Generic Pnp Monitor - Low Refresh Rate

Nov 23, 2009

new to the forum and new to Windows 7 and new to laptops so please be patient.

I bought a lenovo g550 laptop a few weeks ago.

it came with Windows 7, I have downloaded all the relevant Lenovo drivers and updates

and installed all of them!

My problem is that Windows 7 recognizes the screen as generic pnp monitor and doesn't let me change the refresh rate above or beneath 60hz.

My screen is flickering in the background and it is annoying as hell!!

is it because of the refresh rate or is it something else?

I cant find drivers for the screen anywhere !!!

CS 1.6 + W7 64 Bit + CRT Monitor Refresh Rate Issues

Nov 7, 2009

I just installed Windows 7 64bit to try it out and so far its a pretty nifty change from xp, however if I can't solve this problem I'll have to change back to xp.

I have a 19" Samsung Syncmaster 957mb CRT monitor, the native desktop resolution is 1280x1024@85hz , but I run CS 1.6 in 800x600@100hz usually, however when I launch CS now, with the same launch options as I had in XP, the game starts up in window mode.

If i remove -freq 100 (forcing the monitor to 100hz) in launch options, it starts fullscreen in "800x600", however if i check my monitors OSD and look at the display timings, its tells me that the current resolution is my desktop resolution (1280x1024) and the same refresh rate, 85hz.

edit: To be short, the game is supposedly in 800x600, yet my monitor believes itself to be in 1280x1024?

Currently I can't find drivers for my monitor, so it only shows up as a PnP monitor, but this shouldn't be a issue, and my nvidia drivers are up to date.

Increase Monitor's Refresh Rate?

Nov 18, 2012

I have gone into my advanced settings and determined that the only 1 option there for refresh rate is 60 hertz. Does that mean I can go no higher? Or is there some witchcraft behind this?

'wavy' Lines Across Screen (like Refresh Rate, But Not)

Nov 8, 2009

I built up a PC a couple of months ago. It has an ok spec, Phenom II 550 x2, NVidia GTX 250, 4b ram, 500gig HD, 620w PSU. Windows 7 Eval. 7100.

From the first couple of days I noticed an issue that looked like incorrectly setup refresh rates - there are wavy lines accross the entire screen, and is particularly noticeable on highlighted text and the side edges of windows. I made sure the frame rate was correct, both in Windows and according to the GFX Card. I have tried all the settings but have settled at 75hz. This is the best setting but does not get rid of the problem.

I have the most up to date drivers for my GFX Card and Windows 7 is up to date too.

The intensity of the problem can fluctuate. Right now, its fairly minimal and only visable if you are looking. It can however get to the point where its becoming hard to read text, or at least tiring because you have to strain some more. This can happen at any time. The only link I have found is to games, as both World of Warcraft and Borderlands will intensify the isse, both ingame and in Windows. I am fairly sure they are set at the correct resolution and refresh rate where possible.

What could this be?

Further info, three weeks ago I turned the PC on in the morning to find the 'power' button unresponsive. After some waiting and several attempts it eventually turned on but I got a 'no signal' display on screen. Later I resorted to jump starting the PC without the power button, using a screwdriver to connect the prongs - after doing this, the power button has been fine although it took another day for the no signal message to go away and normal viewing return. This problem has not repeated since.

During this the fans were fluctuating a lot, audibly so. This dissapeared mostly along with the above problems, but I still think it sounds like the fans are fluctuating infrequently, particularly on initial bootup. I have no software for changing fan speeds, as far as they know they run at the speed I set physically.

A lot of this seems to point at the GFX Card, although I am a little more inclined to think it is the power supply, or the availability of power for each unit. But I really don't know. Either I can find the solution online or I take it to the shop and pay for a repair, not that its easy to even tell them what they need to repair.

The PC runs fast and with relatively few crashes besides that one weekend and this persistant display problem.

High Refresh Rate LCD/LED Monitors For Gaming

Sep 23, 2011

Ever since I retired my huge CRT monitor, I have been very unsatisfied with the performance of my 75Hz maximum LED monitor. Don't get me wrong, it's great for movies and everyday use, but for gaming it has done nothing but leave me yearning for something with a higher refresh rate.

I see that there are 120Hz 3D 'gaming' LEDs and have been poking around these waters. I have heard from sources that Benq used to make one of the best 120Hz monitors, but has since been discontinued. So have others, as I see them as 'unavailable' on NewEgg or insanely high priced elsewhere. Are these 120hz 3D monitors a bad idea to purchase? Are there any other options? I can't stand 75Hz in-game any longer!

