Windows 10: Display problem

I just bought a refurbished Dell U2412M 24"monitor to replace the Dell E177FPC 19" that I use as a second monitor. The one I already have is a Dell 2405FPW 24". My existing setup has the big dell directly into the VGA output on the desktop, and the small one is in the DP port which goes to an active HDMI adapter and then to an adapter to VGA and then a VGA cord to the monitor. Both work fine. When I plugged the new one in, the 240FPW blinking on and off and the new one had no display. My display adapter Intel HD graphics 4000 shows 2 monitors hooked up but only one is displaying. I tried deleting the driver and reinstalling. No change. How do I fix this?

Thanks

Driver and/or display problem (AMD)

Try this:

• Right click on a blank area of your desktop and select "Display Properties"

• Select "Advanced Display Settings"

• Select "Display Adapter Properties"

• Click on "List all Modes"

• Select the preferred display mode. Something with at least 60Hz.

• Then select your setting you want

• See if the option came back

 

4870x2 won't display at 1680x1050 at all!

OK. Now I know what ur problem is. Step by step:
1. Go to Catalyst Control Center
2. Click on the word "Graphic" right on top left corner. It will display drop down menu
3. Click on Display monitor and will see the list of monitor at near bottom
4. Right Click the monitor and select "Configure". It will show up the window
5. There will be 3 option to select. Select the middle one and then click on the tab which show the bar with 15%.
6. Drag the bar to max, and the screen will stretch to the native resolution 1680x1050.
7. Also click the tab with showing RGB drop down list and select the last one (it will change to image quality for pc).
That's it. Good Luck.

 

Windows 10 1709 System Restore problems...

That seems to be an attempt at Option 2 in the tutorial, which requires you to
a. Boot to a command prompt (Did you?)
b. You then seem to be mixing steps 3,4 and 5, thus your command is incorrect.

I suggest Option 1 is easier.

If you still have problems, please repost listing each specific step and saying which option from the tutorial you are using. Thanks.
