Stuck on 640 resolution

Sometimes the BIOS doesn't display properly on the widescreen monitors if your video card was built before widescreen monitors were acceptable. I have an old ATI Radeon video card from 2006 and it cuts off the BIOS setup screen when setup. If a 640 X 480 monitor was plugged it, the problem would go away. The graphic drivers aren't going to initialize in your computer until the computer is booted which compensate for the current resolution settings.

Another solution is to see if you have a BIOS upgrade available for your computer that will create a resolution and refresh rate that will work for your monitor.

2 steps:

1. plug the hp vs15 into another computer and see if it works, if not could be a bad monitor.
2. If you have the old monitor, plug it in to the IBM computer and in windows lower the resolution down to 640 X 480. Now turn off the computer and plug in the VS15 monitor. If resolution was an issue it should work now.

Hope this helps

reinstall display drivers

you need to reboot into safe mode (hit F8 during boot up), then set the video to 640 x 480, then reboot into regular mode , then reset it again to the native resolution of this monitor, 1440 x 900 @60 Hz.
The monitor this old may also have capacitors problem, http://s807.photobucket.com/home/budm/allalbums

Post post back so it may also other people also..

The resolution of teh screen is controlled by the computer, not the monitor.

Find your display settings in whatever operating system you are using. You will be able to change the resolution there. Easiest way would be to do a Google search for "change resolution in XXXXX" where XXXXX is your operating system. (i.e., Windows XP, Windows 7, Mandrake, etc.)

> You needs to configure your scree resolutions and other parameters.
> May be frequency rate doesn't supported by your old Monitor.
> Just attach your desktop with different monitor and change parameter to lowest frequency range. (60 HZ or lowest with 640*480 resolution)

you need to check if your computer monitor supports resolution above 640 X 800 pixels or not, if you have a windows operating system you can check this by right clicking on your desktop ->Properties -> Settings -> Screen Resolution, check here by moving the slider bar what is the maximum video resolution supported by your PC

Also check if your computer meets the minimum requirements required to play EA Cricket 07

may be your graphic driver is not installed.install graphic driver from your graphic card or motherboard driver cd.

you first install the audio drivers if the problem persists then attach AGP card then increase resolution and pc will ask question do you want to keep these settings say yes then you can see 1280x1024

It seams your video card is not properly install. If you have more option greater then 640*800 then it means your monitor not support above resolution that you mention.

If problem is not this which I mention then please reply to this thread with explanation.
