Either your video output device (either video card or onboard video) is not powerful enough to offer that resolution, or your device drivers are not up to date.  \n\nFirst thing is to update your drivers, go to either nVidia ( http://www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp ) or ATI ( http://ati.amd.com/online/customercareportal/drivers.html ) and get the latest drivers for your device.\n\nIf that doesn't fix the problem, you will have to go look for a card that has the ability to display that resolution.  Max resolution is always noted on a new card.\n\nIf you are running onboard video (your monitor cable comes out where all the other cords come out, not from its own card) it is likely that you will have to invest in a new card.  You should be able to find a decent one for under $50 for general display, $100-$600 if you want good video and gaming, but that is a whole different discussion. I recommend http://www.newegg.com for new hardware.

Either adjust your monitors dimensions using the buttons on the monitor. Or right click the desktop and select properties then go to settings and change your resolution or perhaps you may need to resize the window that the picture is in. \n\nEither of the 3 above could be your problem.

You need to access the display properties and adjust as necessary.  You can do this by right clicking on an empty part of the desktop and going to 'Properties' then clicking on the 'Settings' tab.  If this does not help, then the drivers for your graphics card may need to be reinstalled/updated.  You do this by finding out what graphics adapter you are using - open the device manager by going to Start - Run and typing devmgmt.msc, then expand the section under Display Adapters or using a System Information utility such as the one included with Windows (if you are running Windows).  You would do this by going to Start - Programs - Accessories - System Utilities - System Information, then when it opens, expand the 'Components' section and click 'Display'.  Go to the site of the manufacturer for the adapter and download the latest drivers for your version.  After installation, you will have to reboot the computer.  Navigate back to the display properties by using the method mentioned above and change your resolution and color depth settings.\n\nIf the above does not fix your issue, then it may be a faulty monitor.  I would try other fixes before replacing your monitor, though.

The kids have probably changed the settings.  Right click on the desktop and select properties, then Settings and drag the screen resolution.  You might have to do this several times until its the size you want.

This may have to do with Windows adjusting the display settings to either better work with your monitor refresh settings or display adapter card.\nUpdate the driver on your display adapter card.  Check out what its settings are at:\nright click the desktop and go to properties>settings> advanced> adapter\nCheck the monitor settings as well.

I would guess that you are running to high a resolution. Try running in safe mode, to do that restart your system but when it says its loading Windows, start hitting F8. From there select safe mode, then when windows is loaded, right click on the desktop and change the resolution to either 800x600 or you could try 640x480. if those do not work, you may have a problem with your monitor. How old is the monitor? Maybe the monitor cant handle the video card.

You need a video card with two outputs. After installing the card's driver, you need to extend the Windows Desktop to both screens (in Control Panel).

If you are getting something on your screen and then it goes blank right as it is booting into windows.  It is probably because your screen resolution or refresh is to high for the monitor.  Follow Microsoft's directions to boot into VGA mode.  If you aren't getting anything on the monitor Check your cables or the monitor on another machine.\n\nhttp://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;315222

LCD monitors won't handle high refresh rates.  Your video card should be set to 60hz otherwise the LCD monitor will simply shut down and refuse to turn on (blink power)

Right click in the background on your desktop and select "Properties".\n\nSelect the "Settings" tab and make the screen resolution higher, try using 1024x768 or 1152x864

right click on your dektop, goto properties>settings..find "screen area" and move the slider, 800x600 is standard..(1024x768 is a bit smaller)then hit apply>ok\n\nyour computer may restart, Windows saves settings when it restarts so you may want to restart before doing anything else.\nthis MAY work for you, it did for me

Make sure that your computer isn't set to run at a super-high resolution. The resolution might be higher than the monitor actually supports, so some stuff might get cut off (my old laptop did that).

I've seen this issue with monitors that cannot handle the resolution and refresh settings that the video card is trying to display.  If you see the message and cannot access your display, you need to reboot, hit F8 for XP/2000 (or F5 if you have an older operating system) before you see the Windows Splash Screen and go into Safe Mode.  Once you are in Safe Mode, you want to right-click anywhere on your desktop and select Properties.  On the settings tab, you can adjust your resolution.  Usually the resolution needs to be lowered in order for the monitor to properly output the video.  I would do this first.  If you click on Advanced, you should be able to find the properties for the refresh rate as stated by the other answerer.  You may want to lower this as well if the "out of frequency" message continues to come up.  Hope that helps.

Is this laptop new (like maybe only a few months old)?\nIf not then you might need to update you're video driver, or reinstall it.\n\nIf still nothing, goto control panel, click display.\nGoto the last tab and click the advanced button.\nAt that point I really can't help you too much, just find something that talks about a 2nd screen/monitor.
