    Monitor Resolution Help?

    Yeah i used the Nvidia Control Panel to manually edit the timings (thanks for the tip). Before i was getting black screens and distorted screens but after getting the Active and Total Pixels edited to the right settings it works just fine with no Pan and Scan. I have 2 Resolutions im working...

    Monitor Resolution Help?

    Yeah the only thing that's odd about it is that it does go into a Pan and Scan mode rather than just adjusting the screen to the new size. I've tried just about everything to see if i could make the screen a single no Pan screen at a higher resolution than 800x600 and it just wont do that. Shoot...

    Monitor Resolution Help?

    Just wanted to update this post with something i found today. I was messing around with the Nvidia Control Panel and made a Custom screen resolution of 1024 x 740 (768 makes the screen mess up but 740 works fine) and i pushed the "Test" button and to my surprise it worked. So i hit "Apply"...

    Monitor Resolution Help?

    lol. Yep that's it. I've improved on the look of the 800x600 size by lowering my DPI to 79 which makes all the programs fit just right without taking up the entire screen. Thanks again all who helped.

    Monitor Resolution Help?

    Alright guys i've now made it run at 800x600. For some reason my Nvidia Drivers were limiting the screen resolution to 640x480. So after some fiddling around i found that i could go into my Nvidia Control Panel and go to change resolution then go to Add Resolutions and then finally click "Enable...

    Monitor Resolution Help?

    I just did a quick test and opened my computer up in Safe Mode and guess what.....Its in 800x600. I then did a quick search of "Windows 7 stuck in 640x480" and it seems that others are having the same issue. I guess the best thing now is that i know for sure that this "Super Monitor" can...

    Monitor Resolution Help?

    I've looked around a few places but havent been able to find the actual drivers for the monitor. On driversguide there was one but when i went to install it it said it "the system cannot find the file specified". There were also Driver packs on there that claimed they had the driver so i...

    Monitor Resolution Help?

    Yeah in the midst of searching today i came across those 2 pages. I cant understand either why it says that it will do 800x600 and my computer is saying its limited to 640x480. The model on the back says DL31-1 so that's whats confusing. If i have the DL31-1 why cant i reach the full 800x600...

    Monitor Resolution Help?

    Yeah i know. I still have my Dell monitor thats good but im kinda torn because even tho the screen resolution is lowly 640x480 it actually doesnt look that bad. The only issue i've ran into is my Nero Vision wont work but i can just use ConvertXtoDVD for that. All other programs work fine. It is...

    Monitor Resolution Help?

    I've read some forums and the one program/software that people keep mentioning is called Powerstrip. Many people have said that they were able to go past their stated maximum resolution so im wondering if anyone has heard anything about this program and if you have would it work?

    Monitor Resolution Help?

    lol. Yeah guys everything is huge. I bought it just for the size but it will really suck if im stuck at 640x480. I'll have to think about what im gonna do with this thing if i am. Might just hook it to a second PC and use it for movies or whatever. Just found a link to this thing...

    Monitor Resolution Help?

    Alright i went to a local thrift store where i live and ran across a huge GateWay2000 DL31-1 Destination (made in 1996) Monitor and purchased it for $16. Took it home and plugged it in and it works great. The issue tho is im limited to 640x480 Screen Resolution. I think its kinda a waste for my...
