I have a VGA switch that was supposed to support DDC but whenever i hook up the monitors to it, windows defaults the monitors to generic non-pnp monitors. Thus the resolutions are bad. I'm looking for a way to get around this by forcing EDID info for each monitor everytime i manually use the VGA switch.

Is this something your program can help with. i'm trying to mess around with it now. Have any ideas?

CRU can override the EDID for non-PnP monitors. Just add the resolutions you want, and click OK to save them. They should be available after rebooting.

I was going to try to replace the generic non-pnp driver with a .ini files created by this program but i guess thats no what its for. I'm stumped on what to do.

You shouldn't need to export anything. You can export an INF file and install it using the Device Manager if you want to change the monitor name, but that's not necessary for the EDID override to work. If you want to export the EDID for moninfo.exe to read, export it as a .bin file.
