Cause
Your monitor may not be Plug-and-Play. Most new monitors are Plug-and-Play but many
older ones aren’t. Software can’t automatically detect settings for monitors that aren’t Plug-
and-Play.
1
Solution
Manually select your monitor settings in the software. For more information,
see “Configure
your monitor settings”, page 7
.
2
Cause
If a monitor was changed or added while Windows was running, the new monitor may not
be detected by the software.
1
Solution
Restart your computer. If your monitor is a Plug-and-Play (DDC) monitor, it should be
automatically detected by the software.

Cause
You may be using BNC connectors with a Plug-and-Play monitor. The Plug-and-Play feature
of a monitor can’t be used with BNC connectors.

Solution
If there’s an HD-15 connector at the back of your monitor, use this connector instead of the
BNC connectors.
