My PC allows me to choose resolutions that are too high for my monitor to display.

Connor Lynch · Feb 17, 2015

When selecting resolutions I can go above the max resolution my monitor can handle resulting in black screen, this becomes an issue as some programs start in those higher resolutions causing crashes. The tick box saying "Hide modes this monitor cannot display is greyed out and is un-ticked". This is an ongoing issue and installing new drivers does not seem to help. My monitor is a Dell ST2220L. You help would be appreciated thank you.

Did you update drivers just for the monitor or for the graphics card too?

VicVega1 :

Yes I have updated the drivers for my GTX 660 ti. Although it recognizes my Monitor as a Generic non-pnp monitor.

So there's the problem - something about the monitor's driver is wrong. drivers are updated - where did you get them?
also do you have a driver cd?
what operating system?

I have windows 7 64-but professional and I have installed the drivers as I just found the disk but It still does not let me limit my max resolution.

what kind of cable are you using? VGA? Try switching to a different cable or a different port.
you could try unplugging the monitor from the power source for a coupleof minutes.
also, how did you install the driver? did you uninstall the previous first?
