Ebay in widescreen

No, unfortunately there's nothing to adjust in the screen menus that'll help. I did the same as you regarding the cable type. G

Have you reinstalled the monitor drivers or just the graphics card drivers?

It may also be the case that to get a true widescreen display, you have to accept a loss of resolution.

Keep trying to readjust the resolution downwards and not just upwards, and see if that makes any difference.

I have re-installed the monitor drivers from the Hanns-G disk

I'll try adgusting the slider again a few times

MickKnipfler

Oh...I went into advanced options and found the "hide modes that this monitor can't support" button....

I unclicked that and now have many more options including 1600x1000 up to 2560x1600 but no 1440x900?

Sweetchuck

Can you get 1280 x 800?

MickKnipfler

Nope....1152x864, 1280x1024 or 1600x1000

In post 24, someone posted a picture of their Display Properties options. If you go into the same box on your PC and look at the drop-down box marked "Display:" (it's just above the resolution slider) are there any options to choose between, or just the one?

It doesn't sound like a problem with your GFX card - it's displaying all of the modes it thinks is appropriate. It just doesn't seem to know that you have a widescreen monitor, which to me suggests a problem with the monitor driver.

Have you checked the monitor manufacturer's wesbite to see if there's an FAQ section including a question on this?

MickKnipfler

I don't have a drop down box. There is a picture of a widescreen monitor and it says Display: plug and play monitor on Nvidai Geforce 7800GTX

There are also 2 DVI ports on the graphics card

Would you be comfortable editing your PC's .conf (configuration) files manually?
