The free 30-day trial of 5.1.1 seems to work fine on Win11, but reverts to the default settings on reboot. I trust that's not the case with the purchased version, but would like confirmation first.

I've been using 1st clock www.1stclock.com version 4.0 for years and love it! Unfortunately, its buggy on Win11, but their trial 5.1.1 seems to work fine. The settings aren't holding on reboots, but again, it's a trial.

IT'S WORKING!!! Thanks primarily to Bree and her screenshots, it became clear that the Adapter Type, rather than driver, was the culprit. As Bree stated, the Microsoft Basic Display Driver, "basic" being the key word, is used by default if another adapter isn't present. Loading drivers alone...

I believe you! I'm now trying to find whatever software Radeon has that I haven't already tried installing.

I downloaded and installed AMD's recommended driver, and although the driver version changes, the adapter type never does. ???? Maybe it will load through the CMD function. Sure glad I haven't given up drinking!

Thanks again Bree, but my screens aren't the same!

I would if I could, but "Display" > "Advanced Display" doesn't appear under "System" on my machine; nor anything else for changing resolution. The screenshot on post #8 is evidently from a graphics card.

Thanks Bree, but I've already tried that!

I'm convinced that the driver alone isn't responsible for the resolution problem. Likewise, AMD's Catalyst Control Center only shows settings for CPU Power, nothing for display resolution. I vaguely remember using the Control Center several years ago to change resolution for Win 10 on another...

Thanks everyone, your help is much appreciated. Unfortunately, still no success and I'm still clueless. And as sometimes happens, I'm now so confused I can't tell up from down and will try again later and post back. It's tempting to say the heck with it; but after installing a substitute for...

I just upgraded from Win10 to 11 on my old standby AMD Phenom machine with integrated graphics: Motherboard: MSI 785GT- E63 with ATI Radeon HD 4200. Amazingly, the upgrade seems to have been successful … EXCEPT it now offers only 3 display resolutions: 1280 x 1024, 1024 x 768 (recommended), and...
