Yippee....sorted!!

First off - can I thank you all for taking the time and trouble to try
and help me out...it's what the 'net's all about

Now for anyone else with a similar problem, I'll tell you now - I'm not
sure exactly HOW it's sorted itself out, but I'll tell you -what- I've
done, for you too to at least try out as well...

I had a DVI-VGA adapter coming out of ONE of the dual DVI-out ports to
my monitor... Now to me - an adapter is an adapter....but anyway, I
remembered I had another one lying around somewhere. So I shut down my
PC and found the other one.

The one I had in place was one of the break-out types....with a DVI
block to attach to the graphics card and two short leads coming off it -
one with another DVI (female) connector and the other with a female VGA
connector.

I don't know which one of the following sorted out the problem, but I
first exchanged the adapter I had in place with the other adapter (which
was a solid 'block' adapter - no short fly-leads...)

I also connected it up to the *other* DVI-out connector of the graphics
card - rebooted and voila, 1680x1050 was available on the CCC options,
and also, the monitor was showing up as a 'Generic PnP Monitor' in DM
now....

Anyway - thanks again to all who tried to help out....just
shows...'pooters are weird thingymajigs aren't they...?

Cheers
