"Input Not Supported" after adjusting screen resolution

Monitor: Acer AL1916W
OS: Windows XP Home Edition
Processor: Intel Pentium 4, 1.82Ghz
Computer: HP Pavilion 751n
Problem: When I try to increase the screen resolution from 800x600, the screen goes dark and all I get is a message box saying "Input Not Supported".

No monitor listed in the Device Manager window. Downloaded the monitor driver from Acer's Support Website, but it did not have a setup file. So I put it at C:\acer\AL1916W and right clicked on the ICM file and selected "Install Profile". Restarted the computer with no effect.

Not sure if I need to install VGA driver or chipset from Intel. If so, I don't know which one.

What resolution are you trying to run? The native resolution for your monitor is 1440 x 900, setting to that should fix your issue

I recently purchased and installed the P191W monitor, and now my pictures are stretched. I was told I new to get a new graphics card. What card should I get? Or can I just update the driver? I am running...

Find your monitor's native resolution, in your case it's 1440x900. Go to display settings (usually right-click on desktop and choose properties), go to settings tab and move the resolution slider until it shows 1440x900. Confirm, the screen should flicker for a moment and adjust - and you should be fine.
If there is no 1440x900 resolution available, then installing a monitor .inf file that came on a disk accompanying the monitor might help.

My AL1916W monitor will accept the Windows XP Pro output for a while but then presents a message which travels round the screen "Input not supported" and I can do nothing. It works OK with another CPU -...

It is display screen resolution issue.
When you power up the computer press F8 key then enter in enable vga mode then go to control panel ->display->settings
then change screen resolution to 1024*768 then restart then check.

Input not supported

You may have a video resolution selected on your computer that the screen doesn't support.

The reason you see the the initial startup message is because that is loaded from the bios, prior to the settings for the graphic card output being loaded.

Try booting the computer in safe mode and adjusting the display resolution.
