[CRITICAL] Toshiba M45-S269 thinks its fullscreen, not widescreen

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 
Hello all,

I think I seriously messed up my wife's poor laptop.

Whilst trying to get her Toshiba to run 1680x1050 on this monitor, I added a DTD spec using DTD calculator and it worked for a little bit. Actually, it worked fine on the Samsung, but when I got to the Toshiba I somehow really fubared the main laptop screen.

The picture I'm about to show you is very disturbing, but not very clear. Kind of like a blurry murder scene.

I am knowledgeable about computers normally and thought this DTD thing would be easy, but now it seems I really messed something up.

I have tried:
Installing and uninstalling Intel's and Toshiba's display drivers.
Messing with DTD Calculator to get 1280x800 to just work, but alas - it will not.

The problem is (even when I'm rebooting!) the monitor no longer recognizes itself as widescreen. I have no idea how to fix this. The Toshiba logo is even constrained by this screen resolution!

If anyone can help me please let me know.

Regards,
TSFroggy
