Monitor settings

I recently had to replace my hard drive and reload WindowsXPpro. I have a
Westinghouse L1975LW wide screen monitor (1440x900), but now I can't find
that setting in the screen resolution section. I don't recall having any
software for the monitor, and I cant find any drivers on the Westinghouse
website. Any ideas?

Q: What if my monitor native resolution isn’t listed under the Screen
Resolution?
A: Most likely, your graphic card or its drivers don’t support this
resolution yet. Contact your graphic card or computer manufacturer for
additional help. Chances are you may only need to update your graphic
card drivers.

Q: Do I need a monitor driver?
A: You don’t need a monitor driver to drive you LCD display. Some LCD
manufacturers do include an information file of their monitor for users
to load. However, Westinghouse monitors are fully Plug and Play. In
other words, your PC/Notebook should be able to detect your Westinghouse
monitor as a Plug n Play monitor, retrieve the information that has been
pre-programmed within your Westinghouse monitor, and configure for
optimal settings automatically. If you’re a Linux user, please refer to
the product specification of the User’s Manuel for information on
building your monitor profile. Call our 800 hot line if you need
additional help.

You should be looking for a video card driver as your XP Pro is most likely
running off of a generic driver..

Often it's at Control Panel; Display; Advanced.

What resolution are you at currently? Any idea?
