8600 -- no 1280x720?

... my 32" LCD monitor goes to 1280x1024, and does scaling.

I previously had a 7600GS, and it did 1280x720p no problem.

For some reason, the 8600 won't do a "native" 1280x720.

I've googled it a bit, and some people seem have had a similar issue, but other people seem to run in that resolution.

Has anyone come across this problem and found the solution?

It's a Phillips ... no brand number... but it supported 1280x720p with the 7600GS.

Literally, I just installed this MSI 8600GT, rebooted, windows found the card, tickled a few things, and bammo... I've lost 720p.

Again, thru Nvidia's control applet, I'm able to manually "add" the resolution, but the monitor kicks to 1280x1024 and scales.
