ricktendo Posted April 11, 2008 Posted April 11, 2008 Hey guys I recently decided to see how Vista ran on my PC, I only have one problem... My monitor driver (under XP) could go up to 1152x864But now under Vista (with the same drivers installed) I can only achieve 1024x768 (you can see what monitor I have in my sig)Does anybody know of a program that runs on Vista that can force set it to a higher rez?tyBTW this is my first time trying Vista and I think I like it, it runs very smooth on my PC and it only has 512 MB of RAM ATM Quote
windowsguy Posted April 12, 2008 Posted April 12, 2008 (edited) maybe the driver isnt fully compatible?edit: what version of vista r u using? Edited April 13, 2008 by windowsguy Quote
NIM Posted April 12, 2008 Posted April 12, 2008 maybe the driver isnt fully compatible?I agree, try to find better drivers Rick.. Quote
Mr.Thunderbird Posted May 3, 2008 Posted May 3, 2008 Yep, it's the driver 100%. I can fully confirm that, as I've just re-installed Vista, and my resolution is normally "1440x900", but it won't go above "1200x800", Installed Drivers for my GFX card, and everything running smooth. Quote
ricktendo Posted May 3, 2008 Author Posted May 3, 2008 I got the latest drivers...Its with the latest ones that it does not go above 1024x768If I leave the drivers Vista installed my resolution is fine, I just dont update my driver Quote
Mr.Thunderbird Posted May 3, 2008 Posted May 3, 2008 (edited) Wow, that's weird :g: Edited May 3, 2008 by Mr.Thunderbird Quote
cygnus Posted May 4, 2008 Posted May 4, 2008 Newer isn't always better. Found that out the hardware with iPod firmware and mp3 player firmware. I don't update until I know it's for a good cause. Unfortunately, it's hard to find out every little thing. At least with driver's it's not like you can brick your computer though. Quote

ricktendo Posted June 24, 2008 Author Posted June 24, 2008 Yes, it could be that..Thranks!Check in the devmgr (device manager) and make sure it does not say Generic Quote
