Does anyone know how to force a monitor to a certain resolution?

[clivebuckwheat]

Here is the problem, where I work we have podium computers hooked up to projectors, and often the monitor becomes out of sync, and then we have to boot in low resolution mode, set the settings back to 1024x768 @ 60 hz and then the projector works, I have read there is a way to force a monitor to a certain resolution using the edid info.

Does anyone know how to do this?

You could provide more specific information (including as requested above).

You can use it to create your own monitor.inf driver file for your projector or standard monitor and configure it to set only your desired resolution. Downside is the driver is not signed and you are prompted to allow it to install.
