1680x1050 not working

[math20]

I had 1680x1050 working on my 22" Westinghouse display, but the maximum I can put it on now is 1600x1200.

I am running a 8800gts and windows vista 32. What could be the problem?

Are you running it on analog or DVI?

 

[math20]

Analog right now, I will be getting a DVI cable soon.

Is 1680x1050 listed in available resolutions? If not, have you tried creating the 1680x1050 "custom" resolution in the NVidia Control Panel?

 

[math20]

That resolution is not listed and custom resolutions are not available because I am using vista.

 

[LittleNemoNES]

are you using the deafult vista drivers or the latest Nvidia drivers?

 

[Noema]

Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers?

 

[Rusin]

I had the same problem and I used Rivatuner for this.. I added that resolution to drivers with that program.

I tried reinstalling the drivers, I tried both the beta drivers and the current nvidia drivers, I also tried to do Rivatuner and none of it worked! Do I just have to get a DVI cable or what is the deal?

There you have it. I should have asked before. Get a DVI cable and it will solve your problem: You will be able to add custom resolution and they will "stick".

I can't add custom resolutions in the first place though because I am running vista. Also, I had 1680x1050 working before, but it does not work now for some reason. What could have changed between then and now to cause this problem?
