Hey guys, not sure if this is widespread or not. My problem is that I cannot get 1440x900 to work with the catalyst 7.5s at all. I am running the following..

AMD Athlon X2 6000+
MSI K9A Platinum
4gigs Mushkin DDR2 800
2x1650Pros in Crossfire
650 watt Thermaltake Toughpower PSU
2x 160gig Segate SATA2 HDs on RAID 0
Sound Blaster xFi Xtreme Gamer Pro Fatality
16x Pioneer DVD ROM
18x LG Lightscribe Burner
Westinghouse LTV-19W3 through VGA

This only happeneds with the 7.5s, had to go back to 7.4 (when this happeneds my screen goes blank and says "out of range") when obviously it shouldn't be. Any help or even knowledge that everyone on this forum is aware of it would be appriciated =) thanks.

If you didn't stand to gain anything I would stay with 7.4 untill 7.6. If this a widespread proplem people will report on it.

You could try this. Go to your add remove programs and uninstall everything ATi then install the new 7.5 driver and CCC.

Also run driver cleaner in safe mode after uninstalling all the ATI software.

Well that still hasn't fixed my issue, upon reboot to login screen after an install it still says out of range. Running on 1280x960 atm, guess I will re-install 7.4s ><.

I have the same problem with Catalyst 7.5
My system is
AMD64 3000+
ASUS A8N SLI Deluxe
Kington DDR400 512MB*2
Sapphire X1650XT
Windows XP SP2

When I install CCC 7.5 and restart. The window screen at resolution = 1440*900 was totally blank. The monitor said that no signal input.
But When I changed the resolution to 1024*728, its work.
In my opinion I think that is bug for Catalyst 7.5 with resolution = 1440*900 on windows XP.

Now I must use Catalyst 7.4 and wait until AMD release the new version.

Weird, I don't have the issue.

EDIT: Maybe you guys can try to uninstall your monitor driver using the Device Manager and then reboot, letting Windows reinstall the driver. I had some issues before that were solved in that manner.

I do not have this problem, but do have the following: when loading certain programs (not all) only 1/3 is shown and the rest remains as my desktop. That is with 7.5 upgrading from 6.x dated june 2006.

OP is XP with SP2, Acer 19W monitor, ATI X1600 AGP

Any suggestions to resolve this?

Thanks.

well glad to see I am not the only one with this issue, as for monitor drivers none exist for me since I am using an LCD TV it just uses default monitor on my dual x1650s, unless someone knows of a driver for westinghouse tvs/vista support at all?

This appears to be a problem with that. It's best to submit a ticket with ATI and present a screenshot of the problem (via print screen key or camera). That way they understand what you are trying to say.

Yes, I have a ticket with ATI, but one never knows if a member here might have a solution.

Yeah, I had that problem, too. It seems to be that the Cat 7.5's are fighting with Vista when you try to change resolution via Display Properties. Thing to do is:

* If you're "locked out" with a black screen/no signal, reboot, hit F8 during boot to get the Boot Menu, and start up at the safe resolution (the 640x480). Once in Vista, change resolution to 1024x768. This is so the entire CCC window with buttons will be in view. Now you're ready...

1. First, set your resolution and frequency in CCC, then Apply, and OK.

2. Next, set the same resolution and frequency (the cause of my problem to begin with) in Display Properties.

I think the problem is with the frequency not agreeing in both places. Just let the Cat 7.5's have their way, by changing things via CCC, until 7.6 is out. Cheers!

If I remember correctly, no matter where i set my res weather it was from ccc or the display properties it would just black out. I think I will just wait, I dont want to do another re-install of the cats.. done like 5 already lol but thanks for the suggestion.

I signed up to post a problem here relating to Catalyst 7.5.

My LCD is also widescreen (ViewSonic VA1912wb) and I'm running Vista 32-bit.

I can't seem to set my display to 1400x900 32bpp but I can do 1400x900 16bpp. And 16bpp is so ugly when you're running Vista. It's an odd little bug and I'm going back to 7.4 to get the option back.

Im still using the old drivers. 7.5 does'nt detect my monitor properly it seems.

I had similar problems on my Samsung SM940BW, plugging in my old 1280x1024 LCD I was able to test changes and the Samsung kept saying set to 1440x900 60Hz and nothing. Bumped up to 75Hz and same rez and all worked well!
Don't know if this will help anyone else at all, but figured it was worth posting :)

Suggestion for the 1440x900 issue

OK, for those of you that are getting the "Out of range" (basically) message, I found the most bizarre thing on my system - I had to switch which DVI output my monitor was connected to from the 7.4 drivers to the 7.5.

Yes, I know it doesn't make any sense, but it has worked. The BIOS screen showed up fine, the Windows splash screen showed up fine, but the minute Windows started up and the driver started doing its thing, the monitor went into "Not Optimum Mode" operation.

So, if you're still having problems - try that; it's like the driver has logically redefined the primary and secondary DVI outputs. Why this would primarily manifest itself on those of us running 1440*900 displays, I'm not sure. Hell, I'm not sure why it would decide to go crazy like this in the first place.

If ATI (AMD) responds back to the ticket I opened with them, I'm going to mention this little tid bit to them as well.

Same problem here. Cat 7.5 with Vista x64 Enterprise and Acer AL1916w. Can't do 1440x900.

This blows.

I too have this problem.
I first had it in WindowsXP which resulted in the previously mentioned issues. My monitor would just cycle in the power off/mode before it got the login screen.
I recently installed Vista Home Basic on a 2nd harddrive, which is dual booting fine. Downloaded the proper drivers for my system, rebooted and they installed fine. Since my resolution was still in 800x600, I went and changed it to 1440x900 then this is when I experience the same problem as I had in XP. My monitor cycles on/off.
Hardware:
Monitor: LG 194WTX (Digital)
Video Card: ATI Radeon x1650 Pro 512MB AGP
Motherboard: Asus P4P800S-X
HD0: WinXP
HD1: Vista Home Basic 32bit

(It's good to know others out there are having this same problem. Now I have the task of trying to get the 7.5s off of Vista and installing the 7.4s.)
