MY MONITOR IS SHOWING AN INPUT NOT SUPPORTED FLOATING MESSAGE. I JUST HOOKED IT UP TO AN EMACHINES COMPUTER. WHAT IS THE PROBLEM?

no PC stated, why post lacking what is connect to what.?
Floating, ahh, a floating error box on the desktop, sure.
the typical PC laptop
has hot key, (in the operators guide for sure)
that toggles like this.
1: auto
2: external
3: internal.
4; both.
this is covered in the PCs manual but no PC stated so no help possible. lacking facts like this.

my guess the word floating means, on the screen local
i see a box floating on the screen, actually just a warning message.
that means the UNSTATED OS on your PC does not support that monitor, (its not a crysis)
what OS, XP, W7, W8 or w10, we can not guess OS ever.
you need to say.??????????????????????????????

w17e is now 12 years old (means as old as)
and a new PC with new OS may not support this old a monitor. (eg windows 10 might not)
but we can still make it work.
the trick is set the PCs resolution to external monitor max.
1440 by 900

exceeding this resolution the monitor will be dead
or if lucky, will show, "OUT OF RANGE"
ON the old external monitor.

to get ride the floating error, youd have to tell me
what PC you have,
and what OS you run,
click control panel + system , see what OS is there, easy as pie.


IS this unstated PC connected to the internet.
if yes
see this, MS does support it , if connected

before you hook the monitor in your device,try to set lower resolution of your device then hook the monitor now.

Your PC video resolution is too high for the monitor to display, it should be set to the native resolution of the monitor for best pictures.

Your PC video resolution is set too high for the monitor to display. You should set it to the native resolution of this monitor, 1920 × 1080 @60Hz.

HI,

ITS A PROLEM WITH URS MONITOR RESOLUTION,

THE RESOLUTION WHICH IS COMMING OUT FROM THE GRAPHIC CARD IS NOT SUPPORTED BY URS MONITOR,SO SET RESOLUTION TO 1024 BY 768 TRUE COLOUR.

RABBANEES

You resolution on the eMachine is higher than what the 42inch LCD can support .. reduce is to size by check the LCD manual and make change in window display settings

check the num lock after power on the machine if it is working it is the problem with monitor otherwise it is the problem with system.

IT sounds like the monitor got fried.. sometimes if the monitor is in the on position as the power comes back, the monitor gets an unexpected sure which can sometime damage the circuitry. You may be out of luck. You're only other option is to try using the monitor on another computer to see if it's just a weird connection issue.

Your monitor has several different video inputs.
Go to the configuration settings on your monitor and select the video input that matches the video cable from your computer.

This message shows that you are not setting the resolution correctly.

When you are in Windows, click on - Control panel - Display - Setting - Screen Resolution (set yo 1280 x 1024). then click ok.

Your floating box will gone.

I got the same problem and got the solution from [email protected].

Hope this will help you.
