I turned on my PC today as usual and noticed that my monitor resolution is missing (1440x900) also its not mentioning my monitor "plug & play" in the device manager section its simply saying "default monitor" and since it was fine when I turned it off the night before and now its not im a little unsure of what the problem may be.

Things I have tried so far to fix the issue...

-Reinstalled GFX Card Drivers
-Reinstalled Monitor Drivers
-Unplugged and reconnected all the hardware.
-System Restore
-Rollback on previous drivers (it says no previous drivers were installed which isnt the case)

If anyone had any other suggestions of what the problem could be then id appreciate some help with this, thanks.

EDIT: Just realised I spelt "Resolution" wrong, sorry about that.

I'd suggest downloading the "latest and greatest" GFX card drivers.

I read a couple of articles regarding loss of a resolution setting and it seems that the problems are getting solved by the adding the latest drivers available.

Is that a specific type of GFX driver? As I've already downloaded the latest drivers from nVidia for my GFX card.

If you have the latest, you might want to check nVidia's forums for your specific problem. I've found that the closer to the source the more they are aware of their own problems...

It could be you need to roll back to a different driver based on your specific card...they might be able to direct you.

OS - Windows XP
CPU - Intel Pentium D 2.8Ghz
Video Card - nVidia GeForce 210 512mb
RAM - 2gb DDR II

I reinstalled my GFX card drivers AND monitor drivers, yet it's still showing up as "default monitor" in Device Manager.

You might want to try removing and reinstalling in safe mode...
