Cannot open Monitor ICM file driver
I have just reformatted my PC and have been unable to change the screen
resolution to 1024 by 768 pixels. The Monitor keeps saying "Out of Range" when I try to change it forcing the resolution back to 800 by 600. I have downloaded the Monitor driver to correct this problem but when I try to install, I'm told "Windows cannot open this file". I have done a registry clean and repair as suggested from the Windows Live Search and even had this particular RegSweep software technician remotely log in to my PC in order to try and fix the problem. The technicial was unable to solve this problem. Can anyone help me? |

Cannot open Monitor ICM file driver
"Out of range" means your monitor cannot display the resolution you have
chosen. When you reinstalled your software did you reinstall your video card driver? (This is /not/ the same as your monitor driver.) To install a monitor driver in Windows XP: Control Panel Display Settings tab Advanced button Color Management tab Add button A registry does not need cleaning. Do not use registry cleaners unless you are prepared to cope with the damage they can cause. --- Leonard Grey Errare humanum est Stellar358 wrote: I have just reformatted my PC and have been unable to change the screen resolution to 1024 by 768 pixels.

Cannot open Monitor ICM file driver
Thank's Leonard. I did not reinstall the video card driver. The technician
that logged into my computer also told me to get to the Color Management tab from the display properties but there is no Color Management tab there. When I told him this, he asked to log into my computer and then he saw for himself it was not there. The monitor was working perfectly at 1024 by 768 pixels before I reformatted. This monitor is still new and I have reformatted this computer a few times before and never needed to reinstall the video card driver in order to change the resolution.

You /always/ need to re-install the video card driver when you reformat
your computer. Different topic: If you have "reformatted this computer a few times" you have to ask yourself what you are doing wrong. Most people never need to reformat their computer. My copy of XP Home is more than 6 years old and never had to be re-installed. --- Leonard Grey Errare humanum est Stellar358 wrote: Thank's Leonard. I did not reinstall the video card driver.
