Hey Guys...
Yesterday I purchased a new monitor (22" Widescreen LCD), I got home, plugged everything in (using VGA cables) and everything was sweet with it running in 1440 x 900. Today, I get home and I chose to swap to the DVI cables insted, mainly because of what everyone on the net was saying about how good they are insted of 'old school' VGA connections.
Well, now I can't seem to get 1440 x 900 any more. Its recomended resolution for this monitor is 1680 x 1050, which is what I'm using at the moment.
Can someone please explain why I cant get my good old 1440 x 900 back? I want it for games and all, as my computers speed and all isnt good enough to run games in 1680 x 1050...
So far I'v tryed
- Reinstalling graphics drivers
- Reinstalling monitor drivers
- Downloading new monitor drivers and trying them
- Downloading new graphics drivers and trying them
So basicly I'm stumped... = (
Thanks,
Ryan
P.S. I'm using a GeForce 8600 GT, with a 4000+ AMD X2...
