1. The correct drivers are not being used\n2. try increasing the screen resulution (right click desktop, properties, display, screen resulution. Try using 1024 x 768)

It might be a single resolution burned out of the screen. I hope I'm wrong. The screens are so cheap now, I doubt it's worth fixing..Good Luck.

Either your video output device (either video card or onboard video) is not powerful enough to offer that resolution, or your device drivers are not up to date.  \n\nFirst thing is to update your drivers, go to either nVidia ( http://www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp ) or ATI ( http://ati.amd.com/online/customercareportal/drivers.html ) and get the latest drivers for your device.\n\nIf that doesn't fix the problem, you will have to go look for a card that has the ability to display that resolution.  Max resolution is always noted on a new card.\n\nIf you are running onboard video (your monitor cable comes out where all the other cords come out, not from its own card) it is likely that you will have to invest in a new card.  You should be able to find a decent one for under $50 for general display, $100-$600 if you want good video and gaming, but that is a whole different discussion. I recommend http://www.newegg.com for new hardware.

this happened to me...you donot need a new monitor simply run the computer in safe mode by pressing F8 at the startup screen (manufactor's logo) and choosing safe mode...then do a system restore to before you changed the resolution by going to start>all programs>accesories>system tools>system restore

Go to "Start" Button on the bottom of your Desktop (the display showing just before you log on to whatever on your computer) - Choose"Control Panel" - Click on Themes and Screens - a task bar will come up with a slide-arrow on it - make sure it's on the left side at lowest resolution - then click "OK" and that should do it -

Make sure that your computer isn't set to run at a super-high resolution. The resolution might be higher than the monitor actually supports, so some stuff might get cut off (my old laptop did that).

You haven't told us what type of monitor you're using, or your OS.\n\nI'm a firm believer in beginning with the simplest adjustments and working up from there.\n\nSo, if you're using Windows XP,  then I suggest trying Microsoft's Clear Type:\n\nTo enable Clear Type:\nRight click on a blank area of the Desktop and choose "Properties";\nClick on the Appearance Tab; Click "Effects";\nCheck the box: "Use the following method to smooth edges of screen fonts"\nThen in the drop down box select: "Clear Type"\nThen Click "OK"\n\n(If you prefer, Microsoft can do it for you:)\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/typography/cleartype/tuner/Step1.aspx\n\nEven if you're using a CRT monitor there should be some improvement. \n\nIf that doesn't help then you may need to change the resolution.\nAgain, you'll find that by by right clicking on your Desktop/Properties/Settings and adjust the slider to the best setting for your monitor or,  try using the adjustment controls on the monitor itself.

Try right clicking on ur desktop, \n\nselect:\n\ndisplay modes \n\ntrue colour \n\n1024X768\n\nIt depends on ur PC. This applies to a 15inch monitor. It will be different on other monitors.\n\nIf thats not the case, then your laptop is in safemode, which you can easily convert back into normal mode, by restarting and select F8 or F10.

You are having a resolution/refresh rate problem. Connect your PC to another monitor which works. (CRT usually can handle this). \n\n-Once you can find one, log into windows, go to start -> control panel -> display -> settings.\n-Reduce the screen resolution to 800x600. \n- Click 'Advanced', then click the monitor tab\n- tick 'hide modes this monitor cannot display' and select 60/75hz\n- click OK, and OK again. \n- connect back to plasma and see how you go.\n\nedit: if you can't find another monitor please ask your friends or get your PC to a computer shop to get it repaired.

Go to your desktop and right-click on a blank space....click on properties and select "settings" and adjust your screen to 1028x768 Pixels and that should solve your problem.\n\nGood luck

I had a similar problem. One of my friend advized me to go to MS dos and type scanreg /restore; I got 4 options. He asked me to select the 3rd or 4th. I did and then followed the on screen instructions. I then adjusted display setting color resolution to true color, and 600x480 to 800x600. It is working well now. Please dont ask me more. I am not a computer savvy.

If your using windows xp, uninstall the video driver. \nwhen the system reboots, it will reinstall the vid driver, tell you that it needs to reboot for the newly installed driver and when you come back up, the resolution should be set automatically
