My SyncMaster913v top monitor shows a floating box "Not Optimum Mode Recommended Mode: 1280x1024 60 Hz ?" ever since I installed the new Internet Explorer (maybe this is just a coincidence).
The monitor is connected to a Lenovo X300 Thinkpad via a Lenovo DisplayLink docking station.
Following the solutions posted here earlier I tried to change the monitor settings. It seems that I am not able to access the "Plug and Play-Monitor with Mobile Intel(R) 965 Express Chipset Family" as any changes there have an effect on my laptop, but not on my desktop monitor. And there is no 1280x1024 option.
Starting the computer in the secure mode did not help either.
Thanks a lot! Carmen
In Windows (since it's a laptop I'll assume you're running Windows XP)
right-click on the desktop, select properties, and go to the settings tab.
Click on the display with the 2 in it, then set the resolution to 1280*1024.
If that doesn't work, you should check wether the desktop is extended to that display, or cloned on it. It should be set to the first.
by the way, in safe mode the resolution is always set to 800*600.
This should fix the problem!
If it doesn't, just post what happened here.

Tried that, but it did not help. Monitor no. 2 is not related to anything (I know this, because when it worked and I hit "identify" it showed 1 on the laptop monitor and 3 on the desktop monitor).
Tried setting 3. Lenovo Display Adapter to 1280 x 1024 Pixel, but nothing happens, and I still have this floating box on the screen.
Selecting 50 Hz or 60 Hz makes no difference.
