Question

Second Display

Nov 3, 2013 7:53AM PST

I have an old ilo Tv that I was using a second monitor. It was working okay until today. Win8 flips back and forth between 1 and 2 displays. I am not able to change the screen resolution to something else it stuck to a suggested setting by Win8 and the option is grayed out. Is there way to reset that setting and have windows do what was doing before and figure out the best setting on its own.

Thanks

Don

One more thing. When I choose to extend the screen it automatically chooses the right resolution and it gives me the option to change the resolution.

I went to screen resolution and clicked on advanced settings. Than I clicked on All Modes and then choose the right resoltion. It is okay now.
