    Changing display settings for "second screen only" mode


    When I use the "second screen only" mode I receive "out of range" error, which means I have to change screen resolution and refresh rate to match the display settings, but I can't use the display to see display settings and change it. Is there a way to change these settings for this mode before I switch to it? I have changed settings for "duplicate" and "extend" mode since I could use the first display and these modes work fine.

    :)

    Hi William,

    It is important that you have the correct screen display and resolution. We suggest that you perform the following steps to reset the monitor settings:

    • Boot your computer in
      safe mode      .
    • Once in safe mode, right-click the desktop > Screen Resolution.
    • Change the display settings back to the original configuration.
    • Restart your computer.

    Feel free to update us on the result.
