Workaround "Not Supported Resolution" from Acer LCD on Windows XP
General No Comments »I have an 22″ Acer AL2251W monitor on my Dell running Windows XP Pro with an Intel 82915G/GV/910GL Video card.
Well every time I reboot this computer, the monitor displays an annoying “Not Supported Resolution” box over Windows.
I finally figured out that by just swapping the display mode back and forth from 1680 x 1050 True Color and High Color, after a few tries, the warning box would go away.
Now that process was downright annoying so today I found an easier solution.
I found ResSwitch which is a command line utility for changing your resolution. So that, coupled with this simple batch file:
@echo off
REM high
resswitch.exe 1680 1050 16 0
REM true
resswitch.exe 1680 1050 32 0
(where 1680 is the width, 1050 is the height, 16 is High color and 32 is True color) all I need to do is keep running the batch file until the box goes away saving several mouse clicks.
