Screen Resolution 1440 x 900 No Longer Available

[Guest]

I have a 19 inch widescreen monitor and up until today I was able to set the
resolution to 1440 x 900. However, when I switched on my PC today, the
resolution has changed to 1360 x 768 and I no longer have the option on the
slidebar for 1400 x 900.
I have updated the drivers for my graphics card (NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE
nForce 430) but still no luck.

Please help

How about the driver for the monitor ??

Thanks for responding Gordon

I have just the standard default Microsoft Driver dated 6/06/2001 Version
5.1.2001.0
I've tried to update that also, but it tells me there is no better match
than the one I currently have installed.

If I try to "roll back" a message tells me that there are no driver files
backed up & to try troubleshooter (which doesn't help)

any ideas?

Seems odd. Have you tried the monitor manufacturers site for drivers, or did
you get a disk with the monitor.

Was there some other system software component you updated.

I had an annoying problem in that under Vista I had more widescreens
resolutions available than under XP, which I needed for games.


You might be better off asking in a hardware group about this one, unless
you can link it to a windows update or something.

The only other thing I could suggest is a system restore point.

Thanks for responding Dobey!

I managed to get a responce from NVIDIA themselves & they told me to try and
add a custom resolution via the NVIDIA control panel, which worked
beautifully! (you also need to use the monitor's "Auto adjust").

Hope this helps others with the same problem.
