Recently during a reinstall, the monitor showed &#8220;out of sync&#8221;, it&#8217;s an older Viewsonic VG150 and my first thought was the monitor has finally passed it&#8217;s prime and it can&#8217;t handle the newer video cards. Something that didn&#8217;t make sense though was that the bios and boot sequence did display on the monitor and it would only display &#8220;out of sync&#8221; when windows started. Some head scratching later, I realized it must be the resolution. I plugged in a newer widescreen monitor and viewed the display properties and indeed the display was set to a widescreen resolution. I changed it to 1024 x 768, applied the setting, switched the monitor back to the Viewsonic and voila! the Viewsonic displayed the window&#8217;s desktop. A simple solution that will keep my old tried and tested monitor in operation.<\/p>\n<div class=\"thanks_button_div\" \n                  style=\"float: left; margin-right: 10px;\"><div id=\"thanksButtonDiv_222_1\" style=\"background-image:url(http:\/\/tek-files.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/thanks-you-counter-button\/images\/thanks_compact_blue1.png); background-repeat:no-repeat; float: left; display: inline;\"\n                onmouseover=\"javascript:thankYouChangeButtonImage('thanksButtonDiv_222_1', true);\" \n                onmouseout=\"javascript:thankYouChangeButtonImage('thanksButtonDiv_222_1', false);\"\n                onclick=\"javascript:thankYouChangeButtonImage('thanksButtonDiv_222_1', false);\" >\n                <input type=\"button\" onclick=\"thankYouButtonClick(222, 'You left &ldquo;Thanks&rdquo; already for this post')\" value=\"Like 0\"\n                  class=\"thanks_button thanks_compact thanks_blue1\"\n                  style=\"  font-family: Verdana, Arial, Sans-Serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: normal;; color:#ffffff;\"\n                  id=\"thanksButton_222_1\" title=\"Click to leave &ldquo;Thanks&rdquo; for this post\"\/>\n             <\/div><div id=\"ajax_loader_222_1\" style=\"display:inline;visibility: hidden;\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"ajax loader\" src=\"http:\/\/tek-files.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/thanks-you-counter-button\/images\/ajax-loader.gif\" \/><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have a LCD monitor, keyboard, mouse, and power cord setup that I use when testing and\/or re-installing a desktop.
