Generic Pnp Monitor Driver Error
I just had this problem on windows 8. Max resolution was limited by what windows thinks your non-pnp monitor can handle.
Upon going into the Screen Resolution settings Windows for some unknown reason thinks that it is a Generic Non-PnP monitor and therefore has reset the resolution. It claims it is in 1024x768 but.
In my case, it was using my tv as a second screen, which i know can do 1920*1080 I went into my AMD Catalyst control center, My VGA Displays > Properties Then unchecked the box marked 'Use. EDID or driver defaults' Then change the max resolution below to what you know is the limit of your device. BTW this was using a seriously old vga cable, with vga in back of tv and dvi adapter at back of pc Apply changes.
Screen instantly changes to the correct resolution. I just had this problem on windows 8. Magicjack upgrade magicjack setup exe.

I have spent hours trying to fix this, and even ended up trying to get help from HP (with zero results) Your fix is what worked. Remove the cable and reconnect. I had the same problem. I have a large Samsung display but the driver was set to 'generic non-pnp monitor' after briefly removing the cable.
I think that the way I plugged the cable into my laptop, slightly at an angle, may have had something to do with it. I tried deleting the driver but that did nothing! I pulled the plug on the cable and re-inserted. This time it has been recognised as a SMEX220 and the resolution is as high as I like it.
Generic Pnp Monitor Driver Windows 10
In the device manager it still says Generic but now it is a pnp (plug n play?) monitor. And anyway it works.
