Monitor issue, .... Need a help!
Hello:
Windows 7 with I.E. 11
I used an old flat monitor, 'Generic Non-PnP Monitor' when I started using a refurbished but fast running PC with Win 7/I.E. 11 without any issues attached.
Two days ago, I changed the monitor to an old but in excellent working-conditioned CRT monitor, 'Acer ACT713' with more sharp images in which I prefer. However, whenever I shut-down for more than an hour and starts PC up again, it throws back to 'Generic Non-PnP Monitor,' even though there is 'Acer ACT713' running.
In order to make a correct monitor/Acer ACT713, I need to access, 'Display < Change Display Setting.'
My question is;
How to stabilize an rightful Monitor permanently?
Any help would be trully appreciated.
Thanks,

Your problem is rare usually Windows 7 automatically detects the type of monitor you are using. When you go into change display settings did you click on detect? That should do it and from there you should be able to make that your default like you would with a printer. Try right clicking on that monitor going to properties and then making that monitor your default.

I'm assuming it's the auto detect causing the problem. I took a look through my Win 7 computer and couldn't find a way to turn the monitor auto detect off. I searched the web for "windows 7 turn off monitor auto detect" and this product was one that came up. I've never tried it but it could be an option.
