Resolution Woes


Recommended Posts

I certainly hope someone can help me with this - i dont believe a similar Vista problem has been posted before - at least not recently. If it has though - sorry!

I have a GeForce Go5700 in my laptop, and i applied the nvidia drivers that were released shortly after beta 1 was realeasd. For some reason though, these drivers do not support my screen resolution (1680x1050). Currently therefore I am stuck at 1280x1024.... Vista is beautiful even at that resolution, but i think this is the last thing stopping me from making it my normal use OS. (everything stretched horizontally is quite weird).

By the way, I am a tester, but for some reason the create newsgroup password thing doesnt work for me - so I come to you :).

Hope you can help, thanks! :)

NVidia's drivers are so primitive right now, I don't think you can expect to get them to work at that res. You COULD try modding the INF file and adding a res but that could screw up your drivers ...

Its Fixed! Heres how for anyone with similar issues:

Open reg edit and search for NV_Modes... replace the data in each instance with this:

{*}S 320x200 320x240 400x300 480x360 512x384 640x400=1FFF;SHV 640x480 720x480 720x576 768x576 800x600 800x480 848x480 960x720 1024x768 1152x864 1280x720 1280x768 1280x800 1280x854 1280x960 1280x1024 1360x768 1360x1020 1366x768 1400x1050 1440x900 1520x1140 1600x900 1600x1000 1600x1024 1600x1200 1680x1050 1920x1200 1920x1440 2048x1536x8,16,32=1FFF

That string is from the XP nvidia drivers, and worked like a charm!.... Thanks Glass for your help... it was your advice that inspired me to find this :)... Reboot, and there will be tons of resolution options!
