I just swapped monitors and now I have a...

[mindwave]

Guys,

 

I updated my main pc from 07 to 08 the other day, so I'm still swimming through soem of the control changes.

 

Certain things arent where they were in 2007.

 

I went from a 21" 80lb CRT to a 3lb 19"lcd this weekend.

 

I have the monitor on a 4 port KVM and everything was going well.

 

My XP pc I needed to change monitor types and recenter the screen.

 

Then I move over to my MDV2008 amd smack dab in the middle of thesct=reen is ax that takes up abot 1/8 of the real estate that says "SYNC SIGNAL OUT OF RANGE"

 

Ok I get that, in win i had to change it from 72hz to 60hz, and i'm sure doing the same thing in MDV will work as well.

 

unfortunately as I navigate throyugh the menus I selieve that what I'm looking for is right behind that little(not) black box.

 

Anyone w/ any ideas I'm listening

 

thanks

I believe you can do that in MCC > Hardware > Set up the graphical server. I think that you're using a nvidia card, so you could also check in the Tools > System tools > Nvidia display settings. If you can't get to these, can you reduce your app window size, or left-click+Alt and move it until you can?

i usually get that error here in the office (a windows environment) when switching monitors (21" to 17") and the settings are not supported by the smaller replacement. the way we get is that we don't see anything on the screen except for the out of synch message so i just switch them momentarily to the original monitor and then bring down the resolution to sane values (like 800x600) and then do the switch again before tinkering the resolution values to acceptable settings.

 

works like a charm everytime..

 

ciao!
