So I just recently built a new computer, and im using a 22" 1080p vizio HDTV as my monitor. Problem, windows only detected the max resolution as being 720p. Thats alright, Catalyst Control Center knows that its 1080p, and lets me set it. Well, that is until I reboot, and windows once again detects my max resolution as being 720p.
Research by the way of google suggests that the problem likely lies in the Vizio not being designed to properly report itself, and thus windows detecting it as only being 720p every time I boot, resulting in my resolution being capped. That dosnt quite explain how Catalyst manages to know what its doing though, as it even knows the exact model of the TV.
Anyway, what Im really looking for is a way to get my resolution to stick so I dont have to go into catalyst and fix it every time I boot. Help much appreciated.
Double posting this because every time I click edit IE crashes. Its sorta been crashing alot. Dont have a decent browser yet. Anyway, forgot to mention that im running XP Professional 64bit, vid card is sapphire radeon 4850, and TV is a Vizio 220lf
If you hibernate instead of shut down, does this problem with the 720p still happen? You may be right in the case that the monitor isn't reporting itself correctly. In that case you're probably stuck. You could try Powerstrip. I used this back a long time ago to force certain refresh rates (this was a LONG time ago). I have no idea if it will solve your problem, but it should be able to force Windows to start with the 1080p.
As for your IE problem, have you done all updates? If so, that seems indicative of a larger problem with your system. I'm not trying to launch off a Browser-wars discussion, but IE7 never crashes on me, slow as it may be.
I think your problem is XP 64-bit. Last I heard, it was really buggy and mostly shit.
Oh, no. XP 64 was the most stable and least buggy operating system Microsoft ever released. I imagine a lot of this was because of Dave Cutler who was in charge of the project. He was the man behind the development of Windows NT as well. So, you should check those sources as they are misinformed in this case.
I'm sorry I don't have any better info for you in this case. You could send an email to ATI and see if that gets you any info. You'll probably have to send 2 as the first will most likely give you an auto-response. Also, many people forget this, if this is a boxed copy of Windows, you can call Microsoft directly for support.
