    Those were definitely some of the things I had come across.  Unfortunately, the best solution for me is to probably let this one go.  Appreciate the advice, but I realized could have done my quick fix 1,542+ times already.  Spending hours looking for a permanent fix to something that only takes seven seconds or so to change once every login is no longer worth it.

    Thanks again,

    One thing that maybe a quick fix , but again this is dependant on setup

    Say for example you are connecting by HDMI at present changing to DVI the issue may go away ..

    This is possible not saying it will in yur case but generally as this is a different part of the table , the error may not exist.

SWTOR for some reason reads the EDID - See Here

Two initial thoughts , without knowing your setup

try this

Click Start
Control Panel
hardware and sound
device manager
go to monitor and right mouse click on update driver software
select browse my computer
pick from list
untick show compatible hardware
select standard monitor types then select digital flat panel (Pick your max resolution here) (if you have a lcd that is)

or try using the Custom Resolution Utility to deselect unsupported aspect resolutions for your monitor
