Custom Resolution Utility (CRU)

[Jacob Bugge]

ToastyX,

I was kindly referred to this thread by John over here (post #3),

and I have tried to work my way through your instructions for my Philips 109P CRT monitor, however without luck.

The available resolutions for it that I know of are 1920x1440/60Hz, 1600x1200/75Hz, and 1280x1024/85Hz; and they work on an XP PC.

I updated my onboard Intel HD Graphics 4400 to the 4th generation Intel Graphics Driver for Windows 7/8.1 [15.36] (it is called 10.18.14.4578 by Windows 7), so I should meet the requirements, I believe.

Before running the CRU.exe, I could already choose those three refresh rates under Screen Resolution (RightClick from Desktop) or in the Graphics Control Panel.

When starting the CRU.exe for the first time, the monitor was listed as active and with an asterisk.

And from the start the Detailed Resolutions box contained 1600x1200 but at 85Hz which I changed to 75Hz.

And from the start the Standard Resolutions included 1920x1440/60Hz, 1792x1344/60Hz, 1600x1200/75Hz, 1280x1024/85Hz, 1280x1024/60Hz, 1024x768/85Hz, 800x600/85Hz, 640x480/85Hz.

And from the start, the Established Resolutions included 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, and 1280x1024, at different refresh rates up to 75Hz, with All ticked.

After running the CRU.exe, the monitor is listed as active and with an asterisk.

When I run the restart.exe, the screen goes blank a few times, the first time showing an even lower resolution than 1280x1024, and ends on 1280x1024 with a window called Restart 1.3, with the statement Graphics Driver Restarted and three buttons, Restart Again, Recovery Mode, and Exit.

I have tried multiple restarts and also recovery mode.

Whatever I have done, I still only get the resolutions from 1280x1024 down, exactly as before running the CRU.exe and restart.exe.