Computer Refuses To Let Me Change Refresh Rate

Nov 30, 2009

I use a Gateway HD monitor, it's currently set to 59 hz, I need to get it up otherwise the monitor will just shut down while I'm playing games. I've tried everything, I tried to change it in the nvidia control panel but it just default back to 59 hz. I've tried the advanced settings in screen resolutions and the result is the same.

How To Increase Screen Refresh Rate (won't Go Past 60Hz)

Jul 25, 2011

I have a 17-inch Toshiba laptop with a resolution of 1600x900 and a refresh rate of 60 Hz. However, on some backgrounds, I can clearly see my screen flickering. With the preservation of my eyes in mind, it would be greatly beneficial to know if I can increase this or not. I go here: Quote: Control PanelAppearance and PersonalizationDisplayScreen Resolution and click "Advanced Settings". Under "Monitor Settings", the pull-down bar only gives me the option of 60Hz (the "Hide modes that this monitor cannot display" is whited out). Is it possible to increase the refresh rate?

Windows 7 Screen Resolution Changed To 1024x768 - Refresh Rate 59Hz

Mar 4, 2011

Few days ago I caught a virus (at least I believe I did)... Used Malwarebytes and found 7 infected files in my Windows Folder. The first few syptoms of my OS was the resolution of the screen changed to 1024x768 (it should be 1920x1080) and is stuck there. The refresh rate changed from 60Hz to 59Hz, when I tried to change it back, the screen just flashes black but the tab still says 59Hz. So I reinstalled Windows 7 with the upgrade option from the OS disk, hoping to fix everything. But it didn't...

My bios was also messed up, everything was reset and edges of my screen was cutten off. The booting animation of Windows 7 is now changed to the Vista's booting animation. I reflashed the bios and that fixed that, now I've done a clean install of Windows 7, formating C: then installing. But all problems still persists... even there is no more virus found by 5 anti-virus programs. I'm still stuck in 1024x768, Windows 7 thinks my hdmi cable is apparently a dvi cable, the refresh rate is still 59Hz, the booting animation is the Vista's one.

Increasing A PS/2 Mouse's Polling/refresh/sample Rate In 64bit Windows 7

Aug 19, 2011

Back in Windows XP, I was able to increase a PS/2 mouse's sampling rate from its default setting to 200 Hz at `Device Manager > Mouse > 'Name of Mouse' > Properties > Advanced Settings > Sample Rate` (like this [link]), but this setting is now gone in Windows 7. Is there another way to increase or change a PS/2 mouse's polling/refresh/sample rate in 64-bit Windows 7?The mouse uses generic installed-by-Windows default drivers back in XP, and the same with Windows 7.Edit: The screenshot is not from my PC. I just got it somewhere in the internet. It is just to illustrate how to edit a PS/2 mouse's sample rate back in Windows XP.

Cannot Change Refresh Rates On CRT Monitor

May 7, 2009

Now Im using an old monitor LG 700s, and for some weird reason I cannot change the resolution to 1152x864 on 75 hz...I just get 60 hz (lot of screen flicker) option and nothing else, updated to the latest win 7 nvidia drivers released today, updated the monitor drivers as well, but Im not getting that refresh rate.

The funny thing is the monitor does support 1152x864 75 hz according to the monitor specs and I have it tunning on that resolution on both Win XP sp3 and Windpws Vista SP1 both 32 bit.

What am I doing wrong, or is it just an issue with the drivers since its a new OS and its gonna take a lot of time for nvidia to fix...if it is an issue on their part?

System specs: C2D 3.0ghz, 2 gb ram, 1000mhz, OS WIn 7 64 bit RC 7100, Graphics-8600GT

Monitor Won't Do Supported Refresh-No Official Drivers

Sep 14, 2009

I have a ViewSonic 19" CRT (Professional Series P95f+)

There are drivers for Vista 64, however 7 won't take them and the monitor I have is not listed when I try to choose it from the list. I tried similar models but still the monitor will only do 85hz at the highest even in low resolutions.

This monitor can do 160hz in 800x600, 120hz in 1024x768 and 100hz in 1280x960, 90hz in 1280x1024 I believe.

