My resolution
« on: August 14, 2009, 21:55:55 PM »
Hello,

I have a annoying problem with my resolution. I have my resolution set to 1680x1080 and thats just the way i want it because when i set it higher then its diffecult for me to read text. But since a couple of days after i turn on my pc then my resolution is set to 1920x1200 (the hightest) everytime. I dont know what has happened, i didnt installed anything except Vista did his updates and thats it.

Anyone know what to do?

I have Windows Vista, Intel quad core 2.4 ghz.
Geforce 8800 ultra with driver 185.85

Hope to hear something,

Gr Fragger

have you completly removed the drivers for 8800 and reinstall without letting windows install it first?

Tried that, but the text gets a kind of blurry.

Thanks for your input,

yes then reboot then install driver again - you could always try the latest one!( after all we are on 190.62!)
