This error (GetMonitorStrings) means that when we are asking the OS for the monitor name we are not getting anything back.

Notice the title bar of the Profile Chooser window. This window usually has the name of the monitor, but here it has garbage characters.

A possible solution is to update the monitor information by selecting a generic type:

Open Display Properties
Go to the Settings tab
Click Advanced
Go to the Monitor tab
Click Properties
Go to the Driver tab
Click Update Driver
Click Install from a list or specific location
Next
Click Don t search. I will choose the driver to install.
Next
Unmark the Show compatible hardware checkbox
Scroll to the top of the Manufacturer list and click (Standard monitor types)
Click the entry in the Model list that matches the resolution
Next
Finish"