I tried using a custom driver that I made in Rivatuner but it only works on Windows XP. I tried the latest version of Rivatuner but the button for Create Driver is not clickable no matter how I set it up, and it doesn't correctly detect the monitor (perhaps because I'm using 2 monitors at once, not sure).

Any suggestions on how I can force windows 7 to use higher refresh rates? This monitor looks like absolute crap when it's not at full refresh....especially next to my nice new TRUE 120hz 22" LCD (ViewSonic VX2265WM).

Generic PnP Monitor Flapping

Apr 7, 2009

The Generic PnP Monitor driver is flapping like there is something wrong with the monitor. It keeps trying to redisover the monitor and blanks out the screen every 30 seconds or so. Very irritating. I am running a Westinghouse LCM-22w3 22" HD monitor through a Belkin KVM Switch. This does not occur on my XP machine or my Linux server only Windows 7.

Generic Non-PnP Monitor On Standard VGA Graphic Adapter

Jul 26, 2009

OK as Ive been looking around the site Ive noticed that there are many issues like this one, and Im sure there are plenty of people out there that have this problem.

My "Windows Experience Index" is at a 1.0 only because my Graphics, and Gaming Graphics rating are at 1.0. Everything else is at 5.9 which I can live with.

When I look at my adavanced settings for my monitor it Shows my Nvidia GPU but only running with 14 MB total avail mem. And I know that NOT right. Unfortunatly when I went to Nvidia's site and ran the auto detect it said that I didnt even have their product and that I had the Standard VGA Graphics Adapter.

I can't seem to find the right drivers for this to fix it all, and I would love to be able to "Experience" Windows 7 at its fullest. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Hopefully the attached photos will give you an idea as to what Im working with. Also When i toubleshoot Aero Ive received this message:

"The current video card may support Aero with a driver that is compliant with the Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM). Contact the manufacturer of your computer or video card for a WDDM-compatible driver."

And when I try to change my screensaver to a 3D one it states that I either need a newer graphics card or one that is compatible with Direct3D.

Generic Non-PnP Monitor-Not Recognizing Sansui SLED2453w?

Jun 17, 2012

I recently aquired a Sansui SLED2453w monitor, and it ran fine for a little while, but now it's set to a resolution of 1280x1024, and is labeled as a "Generic Non-PnP Monitor". This resolution is OKAY, but it's the highest that Windows is allowing me to choose,without saying it's unsupported. I had it running on a above 1700 resolution when it worked. I've tried updating it's driver, "detecting" it, and a couple other methods.

Unable To Set High Resolution On Generic Monitor

Jan 12, 2013

I've built myself a PC and run into some problems with the display resolution.

OS: Win 7 x64
Graphics Card: XFX/ATI Radeon HD 4550 512MB PCI-E 2.0 VGA/HDMI/Dual-Link DV
Monitor: Hanns G HZ194

Display Adapter: ATI Radeon HD 4550
Monitor: Generic PnP Monitor

Current Resolution (I guess) is 1024x768 although the settings show that I have selected the recommended 1366x768. Everything is moderately big and chunky - not safe mode though. Is that the Generic Monitor is causing the problem. How I can get a sensible resolution. It's causing me some big problems as some of my applications don't fit on the screen properly and don't have effective resize/scroll bars.

HP Laptop Often Reverts HP Monitor To Generic Non-Pnp Setting

Oct 10, 2011

I have two HP PC's, both connected to a IOGEAR USB KVM Switch. My Home Desktop is an HP Pavilion Elite HPE. My Work Laptop is an HP 6530b. The monitor is an HP 2010i. The home desktop is running Windows 7 Home Premium, while the work laptop is on Windows 7 Enterprise. The ideal screen resolution (and my preferred) is 1600x900. My Desktop Pavilion never has any issue with proper screen identification. My Work Laptop 6530b, however, drives me nuts. Not every time, but probably about 50% of the time, when it boots up it does not recognize the monitor and instead changes the settings to Generic Non-pnp monitor. Then to make things worse, even if I go into Control Panel and click on 'Detect', it will find I have an HP 2010i monitor, but it still won't allow the proper Screen resolution (not high enough). If I reboot, SOMETIMES it will come up with finding the monitor and will then allow me to change the screen resolution to 1600x900. But of course every time I go through this, I have to re-arrange my desktop icons because they get scrambled every time the screen resolution gets changed.I cannot figure out the pattern of why sometimes I can boot up the laptop just fine with no corrections needed and other times the laptop will not recognize the monitor. All the drivers are up to date.
