Resolution Problems
Ok, I got a 1440x900 monitor, with Windows Vista. When I try to choose
1440x900 on the resolutions list, it doesn't appear. I have an Intel 82945G graphics driver, with all the updates, and I can't wrap my head around it. |

Regardless of which version of Windows one is using, it's important to install the "driver" (INF file) for the monitor. That's needed for the video driver and Windows to be able to tell the resolutions and refresh rates of which the monitor is capable. As long as the monitor is listed as "default" or "generic," Windows may not list the maximum resolution of the monitor. Installing the driver for the monitor may also supply Windows with a color-matching (extension: .ICM) file that allows a better display of colors for matching screen display to output on color printers. I believe that getting the latest "driver" for the monitor will solve the problem without needing to install a new video driver. |
