📎 AI Summary:
The thread discusses a user’s issue after upgrading to Windows 7, where their ATI 4650 graphics card is only displaying at 1024x768 resolution with a black screen on other settings, and their Samsung monitor is recognized as a generic device. The original poster mentions trying drivers from both Windows Update and ATI’s site without success. Contributors suggest reinstalling drivers directly from ATI, but the user notes that the problem persists with both sources, and a correction is made that their TV is a Toshiba, not Samsung, which might affect compatibility. Overall, the discussion revolves around troubleshooting driver and compatibility issues following the Windows 7 upgrade.

I am completely stumped, and from looking at the other threads I hope you guys can help me out. I updated from windows xp to Windows 7 build 7100 today. I am running an ATI 4650, I have tried the drivers from windows update, and from the ati site. My monitor is a Samsung 19lv505, which windows detects as Generic Non-PnP Monitor. 22".

I am currently stuck in 1024x768 mode, every other resolution leads to a black screen, and eventually reverts back to 1024. I have no recommended resolution in the list. I have looked all over for a samsung driver for my tv/pc, nowhere to be found. At this point I am stumped on where to go next, any input would be superb.

Thanks in advance.
:confused:
 

Solution
Uninstall the ATI drivers and get them from ATI's website. Don't use Windows Updates for any drivers. Get them from the manufacturer.

Uninstall from Installed Programs, this should be suffciant
Then install the drivers from ATi's website

Try this.

Thanks for the reply. But, as I stated, I currently have the drivers from the ATI site installed, which produces the same error as the windows update driver.

Try Link Removed and Link Removed due to 404 Error. Maybe find something relevant to your GFX card.

I was trying to say earlier,, but the site was chocking..... That TV is a Toshiba, not a Samsung
And may not be compatible yet with Win 7 or ati's 7 drivers.....

You might try Vista Drivers?
