Auto Adjust In Progress
I have a new Dell 193FP monitor and I'm experiencing the same "auto adjust in progress" messages during startup that many others have written in about, but I can't seem to find a solution anywhere. I've done everything that has been suggested in this forum, but I (like everyone else) have not had any luck getting the problem fixed.
Does anyone out there have a resolution for this?
Many thanks if you can help....

And you're correct that "auto adjust in progress" messages are only coming up during the bootup process. However, it only started doing that a couple days ago, and I've done nothing to change or upgrade any of the software/hardware on the computer.
I have other Dell flatpanels connected to Dell computers, and this problem doesn't occur on any of those. Just on this one...the Dell E196FP.
It's definitely an odd situation, but I'm hoping someone, somewhere has found a fix for it and can let me know...
Many thanks...

are you running your computer in that res?
when your computer boots, it uses a lower res image for the bios screen and the windows load screen. during this time the monitor may detect the lower res and try to adjust the display so it fills the screen.
once the desktop loads everything should be normal.
(just a shot in the dark.. i am not familiar with the issue on that model)

FYI---I finally switched out the Dell monitor with my Gateway FP monitor....and, as expected, no problems with "adjusting". So, apparently, if one stays with the Dell monitor, you have to live with the "auto-adjust"---I find it interesting that it had not happened previously, and I have a friend with the same Dell monitor and he never has the "auto adjust" issue....so something is wacky. It would be nice if someone at Dell could explain it. Tech support is no support---I usually end up knowing more about resolving hardware/software problems than they do-----but, I guess if you're living in India and getting meager pay to scan through a list of problems and offer the provided Dell list of "responses", one can't expect actual expertise. Let me know if you discover anything new.

Try this: click "turn off computer" but don't turn it off....your wallpaper turns the typical "gray" color in prep to shut down---on the monitor, hit the "plus" button to execute an "auto adjust"---do this about 3 times.......
so far, it works!

Solution not working here. Dell 17" flat pannel originally hooked to my wife's (newer) XP machine. She got so frustrated with it she came into my office took my monitor and left hers. Now doing the exact same thing on my (6) yr old XP machine. All hardware is Dell. Problem so bad at times the monitor is not useable. I've wasted more than enough time on this. Close to throwing the dam thing in the trash.

I just had the same problem, it started after a power outage. The turn off-then-reset resolution fix didn't work for me, but when I removed the VGA cable from the back of the monitor, then reattached it, (power on), the message is now gone.

Try this. Switch off your monitor. remove the cables and wait a while. Put on the power cable and switch on the monitor. The monitor will start a selftest. After this, reconnect the video cable to the monitor or PC and than that irritating auto adjusting must be gone.
I tried everything and nothing helped until I did the foregoing. Following this procedure might work for you too.
Succes,
