Dell LCD Says "Can't display this display mode"

[ccjjr59]

I am having a problem where when I remote desktop connect to a new HP computer with a Dell LCD monitor, then disconnect and I try to go logon locally, the monitor says "Can't use this display mode".

I figured that the LCD can only handle up to 1024x768 and the computer I used to connect to it is 1152x864, so I set Remote Desktop to only use 1024x768 as display but I get the same problem.

What can I do? I end up having to hard power off the computer because I can't see anything to shutdown properly.

Any ideas?

thanks,
Curtis
