New monitor driver install

spl00g · 10-16-2009, 04:24 PM

I just got a new dell monitor. I do not have a cd drive and so I am unable to install the drivers from the included manufacturers cd. Therefore I downloaded the appropriate drivers from dell and tried installing them. I pick between analog digital and hdmi driver.

For some reason once I install the driver the screen flashes with a message saying resolution unsupported please change resolution to 1920 x 1080 x 60hz, and then the monitor resets to 1600x1200 resolution and it will not let me raise the resolution above what it is at (1600x1200). Video card drivers are up to date anyone have a clue?
