Right click on the Desktop>Properties, go to Advanced, change resolution slider. When the window comes up that says "Do you want to keep these settings?" Say "Yes". If the screen goes black for 30 seconds then comes back normally, choose a different resolution setting or update your video card driver.
Windows 7: Right click on the Desktop>Monitor Resolution, then follow the instructions for Windows XP.
Hi
You don't say which operating system you are using.
The monitor resolves images across a fixed range of resolutions and resfresh rates.
It is the resolution of the graphics card or graphics adapter that can be changed, not that of the monitor.
Right click on empty space on your desktop > properties > settings.
Left click and hold on the slider and slide to the right in stages.
Each resolution change offers you a test page to accept or reject.
When satisfied Apply > Yes > Ok.
To reset the Refresh Rate:
Properties > settings > Advanced > Refresh Rate.
Then restart your computer.
Be careful not to exceed the resolution/refresh rate range of your monitor (1280 x 1024) / 75.0 Hz because if you do, when you restart the computer, the monitor will be unable to resolve the image and you will get a blank screen and/or an Out Of Range error message.
An out of range problem might only be resolved by using a different monitor to reset the resolution back to within the range of the preferred monitor.
Hope this helps
