Hi, This is the problem of screen resolution. First check that you have installed the display driver properly. Reset the resolution best compatible with your system and monitor. You can reset the resolution in standard 1024*768 pixel.

you need to install the right driver for your graphics card you are currently using windows support not the actual graphics card.

why dont you disable hibernation as it seems the dynadock is outputting a signal that is the maximum that your external monitor / tv is capable of showing

you need to change your screen resolution. the best way would be to hook it up to a bigger monitor or a television- one that can handle the present screen resolution, and then back the resolution down before re-hooking up the 19" monitor.

or you could boot in safe mode, uninstall the video driver, and then reinstall the driver, to reset the screen resolution to a basic resolution.

to change your screen resolution (hooked up to a different monitor) right click on the desktop and select "properties" in xp or "personalization>screen resolution" in vista/7.

The action you took to fix your computer by resetting it has reset the screen resolution to what sounds like the XP default.

To adjust the screen resolution follow this set of instructions-

First right-click on the desktop and then left click on Properties from the menu that appears.

The display properties dialogue box will appear, click on the settings tab at the top right of the box.

Screen Resolution
This slide bar is what you use to change the resolution, the options you have will depend on your graphics card and monitor, but the standard options are 800x600, 1024x768 and 1152x864.

Changing the Resolution
To change your resolution simply slide the bar along to the resolution of your choice and then click the Apply button.

After clicking Apply your screen will resize to the new resolution and you will be presented with a confirm dialogue box, if you are happy with the way your screen looks then simply click Yes, if you would like to try a different resolution click No.

Click Apply to 1440 900 resolution at the [s-a-m-e t-i-m-e] you push the AUTO button on the LCD. Will reset something somewhere.... yet, worked every time.

When Setting The Screen Resolution There is a 30 second wait period where you have to click ok for the setting to take permanent effect. If you could not see anything it should have returned to normal within the time limit and or is not saved and can be returned to normal by reseting the computer via the power button.
Hope This Helps.
Sincerely,
Michael Scott

1. Genaraly 14" and 15" Monitors supported Up to 800by600 some monitors 1024by768pixels 17"monitors supports 1024by 768 to 1280by960 pixels and Other 19",21" are supported 1280by1024 pixels at the same time change the screen Refreshrate at display properties.

If this is an incorrect display setting on the Operating system right click your desktop, choose properties then click settings under screen resolution bring the slider all the way to the left, choose apply. This will lower your resolution temporarily, if the picture fills the screen appropriately, we now know this is a software issue. The next step is simply to find the resolution you like the best. IF this does not resolve the problem, it is most likely a monitor problem. On your monitor there should be button allowing you to access the "reset to defaults" option. If you're unable to find the menu option let me know what make and model monitor you have. If you are able to reset to defaults and the picture is still bad, it's time for a new monitor.
