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 1152x864

But 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?

ty

BTW 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

maybe the driver isnt fully compatible?

edit: what version of vista r u using?

I agree, try to find better drivers Rick..

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.

I got the latest drivers...Its with the latest ones that it does not go above 1024x768

If I leave the drivers Vista installed my resolution is fine, I just dont update my driver

Wow, that's weird :g:

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.

When i connect my laptop to my 20' LCD Display, i can't go above 1024x768. Realy.. i don't Know why, and in my Destop PC now im using 1680 x 1050 in the same monitor..

This is probably due to your monitor/lcd drivers are not installed

Yes, it could be that..

Thranks!

Check in the devmgr (device manager) and make sure it does not say Generic
