Screen Resolution Sulaiman 12/26/2008 12:46:07 PM Hi I am unable to set my screen resolution to 1280x1024. I am using the latest nVidia Drivers for graphics card and the display is working at that setting when using XP. The monitor drivers that I am using is the Generic Non-PnP monitor drivers and it does not allow me to select a refresh rate of 60Hz when I change resolution settings on PC. OS: Vista Premium with SP1 and all other latest updates. Please assist as to where I can find the latest monitor driver that I can use, I am having a 17inch CRT. Thanx

My old 19 inch CTX monitor loves the 1280 X 1024 resolution [ at ] 75hZ and my old Dell with an old nVidia card drives it great at that resolution and speed at full color resolution under Windows 2000 Pro. Since my projector that is attached to the computer (though a amplified splitter) has a native resolution of 1024 X 768 that is what I normally drive it at but the switch is quick when I'm not using the projector. Since the OP was using that resolution for XP OS there should be no issue for the Vista system.

XP drivers may not work with that card at that resolution and Vista's built in drivers may also not have the proper resolutions. Look for the proper Vista drivers on nVidia's website. If they don't have specific Vista drivers the card may not be able to be used at that resolution in Vista. Let us know if any further help is needed and include the video card specifics, model, memory on the card, etc.

Re: Screen Resolution "Curious" <mailmenot[ at ]nomail.com> 12/26/2008 5:53:05 PM Your Monitor driver is fine. It is your Nvidia driver which talks to the monitor driver which controls the resolution. Since 1280x1024 is not a standard resolution I suspect that you were using 1024x768 with your CRT monitor over VGA. It is more likely "Sulaiman" <Sulaiman[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:CF169027-1E64-44C1-9E1C-D24262E9E9B2[ at ]microsoft.com...

Re: Screen Resolution Sulaiman 12/27/2008 4:52:00 PM The strange thing is that I was able to use the resolution 1280x1024 up to about a week ago and then it suddenly refused to take the changes. I made no changes to my system, it just started acting this way after a started one day. I think it has something to do with the monitor dirver as it is using the "Generic Non-PnP Monitor" driver. Graphics Card - nVidia GeForce 6600, 128Mb onboard, using the latest drivers from nVidia version 178.24. I think it has to do with monitor drivers, I am using an AOpen monitor and cant find drivers for it.

Re: Screen Resolution "Curious" <mailmenot[ at ]nomail.com> 12/27/2008 5:36:53 PM Both of my Vista systems use the MS generic monitor driver. What is the version number of the drivers from the Nvidia Website that you are using? Have you checked in the Nvidia Control Panel to be sure that Showing all Modes is enabled?
