    PC recognising "ghost" monitor


    I´m asking this question for my partner. She has a desktop PC which uses a VGA > HDMI cable to connect to her monitor. I borrowed her monitor to use on my laptop and i used a HDMI cable on both ends. Now when trying to use her computer after few months it recognizes an external "ghost" monitor that does not exist. The display only seems to work if both HDMI and VGA ports are being used but then the resolution is not right and also there is another non existing "monitor" that seems to be connected. This is a new issue since she has used her monitor and PC before without the same issues so I

    Sniper Ghost Warrior

    Hi Gary,

    Sorry for the delay in response.

    • What is the make and model of the computer?
    • Do you face the issue only with Sniper Ghost Warrior?
    We would suggest you to update the graphics drivers and check.

    My TV no longer recognises my PC

    Since moving to Windows 10, my Samsung TV doesn't recognise my PC. When I bought the TV it recognised my PC, then on Windows 7, immediately as one of the available sources, along with USB, HDMI etc. Now that I have changed to Windows 10, however, the TV
    can't see the PC as an input, though everything else, including wifi network and internet access, works as before. I've looked in the devices list in Windows 10 settings, and the TV is listed as available.
    Any suggestions, please?

    PC recognising "ghost" monitor

    Grpahics card and monitor not recognised by Windows 10

    My ACER G277Hl and my Graphics card GE Force 210 are not recognised by Windows 10.

    I have tried to use the manufacturer disk to add the Graphics card driver but get the message that it cannot be installed because the card is not recognised

    I have tried downloading the manufacturer driver for the monitor with the same result.

    In device manager there is no graphics device listed under others when I use view to see hidden files.

    Do I need to reinstall windows 10 and loose all my applications?

    Even if I take this drastic step will it fix the problem?

    I am inclined to reinstall Windows 7
